That Twitter connections are following the connections that we already have in the real world? Vedantum: Exactly. So that the real world powerfully predicts what kind of connections we have in the virtual world. So if you are living in New York, you're much more likely to have followers in London than you are likely to have followers in a small town in the United States." The lede posits much more of a binary nature (as if you can't mainly follow friends with an additional layer of interest-based connections on top) which annoyed me, but there's still stuff of interest here.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The Iranian transport minister has given foreign airlines 15 days to change the name to Persian Gulf on their in flight monitors. If they failed, they would be prevented from entering Iranian airspace, he warned." How are they going to know? Still, another interesting example of names being touchy. (I note the BBC's map says 'The Gulf'.)

    <dc:creator>blech</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Like a child drawing, the old BART map could take you on a flight of fancy, but wouldn't get you to and from work." However: "If I consider the old BART map in the context of the visual culture of the San Francisco Bay Area, I am no longer certain of its inferiority." An interesting piece touching on the cultural links between subway maps and the cities (or areas) they depict. (I prefer the new map, but then, I'm a Londoner.)
