This might give you a somewhat different view of the seemingly affable Malcolm
Gladwell. As Canadians go, he has more in common with, say, David Frum and
Conrad Black than you might otherwise think.

I think we determined a few years ago that the blank space was arising from
sending HTML messages, rather than Text messages. Or at least that is what I
remember. I've changed this to plain text to test what happens.
Take care

As an experiment I once did a google search for something I'd never searched
for before and never usually buy. I think it was something like toothpaste for
sensitive teeth. I had a separate tab open to facebook. When I went back to the
FB tab it was still showing the same ads as before (th
That happened to me recently. It is spooky. The ads on Facebook reflect a
search on google in less than 24 hours.
Now if we could only get that kind of responsiveness from a company on
matters that we really care about! :-)

Something I find most disconcerting is how products I've looked at online
(e.g., using a company's website) end up showing up on Facebook as specific
suggestions. I understand how gmail puts ads across the top and sides of

The algorithms Google uses are proprietary and secret but it's pretty clear

Ha ha. Yes I'm quite confident that the Google suggested autocomplete sentences
have nothing to do with the search on a particular computer. In fact, I'm
pretty sure I've never in my life typed these words (e.g., "women should
not...") into the Google search engine on this computer. I imagine th
