Tim Logan referenced our work in his recent post on Linkedin: Mining for the meaning beneath the jargon.

You know I really love the blogosphere, I had no idea when I started 18 months ago just how much of a productivity tool it would be. To take just one example; last week I was told by several people in no uncertain terms, that I needed to provide a summary of some of the […]
I was pleased to see my cynicism about the Guardian “science correspondent” picked up by people who know far more about these sort of experiments than I do. See here for a well written account of the experiment, and the limits of the conclusions that can be drawn.
