Remember this: It’s not your job to create content for Google. it’s their job to find the best of the web for their results. Your audience is your readers, not Google’s algorithm.

WAX was one of my favorite bands in college. They’ve just reunited, and I caught the first few songs of their set at Liars Club last night. Good stuff.

Rio Wins 2016 Olympic Games - WSJ.com → online.wsj.com

When Chicago was eliminated, a huge gasp rose from several thousand people gathered to watch the voting on three enormous television screens set up on Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago.

“I’m totally shocked, totally shocked,” said Kathie Stellman, who took a train from her home in the suburb of Elk Grove Village Friday morning to watch the vote.

Not everyone was displeased. “My hope is that we’ll get back to paying attention to the problems that are facing the city on an ongoing basis,” said Andrew Huff, editor and publisher of Gaper’s Block, an independent Web site that covers local Chicago news. “We can concentrate on 2009 and 2010 instead of 2016. There are so many things we should be paying attention to rather than whether we’re going to host an event in the future.”

Phones at Mayor Richard Daley’s office weren’t being answered Friday morning.

Ah, fluff pieces. If newspapers are grocery stores, all of them are downsizing into convenience stores, and I am too busy gorging myself on these fruit pie stories to fight about it.

And that’s the trouble, isn’t.
