    good article on current internet access for needy families and the effects on school.

  • “Online dating sites have a vested interest in your failure. If you succeed, the site loses two paying customers.”
  • A few weeks of email and photo exchanging serves to enhance people’s attraction when they finally meet, researchers found, but when the correspondence goes on too long — for six weeks — it skews people’s expectations and ends up lowering their attraction upon meeting.
