Say Hello to the Consultant!

Here is what I mean. Via Dave3, The New York Times reports that someone has been funded masses to study how links and bookmarks die:

The project, which is being paid for by a three-year $378,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, is intended to shed light on the best tools for the job. So far, observation of a few dozen people in their work environments has revealed a hodgepodge of approaches to organizing pages, and bookmarking them is not at the top of the list.

Half a million Canadian to confirm link rot. Good Lord.
