Facebook’s new algorithm tilts left significantlyReason #34,563,112 why I don’t use Facebook: An analysis of Facebook’s new algorithm shows that it boosts traffic to left-leaning news sources while significantly depressing traffic to conservative sites.
Liberal publishers have gained about 2 percent more web traffic from Facebook than they were getting prior to the algorithm changes implemented in early February.
On the other hand, conservative publishers have lost an average of nearly 14 percent of their traffic from Facebook.
Interestingly, up until this month there had been a steady rise in Facebook traffic for Behind the Black. This month, suddenly, that traffic has dropped.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

From day 1, the idea of facebook has always creeped me out, I’m probably the only guy left in USA that isn’t signed up with it…never could figure out a reason to try it.
Then there are two of us.
Three.
Make that Four, I call it Lucifers living room, never been on it.
Unfortunately it’s too good of a place to share instant news/pictures/stories etc etc.
It’s the only place I know that my co workers, my HS and College classmates, my family members near and far, will all be able to see my pictures and posts of events and moments that are important to me and/or to them.
Where else can I put up a picture of my son winning his soccer or baseball games and be sure that his grandmothers, aunts, uncles, teachers, will all get to see it instantly?
Where else can I see right away how bad the storm damage and power outages are in my little town? Or find out what happened last night when I heard multiple sirens go by the house?
I also pull out my hair at some of the crap I see on there, but like it or not it’s the only widely used/universal social commons available right now.
I can only console myself by hoping I have swayed some of my liberal friends and family on FB with my numerous extremely cogent arguments I have made on their pages…. LOL!
