North Dakota has the lowest tourism rate in the country. So they will try anything! Like this actual creative from the state’s new marketing campaign.

“It’s not Google’s job to be sticking it to anyone with its search results. Those results are supposed to be showing what are the most relevant things for searchers out there. That’s how Google wins. That’s how Google sticks it to competitors, by not trying to play favorites in those results, nor by trying to punish people through them.”

- Well said, Danny Sullivan.

I just want to give a shout out to the Amazon warehouse workers this holiday season. Without you, I would have been out in the cold a lot more than necessary. Thanks!

But seriously, clicking a button is easy. Let’s not forget the real people who are putting in real work to make those orders magically appear.

barackobama:

Earlier this afternoon, Republicans in the Senate filibustered the Rebuild America Jobs Act. It would have invested $60 billion in projects to rebuild roads, airports, and bridges and put a lot of people back to work. If you’re as sick of GOP obstructionism as we are, take a minute to find your Republican senator on Twitter today using our Tweet for Jobs tool and tell them we can’t keep waiting for action on jobs.
