Have you all seen A O L today?

I don't know how many of you have AOL, but I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I got up and saw featured an article about why it is valuable to learn a second language....UNTIL......

In the article there was a link to online learning classes, and I wanted to make sure that SD was represented. So I click on the link, and guess what came up? The entire page was an ADVERTISEMENT for livemocha.com. It was a dirty trick....the front piece was what appeared to be a straight news story, and the link was only to livemocha.

Which got me to thinking....I wonder how many times this happens to us in our daily lives without really noticing it? How many times are we being "nudged" in a direction frequently enough that in the end we think it is our own idea?

Not happy about this at all.....

I would put the link on but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm sure that someone who reads this can come along and fix it for me....

Hi, Cathy. I just looked at AOL. I don't have it, so maybe I wasn't seeing the right page. Here is a link to the page I was seeing. You do the link just like a picture, only you use the green hyperlink left of the quotes to link it.link text
