Hi. Gur here. I'm the co-founder and publisher of Room Eight, one of New York's most heavily read political blogs (or rather, blog of blogs and vlogs). Here, however, I keep the topics more varied and free flowin'.
Put simply: we surf the web - and link to sites - based on the universe of sites occupying our minds at any given point in time. Or conversely, we do not surf from site to site (via rss or otherwise), nor link to sites that are not in our minds. Hence, mindshare.
To calculate this reality, one that accurately portrays what we're surfing and linking, I came up with a simple equation:
Online Mindshare = the combined average of a site's online rankings (vis-a-vis ranking sites Technorati, Alexa and Quantcast) minus (-) the site's Google Page Rank premium.
The Google Page Rank premium is just that; a mechanism by which further weight is given to the combined average rank, thus improving a site's ranking by up to 50% (for a 10/10 Google home Page Rank)
It would seem logical then to conclude that site publishers/brand managers should have as their goal to increase mindshare online (though it should be noted that this calculation is tonality neutral). Though eventually - as media formats converge, content consumption becomes more channelized and as the web wigitizes (I guess...) - there will probably be less and less differentiation between the concepts of on and off -line mindshare.

I am taking the liberty of writing to your Hon’ble self directly,to bring to your kind notice the sickness governing our Political System.
I hope you are aware of the fact that once our country was called “sone Ki Chiriya”,to plunder our country came invaders from almost all parts of the globe,The Moughals settled to rule,a dynasty that ruled our country for centuries,sensing a rich harvest with a weak ruler came the British,again ruled our country,After the British left our country, we are being plundered once again by a new breed of invaders called the politicians,they too have established strong roots in our country to plunder it to their satisfaction.
Every politician claims that till his last drop of blood he will serve the nation,but his own blood never serves the nation,have you ever heard that the son/daughter of some politician has joined the armed forces,no the kith and kin of politicians never like to shed their blood for the nation,but they suck the blood of the nation,You will find that the kith and kin of the politicians either become businessmen/businesswoman or follows the footsteps of their father or mother.Its for the common man to serve the nation,I had tears in my eyes when once I read in a army camp”FOR YOUR TOMMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY”,The supreme sacrifice of life.
Since there is a retiring age for all Government Servants, their heads should also retire when reaching that age.The politicians should allowed only two elections in their life time,their retirement or two elections which ever comes first.In our country a politician wants to contest elections till his last breath.
The mother of all evils is the State Elections /the Government formed in a state to rule, does the Government machinery collapse when the Central Government imposes Presidents Rule in some states, no it never does rather, the working of the Government Officials improves during that period.There should be a competent Governor in a state to oversee the matters of the state with the help of competent officials.
The age to contest Parliament elections be raised to 35 yrs,let all citizens serve the armed forces for a minimum period of 10 yrs after their graduation.Graduates should only be allowed to contest Parliament elections.
The kith and kin of a politician be barred to contest election till his father or mother is contesting or is Member Parliament,Minimum period of 5yrs gap should be there,before for making him or her eligible.
Like MISA,COFEPOSA,POTA etc.Stringent Law should be enacted to punish corrupt Member’s of Parliament or Ministers,misusing their post for selfish gains.
Now comes a very important question ‘What will a politician do after his retirement”-Politician then will serve the Party-the People-the Nation.
With a population of over one Billion people I am sure we will have better people to serve the Nation in all respects.
Give it a thought.

This is to be distinguished from having the object brought under my disposal (in potestatem meam reductum), which supposes not a capability merely, but also a particular act of the free-will. Simple and sensible forms of social control lead to social stability, and to the creation of model social subjects; and in the process, corruption, and all its corresponding disruptive vices, are usefully driven out from society. And it is this the self--evident potential for inhumanity that will always exist in the society which strives to attain perfection, and which More worked into his own vision of
The severity of the punishment to any deflectors is telling:
And this title constitutes the right to impose upon all others an obligation, not otherwise laid upon them, to abstain from the use of certain objects of our free choice, because we have already taken them into our possession butt.
The confusion one might experience in approaching such a question is mirrored in the centuries of scholastic debate the text has aroused; since its very first appearance in print Utopia has succeeded in functioning primarily to provoke uncertainty and disagreement amongst its readers and interpreters.
That is, any impulse or activity which does not conform to and have its place within the workings of society must, for the good of that society, be absolutely and categorically disallowed.

We thus begin to understand more fully the reason behind the severity and frequency of the punishment of universal or seemingly inoffensive crimes.
