The Six Things That Make Stories Go Viral Will Amaze, and Maybe Infuriate, You - The New Yorker
Despite launching less than two years ago, the site has steadily climbed the ranks of Internet popularity, ranking third in a December rating of Facebook shares, right behind BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post.

Facebook Busted in Clumsy Smear Attempt on Google - The Daily Beast
In fact, it almost seems a little afraid.Dan Lyons is technology editor at Newsweek and the creator of Fake Steve Jobs, the persona behind the notorious tech blog, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs. Burson even offered to help an influential blogger write a Google-bashing op-ed, which it promised it could place in outlets like The Washington Post, Politico, and The Huffington Post
(Quartz commissioned limited surveys in just two countries; we encourage researchers and other journalists to conduct more large-scale studies.) The effects of the misconception also are visible in the survey results.
