Exclusive!

As of early 2011, the Huffington Post, an aggregation of blogs, is in the business news for its success with search engine optimization based on content-farmed articles. The notorious example from the beginning of the year was an article written to fill space below the title "What Time Is the Super Bowl?" Lots of people googled that query, lots of people were duly delivered to the article, and the Huffington Post wound up with lots of monetizable clicks.

Well, on Sunday, February 27, readers of Gannett newspapers saw this cover on their magazine section.

Haec fabula docet: Gutenberg technology has caught up with the sensibility of the Net. I can't wait to see what's going to happen to the sex article (upper left corner of the cover) in the next issue of Cosmopolitan.
