Tidbits 11/5

The Clayboard – Nky4Clay tells us:

I just talked to HippoGA who is at The Orleans in Las Vegas. She says be sure and pick up a copy of the Las Vegas Magazine…dated November 4th. There was one in her hotel room…so look around for it…if you are in Vegas.

On page 34 …there is a very nice write up about the show and a pic of Clay. And here is the quote:

“AIKEN HAS A UNIQUE CREDIBILITY THAT MAKES THIS HOLIDAY PERFORMANCE RING ESPECIALLY TRUE”.
Web Metrics Guru – Marshall Sponder wrote “What Drives Google HotTrends – The Missing Piece”. He enjoys looking at Google and seeing what searches are hot. He says that, “…last Thursday, November 1st, it so happened that the term “federalist papers” was #3 on Google HotTrends and it peaked at about 8:30 PM EST time…” He wondered why that would be #3…what drove it up that high? Then he finally found his answer:

The reason = Clay Aiken Was Great on “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” – turns out the question was asked to Clay Aiken while he was on the “Art you Smarter Than a 5th Grader” show and his fans and TV/Internet audience did a query on Google to find out about federalist papers since he had a lot of money riding on the answer – which I think he got correct (but I didn’t watch the show).

How funny that so many people would go check out “The Federalist Papers” after hearing a question asked to Clay!!
