Shit on the Rise
Software designer Tom Hume made use of the Guardian's API doohickeys to find out how often it's printing dirty words. Who knew Brits were so skittish about "wank"? [Chart via his Flickr] -

You Call This a Downturn?
The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has measured this recession against past ones and found it wanting. It will take more than twice as many layoffs before it counts as "harsh." Take that, doom-mongers! -

Facebook's new value: $1.3 billion?
With more than 120 million users, Mark Zuckerberg's social network continues to grow, kudzu-like. And yet it is worth far less today than the $15 billion it commanded a year ago. Why is that? -

Deep Breath
If I run another illustration of the end of the world, I'm going to shoot myself. So, instead, here's a chart with some perspective. Note how miniscule a bump markets experienced during the supposed "crash" of 1987. Even after the today's drop in the Dow below 9,000 the index is roughly where one would expect it to be if the economy had grown modestly and the two asset bubbles—dot-com stocks last decade and real estate this one—had never happened. -

Newspapers' Annus Horribilis
Another grim set of numbers for May—grimmer than a Goldman Sachs analyst's "most bearish dreams"—have left newspaper advertising revenues about 12% below last year's level. If business doesn't pick up, newspapers can expect to bring in about $37bn in 2008, down from $49bn at the height of the boom in 2000. But the data is even more depressing if adjusted for inflation: in 2000 dollars, ad revenues will be down nearly 40% on their level at the start of the decade.
