==Pick of the Day==
*[http://www.amazon.com/One-Jump-Ahead-Computer-Perfection/dp/0387765751 One Jump Ahead: Computer Perfection at Checkers: Jonathan Schaeffer]
::Dear Tom and Jennie,<br /><br />You mentioned in passing on yesterday's show that computers had mastered Checkers decades ago. There's a really good book about this, called "One Jump Ahead". It's written by Jonathan Schaeffer, who led development team for the computer program.<br /><br />It's a fascinating story, and the descriptions of the software's games against world champion Dr Marion Tinsley are particularly gripping. Dr Tinsley was probably the greatest Checkers player ever (over the course of his 45 year playing career, he only ever lost seven games!)

==Messages==
::If Twitter is struggling with growth and there is a chance they get bought out, imagine if LinkedIn Bought them or vice versa. Twitter being the Business to Public face, LinkedIn Being the Business to Employees face. It would be a Tough Integration and a hard sell to Passionate supporters of both camps, but you could see how linkedIn would be salivating over the potential Numbers of Businesses that Need Twitter, and how Twitter would get a more Robust backend and purpose.<br />crazy? yes, but maybe Facebook has your social life, and the work & businesses lives need to gather together for strength.<br /><br />Thanks Again.
