Upon dexamethasone for sale analysis, researchers found that participants with the gene variant linked get discount buy to Parkinson's disease who regularly consume caffeine have a four purchase generic diflucan alternatives problems to eight times lower risk of developing the disease compared triamterene without prescription to those who do not imbibe caffeine. "These population-specific prevalence purchase buy online rates are crucial for targeted genetic screening, research, and the petcam (metacam) oral suspension prescription development of treatment strategies tailored to the genetic and environmental prozac for sale factors influencing Parkinson's disease within these populations," Dr. Truong added. generic ampicillin – Dr. Tan Eng King Dr. Truong noted that lifestyle cafergot without prescription modifications can significantly reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's, especially buy free flovent prescription for genetically predisposed individuals. However, caffeine can also be found cialis cheapest price in other dietary staples, such as energy bars, chocolate, ice tablet buy cream, and workout supplements. Despite the lack of knowledge about for information what causes it, researchers believe a combination of environmental and cheap price acomplia genetic factors may play a role in the condition's development buy cialis canada and progression. To begin with, a doctor will ask about a.

We’ve all noticed how Google will fix our misspellings, with their synonyms list suggesting the more likely search term - Did you mean Relevance?

When the misspelling is so bad it’s not in Google’s synonym rings, we have entered the huge space of random strings that are not in use anywhere (that is the future home for our meme IDs).

Companies have long tried to find misspellings that could become new brands, and the limited lexical space of domains has increased the pressure to misspell. Flickr is perhaps the best known Folksonomy site.

Peter Morville told us that Ross Mayfield of SocialText coined the misspelling indicatr to tag photos of corporate parking lots (a diagnostic tool to detect periods of intense R&D at the company).

And RSA Security, encryption and digital signature specialists, have an authentication product they call securID (nice play on security). At Jakob Nielsen’s User Expreince 2005 conference, Peter Morville pointed out that if you search the RSA site for secureID (note the extra “e”), hardly any results come back. When you misspell it correctly, hundreds of pages are found.

The amazing thing is Google’s synonym list, apparently with the preferred term being rated by their PageRank® algorithms. They ask - Did you mean SecurID? As Peter said, Google knows more about RSA’s business than RSA’s own search engine does.

    This is a cool example, however I can’t take attribution for it. Gerry McGovern, perhaps?

    Hey, that’s my example :-)

    Peter,

    Ross Mayfield’s indicatr and RSA SecurID are both your examples.

    My head was so full of all the events from Jared’s UI10 and Jakob Nielsen’s UX 2005 that I scrambled who taught me what.

    Thanks very much for everything.
