Glue extension: A case study in pop culture

I found this way too priceless not to share. Searching Google News for more info about the Glue extension for Chrome (Glue is a product recommendation service that has some people in Silicon Valley foaming at the mouth), I noticed these two links side-by-side:

Glue Is Now On Chrome – Technorati Rejoice, Mass Market Yawns?

Kim Kardashian on New Streaked 'Do: "Gluing in Extensions Was Torture!"

It's not funny because both subjects are overhyped and misunderstood. It's funny because the second one, the one that was written based entirely on tweets, got 11 comments. The tech one got three. Barring any other measure of traffic, I think it's safe to say the Kardashian hair thing probably got a lot more hits.

I'm not really sure what else to say, but celebrity gossip is looking like a pretty booming industry right now.
