  It sure sounds like it, thanks! That blog's been posted often, but with little success: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sappingattention.blogspot.com https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=sappingattention.blog... This thread is quite amusing, I think I'll fav it.

    Great blog. The author, incidentally, is a youngish historian named Ben Schmidt. I feel like it's a natural fit with an HN audience given how data-driven his work is, but as you say, it doesn't break through very much. He also created (helped create?) a tool called Bookworm that might be of interest: http://bookworm.culturomics.org http://bookworm.culturomics.org

      Thanks! The Bookworm link doesn't work right now, but I found this demo video very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kAlwiXt0bY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kAlwiXt0bY
