A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

Whoa, the web page to the new season of The Amazing Race now has buttons to StumbleUpon, Digg, BlueDot and del.icio.us.

I’m not sure how I feel about this; I see Middle America being all “WTF” and clicking on the link out of curiosity, and then surprise! They just gamed the system. And people using social media sites aren’t necessarily the prime users of The Amazing Race. This could backfire, pretty badly.

That being said, I’ll totally watch this just to see the midget bicker with the two beauty queens somewhere in Antarctica.

    I guess I’m one of the unwashed…
    Not only do I not get the “gamed the system” reference, I don’t watch the show.
    But, I clicked the links and I guess I’m not registered.
    I feel so v1.4
