Via Jim Romenesko:
Renee DiResta of the No Upside blog recently asked Google: “Why is [name of state] so ” and let it autocomplete. She got some very interesting results.
Can you guess Pennsylvania? Top four answers!
Results to come latter. Hint: Not as good as California...or Mississippi.
UPDATE: The answer?
so boring
so haunted
so humid
so famous
Seriously Internet? Humid? OK, boring, yes. What does an interesting state look like? Here's the answer for Mississippi:
so poor
so racist
so backwards
so conservative
Since you asked for it (I'm projecting), Massachusetts:
so liberal
so expensive
so expensive to live in
so important
