[This list of the most commonly looked-up words at NYTimes.com is from 2009. We've since published the lists for 2010 and 2011 — don't forget to check those out too. —Josh] If The New York Times ever strikes you as an abstruse glut of antediluvian perorations, if the newspaper’s profligacy of neologisms and shibboleths ever set off apoplectic paroxysms in you, if it all seems a bit recondite, here’s a reason to be sanguine: The Times has great data on the words that send readers in search of a dictionary. As you may know, highlighting a word or passage on the Times website calls up a question mark that users can click for a definition and other reference material. (Though the feature was recently improved, it remains a mild annoyance for myself and many others who nervously click and highlight text on webpages.)

Talking Points Memo’s advertising strategy explained…in 100 seco
Last time we checked in with Talking Points Memo, which was December, the political news site planned to get serious about in-house advertising sales as it added reporters in Washington. Since then, TPM hired its first vice president of sales, Diane Rinaldo , and vastly accelerated the site’s advertising revenue. (Expanding in D.C. has not been as smooth .)Jean-Marie Dru, Chairman of TBWA\Worldwide, is the Jury President for the first ever Creative Effectiveness Lion at Cannes this month. Here he talks about his role. You’ve attended Cannes a few times now. How much has it changed? I’ve only missed one Festival since first attending back in 1973. At that time, it was not as prestigious and impactful as it is today.

A digital poster ad featuring David Beckham in his underwear has been cleared by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) after complaints that the images were offensive and irresponsible. Tesco's chief executive Philip Clarke has closed its second-hand online car business after a year of trading to concentrate on the retailer's core business. After the IAB revealed figures this week showing digital adspend had leapt by 14% to £4.8bn last year, we asked four digital experts where the boost is coming from and how they envisage the market developing this year. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has banned American Apparel from running a series of ads showing women in revealing and suggestive poses, after receiving a complaint that the ads were pornographic and exploitative of women. Nearly a year after Sainsbury's first promised it could feed families for £50 per week, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled the claim was overcooked and should not have been made.

Over the past seven years, at our creative agency, Access , we have worked with a number of residential and commercial property developers from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, helping them with development and strategy. Yet we see so often the sad sight of yet another mediocre building going up. We see city councils approving mediocre design and we see cities looking uglier because of it. We see property developers rushing to get their building up, wanting to make a quick sale and profit, and not really caring or thinking about the aesthetics of the building. Does the building enhance the surrounding area or make it worse?
