ZUMA | Housing "Sexy" Smells Different for Gay, Straight Men, Study Says May 10, 2005 A new study shows that gay men respond differently from straight men when exposed to a suspected sexual stimulus found in male sweat. When homosexual men smelled the odor of male sweat—more specifically, a chemical in the male hormone testosterone—their brains responded similarly to those of women. The findings suggest that brain activity and sexual orientation are linked. It also supports an opinion held by most scientists, that people are born—not bred—gay. "This is one more line of evidence that there's a biological substring for sexual orientation," said Dean Hamer, a geneticist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. Hamer is the author of The Science of Desire: The Gay Gene and the Biology of Behavior. The study was published today in the research journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Reproductive Behavior The scientists exposed heterosexual men and women and homosexual men to chemicals found in male and female sex hormones.

Why there is no god TONE IT DOWN | Pagesdigital Google Promises Consumers Greater Ad Transparency Google is making changes to its ad system in an effort to provide consumers with "greater transparency and choice." Over the coming weeks, users will be able to click on links labeled "Why these ads?" next to advertisements served in Gmail and Google search results, the company announced in a blog post Monday. These links contain information about how and why users were targeted for a particular ad. Users can find out why, for instance, they're suddenly being served ads for restaurants in Honolulu while they're on vacation there or why ads for North Face coats are appearing above their Gmail inboxes after running searches on "winter parkas" an hour earlier. Users can also open up the Ads Preferences Manager to further adjust their settings, and/or opt out of personalized ads altogether. The changes won't mean much to consumers who already understand the basics of ad targeting, but it should be helpful to those who have wondered why Google seemingly knows so much about them.

In Search Of Little Sadie Social Media Presence More Important Than Social Media Ads Social media marketers feel that having a presence on social sites is more important than advertising there, but there are still challenges related to keeping a community running online. In July 2011, Microsoft Advertising and Advertiser Perceptions surveyed social media marketers in six countries around the world and found that 74% of them thought it was very important to have a presence on Facebook, but only 57% felt the same way about advertising there. On Twitter, presence also carried more weight, with 47% of respondents saying they thought it was very important. But in Twitter’s case, there was not as much of a difference between presence and advertising, at 42%. Of the marketers surveyed, 72% agreed that measuring return on investment from social media was too hard, an oft-cited challenge of social media overall. Looking at social media budgets gives more insight into how marketers are keeping their communities engaged online. Keep your business ahead of the digital curve.
