These kinds of articles need many pops to get more attention. The lamestream media sure isn't giving it to them.

Kkcapricorn,
as you certainly noticed - on clipmarks big part of pops are matter of “social reciprocity” between friends or “friends”, and this is not always most advantageous for informational diversity and cogency here. But this “social reciprocity” is in fact the main motor of clipmarks. Nevertheless I agree this site is definitely great invention because of nonlinear access to vast diversity of information.
