In Google We Trust: Users' Decisions on Rank, Position, and Relevance
"An eye tracking experiment revealed that college student users have substantial trust in Google's ability to rank results by their true relevance to the query. When the participants selected a link to follow from Google's result pages, their decisions were strongly biased towards links higher in position even if the abstracts themselves were less relevant. While the participants reacted to artificially reduced retrieval quality by greater scrutiny, they failed to achieve the same success rate. This demonstrated trust in Google has implications for the search engine's tremendous potential influence on culture, society, and user traffic on the Web."

Super Singles Day Is Coming - How to Celebrate it?
Singles Day in China is the celebration - or mourning - of being unattached. Started by students in NanJing in the mid-1990s, the date was selected in observation of its four solitary digits 11-11 which looks like singles standing alone. This year's Singles Day seems to carry more weight than usual as the date is 11-11-11.So Chinese youth nicknamed 11-11-11 as Super Single Day.
