Heh, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to use ‘hoi polloi’ in an article. I’ve worked oenologist two or three times, but this is a new one, and it comes in conjunction with Microsoft’s latest effort at gaining more mass appeal for its Live Search.

Live Search’s Andy Lam pointed out the inside scoop about xRank on the service’s blog:

  • A list for what we call “Top Movers”
