The poll found that 41 percent of participants are in favor of building  nuclear power plants here in the U.S. while 39 percent were opposed. (Another bit of NIMBYism, eh?) Three years ago, 49 percent of respondents were in favor.

The study also found that 73 percent of respondents think nuclear waste disposal is a problem, 55 percent think nuclear power is necessary because it doesn’t contribute to climate change like other energy resources, and 29 percent think that nuclear plants are “very safe.”

Harris Interactive polled 2,090 adults over the age of 18 between March 23 and 25.

Kevin York, senior client executive at Voce Communications (which announced that it had been acquired by Porter Novelli in February) writes on the firm blog that it’s logical.

“To me this is all about the demand for companies to incorporate social media into their existing ‘traditional’ CRM platforms and efforts,” he writes. “…That’s what I think this deal is about. It’s not about creating or joining some new market called Social CRM, it’s about social media moving deeper into the traditional, age-old business processes and operations of companies.”

A couple of weeks ago, we said that making outsized requests to reporters about the stories they’re working on is a bad idea after a film company’s grumble about the tone of a Moviefone story turned into an AOL dustup. After reading a few recent stories, it looks like big demands are becoming more common.

During his mea culpa for pitching a fit at the GMA studios, Chris Brown said that it’s normal for he and his team to submit talking points to a potential interviewer. If the interviewer doesn’t agree with the talking points, Brown will take a pass. (In that case, GMA said it received no talking points.)

This week, demands from both Sarah Palin and Britney Spears have turned into stories. Do we smell a trend?

But the man behind the song doesn’t care one lick. He didn’t make the song so you would like it.

“Yeah, people didn’t like the song, didn’t like the music video, they thought it was really cheesy. But that was the whole point, to create something that was really simple but something that sticks in people’s head. To have people say ‘I hate this song, but I’m still singing it,’” Ark Music Factory CEO Patrice Wilson told Gawker. That’s probably what The Beatles were thinking.
