It's 1300 people, not 3254 people. The way the idea bank works is that when you make a new account you get 10 votes, and can allocate up to three of them per idea, which is what happened here.
grignr··on Microsoft: 'Friends don't let friends use IE6'
If they'd take the '6' out of that sentence, I'd be in total agreement.
grignr··on Redfin Turns Profitable, Real Estate Industry Shudders
I agree, but maybe it should be a sliding scale based on what the house is worth. For a $100k house, even Redfin's flat fee of $5k-$7k is more than double the Netherlands' 1.85% cap.

So for every 100 clicks Bing was getting before Microsoft spent a brazilian dollars on advertising, it's now getting 113 clicks. If I worked on Bing I guess I'd be happy about the bump, but it seems awfully expensive...

Also, how many clicks did Bing start out with? Is this actually as significant bump in market share as compared to Google?
