Tch Tch.. to my knowledge factoids originated with the tabloid publication "USA Today" that has, as its major design thought, no story that extends more than one column, and certainly not onto another page. They set out to appeal to a sixth grade level of reading, and those more used to the major TV network news. Think a 'soundbite' in print. Factoids are tiny little graphs, quotes, or other easily consumed information that is not intellectually challenging, but very useful when discussing football on Monday morning at the office. <p>Aulus<br>
