Stuff on the web I thought was important enough to bookmark
http://www.delicious.com/broadcastassassinGood list, guys, but if they’re really going to get serious about making it a business, gotta throw a bit of www.adage.com, www.techcrunch.com, www.mediapost.com, and www.paidcontent.org.
Don’t forget The Emmy Awards, because you can win there, too.
And most importantly, www.savetheinternet.com, or none of the above matter at all.
