Tech Crunch is a good website. Sometimes the information is useful, sometimes it’s interesting, sometimes I think Michael Arrington and his posse are on crack. This just might be one such time.
I am not sure if we are in a bubble, I doubt it. I see pockets of bubbledom, last year we saw it with […]

Via Robert Young, on NewTeeVee. This reminds me of something I read on John Battelle’s blog, a comment posted by one Lars Mouritzen, who is not a random commentor, but rather, was head of new media strategy at BBC and currently a KPMG as Head of Media within the firm’s Information, Communication and Entertainment (ICE).

I had no idea this was still ongoing, but EMI was the last label standing in its litigation against Bertelsmann, who had provided $85M in loan backings to Napster. I fully respect copyright owners’ rights and all, but this excerpt from a NYT article is very telling:

Increasingly, for some reason, everything I read online about the state of media, be it new or old, I put in the context of how will we look back at this in a few years.
Justin.tv launched recently, it’s about a guy (Justin) who’s headcam is on 24/7 and available on justin.tv. The novelty wears off, […]

Clearly, there is a migration of advertising dollars from the offline world to the online space. We see that every day, and by virtue of operating online, we benefit from that.
