2007. What a long strange trip it’s been.
This year,
- Microsoft emerged as a staunch opponent to monopolies.
- Apple became a telecommunications dinosaur, frustrating consumers.
- CBS and NBC say that 30% and 80% of users watch full length TV shows to the end online.
- Cisco buys a social network, Tribe.
- Two men who inadvertently gave nightmares to record labels, Kazaa pioneers Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Frist, become defenders of copyright holders’ rights with Joost, their new P2P video platform.
- EMC pays $87M for an online storage and backup company, that does not, apparently, back up anything.
- Henry Blodget, poster child for high-paid, conflicted Wall Street analysts goes open source and shares his insightful insights with the world, for free, on AlleyInsider.
- Jerry Yang, who never (apparently) had any employee report to him all of his life, takes the reins of one of the largest new media companies with 12,000 employees and $6B in annual revenues.
I love this space.
