LightningCast of note is supposedly some big ad video network, which AOL bought and bundled into Advertising.com, which is now central to Platform A… llegedly.

Just wondering.

Sometimes, I think that being part of a big media would be great because you can do all of these things to unleash value, but then I realize that being independent allows us to do so much, and not have these silos divide a company’s growth and execution.

Just saying.
