- eBay vs. Craigslist’s lawsuit?  Craigslist is using their blog quite a bit.
- MSFT vs. YHOO acquisition?   In addition to the press releases, YHOO has used their blog to get people on their side.

You know what would be really cool? A service that allows users to name so-called anonymous sources to determine what is valid and what is hogwash.

Judging from this, I guess PaidContent.org’s parent Content Next Media is planning and prepping for a roll-up.
Maybe that’s where Greycroft’s money will go.
Interesting to see what Rafat Ali et al. are planning to scoop up, and how other networks react.

When I began blogging on HipMojo.com, I really did not know which direction I wanted to go. Over time, somewhat by default, I realized the best angle would be that of an online publishing / advertising / search and mainly video executive’s perspective on the industry.

The following overview is pretty much a carbon copy of what made IGN Entertainment merge with Gamespy and roll up Rottentomatoes, TeamXbox, etc.

But before me stands a $23 offer for 26 issues.  That’s a cheap tab.  I am thinking of signing up.  Is print making a comeback?

Read Write Web has a post up that says “content is a commodity”. As an admittedly biased content producer, in the past I’ve written many posts on the scalability of content and the commoditization of distribution.
