...this week, we can show that bigotry will only backfire on those who use it.” The e-mail is nothing short of farcical, and, in that respect, is precisely what the doctor ordered. How else do you retain your dignity while stooping to acknowledge the content of a speech by Coulter...
Joost is lean-back from a content point of view, but its attractiveness to advertisers is in getting you involved. Ad execs love Internet TV because its audience is measurable, targetable and interactive. "If you spend 10 minutes learning about a new car you're interested in," Ozguc says, "that's worth gold to advertisers." By 2010, Parks Associates estimates, the online-video market will grow fivefold, to more than $7 billion.

...forced to on study card day. My.harvard’s woes begin with its near obsolescence. It cannot, for instance, take complete advantage of new syndication tools to gather customized, pertinent information for Harvard undergrads. This leaves the determination of much of my.harvard’s content to the staff of Harvard’s IT department. While this explains the portal’s emphasis on university-wide news and resources, most of which holds little significance for undergraduates, it does little to explain why a rethinking of the site has not yet occurred in the face...
