...honor to see her in person.” Chao spoke to students after a luncheon meeting of the Senior Advisory Committee to the Institute of Politics. She serves on that committee alongside Senators Edward M. Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass) and Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and other political notables...

He's probably right about this, but lots of purely online companies--among them Yahoo! and, yes, Google--are working on it too. The upshot is that content may increasingly have to stand...
