...engine that Internet content will run on. This is a victory party for online advertising's long boom. According to a Yankee Group report, online advertising rang up $16.9 billion in revenue in 2006 and could grow 24% a year or more. It's still a pretty meager slice of total ad spending--only 7.5% last year, according to the report. But expect that to change. "An industry that was pretty much left for dead five years ago is right back beyond where it was in the peak of what we now call the bubble days," says Andrew Frank, media...
...Kennedy’s rich language and the even richer character who takes life from it. Kennedy writes like a smoother T.C. Boyle, her Britishisms landing softer on the ear than the American slang Boyle bandies about. She has his wit, his lyrical vision, and his ability to slice keenly with language, to be precise and poignant.

...from the $218 million that Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich found for London club Chelsea in 2003, to the $1.4 billion shelled out for Manchester United a couple of years later by U.S. tycoon Malcolm Glazer (owner of the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers). The investors' goal: to score a slice of the richest soccer league in the world. Buoyed by rising broadcast revenues and a lucrative fan base swelling from the U.S. to Asia, the 20 teams in English football's top league netted some $2.5 billion in revenues during the 2005/6 season. That's almost triple the levels...
