Considering that we don’t often (if ever) get to glance at this level of traffic on our own sites, I thought I’d share [...]

November 9, 2009

For a long time now I’ve been hearing people predicting the death of traditional media (you know: television, radio, books and newspapers). “Old Media is dead! Long live New Media!” This is 50% crap, but it’s also 50% true. And since I’ve been fielding a lot of questions about this lately, let me see if [...]
