Just read the last three sentences…In my mind that direction is clearly underway as the eBayization of Skype is obvious.

PulverMedia has brought the concept of a show daily back to VON. Paul Kapustka, blogger, editor and journalist is going to lead the efforts. They are going to call it a print blog so my guess is the content will be replicated online and the stories can be commented on.

My friend, sometimes colleague and most of all, all around nice guy Bill Ryan, who helped Shel Israel and I with iotum, in their prep for their Demo God winning performance is the master of making short phrases matter.
