Reddit will be bigger than digg
Conde Nast, bought Reddit today. Yes, it’s big news. Yes, it’s not Digg. Yes, I think this will be bigger than Digg. Here’s why.
Already Reddit has licensed it’s technology to other companies, leading off with Lipstick.com as a test site for Conde Nast. After proving that the technology works, they have now sold the four [...]
Family Guy Effect
A good read at T.U.A.W. about how one of my favorite shows, The Office, was saved by iTunes. It reminds me of how Family Guy was brought back after HUGE DVD sales. This is a sped up version of great DVD sales that saved an already cancelled show, or in this case saved the show [...]
