Great News for Web Media Companies

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

The floodgates will now open. As I have been advocating and predicting, old media companies will now re-purpose their cash flow to buy new media companies again. This deal gives permission to newspaper companies - and broadcast companies - to park their cash into growth opportunities. CNet was the last big independent player of scale out there. Now traditional media companies will truly begin, in earnest, to roll up and consolidate and tuck in faster growing Web 2.0 media companies. This is a good move by CBS too. They have a money machine and can expand the revenues of the company. CNet was always an ITV company acting as a web company and they have a terrific publishing platform. Win/win situation here.

Alana Embraces of the Role of Leader

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Alana Beard is a very talented player; a role model to many woman; and a leader on the court. She has become the foundational player upon which we will build the team.

We are all hopeful that she can get healthy and the team can get out to a fast start this year. We will be patient with the rebuild and craft the team around her skill set.
