The Weekly ‘Loper – May 7, 2006
Posted by Jim Connelly in The Weekly 'Loper on May 07, 2006
While you spent your week dissecting Stephen Colbert’s speech at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner joke-by-joke trying to determine if it was funny and hit a nerve (it was and it did), here’s what we were looking at:
- Yahoo’s 21st Century Entertainment Network — Yahoo! is making the transformation from a 20th Century Web Portal to a 21st Century Digital Lifestyle Entertainment Network.
- Are the Browser Wars Back? Nah. — But there is a bit of a to-do between Microsoft and Google over a little tiny search box that could lead great big revenues.
- ABC’s Online Programming – First Impressions — By the time that Kassia finished jumping over all of the obstacles ABC kept putting in her way, she was too exhausted to watch an actual program.
- The Real Reason iTunes Songs Are Still Only 99 Cents — A good conspiracy theory should always start with the accountants.
- Today, I Am Cranky — What part of “World Wide Web” does NBC not get? With their Today Webcasts, pretty much none of it.
- That’s What I Like: Drive-by Truckers — Jim takes a look at his current favorite band. A very very very long look, so bring a bottle of whiskey and the live version of “Free Bird.”
