Todays links of interest:

  • Comcast to Slow Some Web Traffic for Up to 20 Minutes
    Here’s an idea, if Comcast doesn’t like the way consumers use the Internet maybe they should get out of the business altogether and stick with what they know — providing crappy customer service to cable subscribers.
  • Rachel Maddow to Replace Dan Abrams on MSNBC
    Yay! We like Rachel Maddow.
  • ‘Home’ Closing at Hachette Filipacchi
    That’s what happens when the remodel finishes. Remodel ‘loper stops buying so many house magazines!
  • Hulu Reaches 100 Million Streams, 3.2 Million Uniques; Now, Time To Advertise
    Actually, it’s time to monetize. 100 million streams and meager advertising (mostly public service announcements) means Hulu is a big money loser at this point.
  • Sex, Drugs and Software Lead Spam Purchase Growth :: Marshal
    People, please! STOP BUYING STUFF FROM SPAMMERS!!!! 29% of you are actually encouraging them to send more spam. Enough already.
  • Is Jon Stewart the Most Trusted Man in America?
    Let’s try it this way: Is Jon Stewart the only "news" anchor out there who doesn’t take campaign announcements at face value?
  • Fox’s ‘Watchmen’ lawsuit heats up
    In which Fox decides it would be better to kill a slated movie (with high consumer interest) than accept financial settlement. Provided they prevail in this lawsuit. You gotta wonder about these people sometimes.
  • MSN Bows New Comedy Series Republicrats
    Finally, news about MSN that’s actually interesting.
  • Advertisers, Media Left in the Dark About New ‘90210’
    Yeah. Wow. Sounds sorta like the CW doesn’t want anyone to know how bad this is going to be.
  • The Death of the Celebrity Profile, Part VIIIIIIIXIXIXIIX
    Is there anything worse than an interview with a "celebrity"? Well, in an era when David Letterman’s interview with Spencer Pratt makes for the most delightful television viewing, the answer should be no. As this piece reveals, it’s still very much yes.
  • IE 8 to get ‘porn mode’?
    Looks like Microsoft has finally figured out how to get back some of the browser market share they’re losing to Firefox.
  • MiddleThoughts
    Because we aren’t the only ones who know what an awesome little gem The Middleman is.
