“Be warned though that iTunes can get expensive. If you watch premium-cable television shows, you can pay more than $40 for the season of a single show. But even that is less than one month of cable.”

Cable isn’t worth it in this day and age (unless, this article points out, you need sports).

“

Dan Frommer is 27 years old and works as a writer for a technology Web site. Frommer pulled the plug on cable TV in May 2008 and instead gets shows from the Internet via a Macintosh computer hooked to his LCD television. He can’t get everything he’d like to see, but he’s saved $1,500 on cable-TV fees. “I’m not going to let myself get ripped off for a bunch of garbage that I don’t watch anyway,” he says. Many of his 20-something friends have also pulled the plug. The next generation—today’s teenagers—will likely never sign up for cable TV at all.

This is dreadful news for cable companies. For decades they’ve had a glorious business model, running the tollbooth that stood between you and the shows. Now the Internet provides a way to get around that tollbooth, and cable companies are faced with a dilemma: do they embrace the Internet and try to make money online, or do they fight the Internet and try to hold off the destruction? The answer is to do both—holding off the rising tide with one hand while racing to devise workable Internet business models with the other.

Why Google’s glad to dance to Vevo’s tune | Media Maverick - CNET News

At the Vevo party, Schmidt said Google couldn’t be happier with the situation. This is what he’s done for over a year now, held out his hand to big newspapers, film studios, TV networks, and book publishers. By taking a backup role in Vevo, Google sends a message that the rogue image is garbage and the company is prepared to go a long way—even give up decision-making power—to help partners grow their businesses. No threat here.

These are not the droids you’re looking for.

Don't ever microwave food in plastic!

Don't ever microwave food in plastic!:

peterfeld:

Not afraid to be servicey. I’ve known this since the mid-90s but apparently not everyone does. The chemicals released when you microwave plastic, that combine with your food, may be very toxic. Softer plastics (i.e. plastic wrap) are worst.

I’m posting this because it’s the first time in seven months at blip I’ve had an empty In Box. Feels. So. Good.

I hate Brightcove. Their players only work 50% of the time for me. I guess I’ll have to see this another time.

Postling is a social media management tool for businesses, allowing them to do all of their blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and reputation management in one place.

Job Description:

Continuously find new leads using Internet, phone, connections, etc.

Present Postling to potential customers in person at client sites or via phone, web conference, or trade show.

Compose sales proposals and maintain communication relationships with customers.

Close the sale! Leads are nice, but money in the bank (and in your pocket) is way better.

Teach us something new about our customers based on your conversations with them.

Qualifications:

You LOVE sales. There is nothing you’d rather do. (Be honest.)

Track record of selling technology to corporations.

You can close the sale yourself.

You use and understand why social media is valuable for businesses.

Compensation:

$40k base + commissions starting at $250 per sale, medical / dental / vision benefits, phone.

You can work from home, but must attend weekly meetings in NYC. Our office is located in Union Square (12th and Broadway) if you’d rather work there.

Application: Send email to dave@postling.com. Your email should include your resume and a brief explanation of 1) why Postling is great for businesses, 2) your sales experience, and 3) a link to your blog or twitter account and LinkedIn account.

Hello, the last two years of my life. Without the base salary.

I’m also looking if you’re interested :-)
