How News Travels on the Internet (really the blogosphere)

Stephen VanDyke » How News Travels on the Internet
Stephen visualizes how news and information travel the Internet. Interesting that he is really really referring to the blogosphere not the internet proper. If it was the internet proper he would be paying much more attention to the “Dark Matter”.
From Stephen’s page:
Here’s how I see news travel, I think it’s a pretty self-explanatory graphic, plus I’m too lazy to do a proper write up. Infer as you wish, maybe I will become the “source” one of these days.

I hear Al Franken, literally.

Air America Radio
From the site:
On March 31, 2004 Air America Radio begins airlifting entertaining, progressive talk radio to millions of Americans who for far too long have been and are being neglected by talk radio broadcasters today.
Our on-air personalities and guests represent today’s top political and popular humorists, commentators, activists and analysts.
Our irreverent, informative programming sparks the kind of challenging political and social dialogue that has been absent from AM radio for years.

Go Larry! Hope the book makes people THINK.

Wired 12.03: Some Like It Hot
From the excerpt:
If piracy means using the creative property of others without their permission, then the history of the content industry is a history of piracy. Every important sector of big media today – film, music, radio, and cable TV – was born of a kind of piracy. The consistent story is how each generation welcomes the pirates from the last. Each generation – until now.
