A Few Guiding Principles for President-Elect Obama

There is no doubt Obama has a tough row to hoe. Campaigning is definitely different that running a country and based on what we have seen, Obama is great at grass roots and uniting.

Circuit City: Facing Up to the Worst, Shares Rally

I have tried shopping TV's at Circuit City the past few months and have been dissapointed when compairing them to Best Buy.

It is so easy to skip advertisments when veiwing content OTA, but most netbase broadcasts can ensure the viewers are forced to watch ads with click to continues etc. They could even require the viewer to create a profile with basic information that could target the ads to the right segements even further increasing the value of the slot to advertisers. Seems advertisers would get much more bang for they buck just skipping OTA advertising altogther.
