http://www.hulu.com/, an interesting venture by Fox and NBC getting TV for free on the web. On the other hand there are TV search engines been created on the Web. Don't really think the guys want to match the mediums for content, they'd rather just watch it there!

Just heard that Microsoft has invested in facebook ...whew!

well it's just not about SK having its social networking site .. T mobile from Germany has stakes in one of Germany's most popular portal..so is Lycos in Europe where Telefonica and another telco has a stake... seems like the future of telecom :)

Another mish mash in the telecom industry, cyworld a social networking site was started by SK Telecom, a leading telecom company in S.Korea. Nokia on the other hand have made similar investments with Ovi and Mosh and infact so did google with Zingku, a mobile social network and Nokia also bought Navteq, a mobile navigation provider ... telecom provider, equipment maker, media company, internet company, search engine ..well they all seem to be going the same direction ..getting 'social' services on their platter!

Imagine'07... an interesting gathering by microsoft in Paris claiming that it would gather a sizeable proportion of the global advertising spent through its investements in web technologies .. a BW article 'Microsoft the Media King' does the job explaining how the company is transforming for the new age!

Martina talks of this great campaign done by mini in her blog adverblog, I completely buy the campaign but fail to understand how it would create enough buzz to reach out to a justifiable audience..sometimes it remains as a marketers chatter ..only time will tell with this one!
