- GData and Open Standards (Matt Kaufman from edgeio thinks Google could've done better to support existing open standards like Structured Blogging -- via Jeff Clavier)

- The Economist feature on new media (high level look at things like blogging and wikipedia)

- Diversified Media Companies - Year To Date Price Breakouts (a chart which shows most media stocks struggling - News Corp is one of the few above the line though...)

- YouTube: Too rough for advertisers? (interesting article that explores how advertisers are coming to grips with new media and, perhaps more importantly, what young people like these days)

- TVGuide.com Launches Blogging Community (I did some work for Susan Mernit on this, so great to see TVGuide launching into blogging in a big way - 65+ "entertainment blogs" and users can create their own too) 

- Should Google Have Waited for ‘ThinkFree’? (I'll be reviewing Web Office contender ThinkFree soon, but in the meantime it's getting good press...)

- WebOS market review (Over at ZDNet I take a look at the still nascent WebOS space, which is one thing Google hasn't entered...yet)

- ProgrammableWeb 2.0 goes live (one of my fave tech resources, John Musser's mashups site gets a facelift -- looks great and I love the new stats features!)
