We have another 2 Comment of the Day prizes to give away and both of them relate to the mainstreaming of online media (specifically video and audio). The first is from our post Is Oprah Going to Save the Internet?, in which Marshall Kirkpatrick noted that Oprah Winfrey's use of podcasting, Silverlight and Skype could be "a turning point for the [Web] platforms of the future."

But the large web following wasn't enough to keep "Jericho" on the air -- today CBS axed the show.
