Media buying web 2.0 – literally

Icon Written by Adam on August 8, 2007 – 10:36 am

Just saw this pop up on the intertube wires: Web 2.0 Services Being Bought by Media Companies.
On the face of it, straight away, you can see both Kaboodle and Clipmarks are not media outlets. They are not press, or blogs, or magazines. Hearst, and Forbes, deal in these areas – and it seems very interesting [...]
