Wowza. I thought I was on top of online video. I’m hanging my head in humility. Check out this post featuring a timeline of online video by Steve Bryant in his new blog, “ReelPopBlog.”
Included is this dreamy graphic. Click to see it up close.
Business Week wrote about Best Buy’s increasing influence, which worries several major electronics companies (not the least of which are those formerly of Circuit City). Seems Best Buy’s influence is beginning to take a Walmart tone. “We used to call them the 800-pound gorilla,” says the executive of one company that sells televisions and other…
