I.Cringely - “YouTube is the factory outlet of commercial television, at least for now.”

I love Robert Cringely’s pulpit column at PBS.org.
He always has a depth to his analysis that I appreciate.
Last week, he talked about YouTube because c’mon, WHO HASN’T! For crying out loud, my grandmother asked me about it. If there is anyone out there who says that YouTube isn’t a common household word, I […]
