The Upfront's Best Moments -- and Most Awkward... →
slavin: If you’ve never been in the advertising or TV businesses, this is a useful intro. This is the part where ~60 billion dollars from brands moves through the hands of the agencies, who give it to the networks. $60 billion a year. This is not done with spreadsheets and algorithms.

This article is such a glorious case of how people who don’t know what they’re talking about should just not say anything.  At least grasp the difference between the dashboard and blog pages before you offer your opinion. Good god.  Edit: Whoops. Misread. He does grasp that difference. Still irksome, however.

withclosedeyes asked: In response to your post on Adobe— can't agree more that it's potentially the end of an era when ambitious kids could pick up skills in software. Prior versions on open source are a great way to step into that, as are education versions that aren't functionally crippled but instead have limitations that would only impede large-scale commercial use of the product.
