Some Monday links
Here are some media-related links for your amusement:
1. CNN fired one of its producers for daring to have an opinionated blog. This despite the fact that he never actually blogged about his work.
2. Tech Crunch reports that half of all clicks on display ads are worthless. I’m not sure that this is necessarily a big deal, since I always equate display ads with the kinds of ads that appear in print — they’re a form of branding, not a draw to a website.
3. Four major news companies have banded together to form a localized ad network. The E&P doesn’t do a great job of explaining how it will work though.
4. Bookstore Revenues Show Stability, Modest Growth for ‘07
5. Nick Mamatas on the posthumous publication of a collection of stories and the road he traveled to get it printed.
6. A review of the very first issue of Wired. Like any time we look back at technology articles from years ago, some snickering will ensue.
