From the Internet Outsider: Shifting ad dollars
Henry Blodget rounds up the latest ad trends in this post. One of the better quotes: These trends are secular, not cyclical: TV networks, radio networks, and newspaper companies won’t suddenly wake up one morning and find themselves back in charge. Individual Internet companies may screw up (see Yahoo/AOL), but if they do, others will rise to take their place…
