Interesting NYTimes piece today<\/a> (registration required) on the death of TV. Sure, the rumors are greatly exaggerated, but when Rocketboom draws 200,000 viewers a day, eyebrows and questions are raised in CableLand. As well they should be.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s Rocketboom<\/a> is particularly interesting in its coverage of this year’s SXSW event in Austin, Texas. I’m struck, as always, by how much IT innovation is driven by what the innovators themselves would like to play and work with. Perhaps this is where play gets serious in any community.
