The Media Drop

Over at Lost Remote last week, Michael Gay pointed out the ability for you to now drop video content from MTV’s Overdrive into your blog. Quite a big change from *ahem* these days, when Overdrive only worked for Internet Explorer users.

Just received a heads up that the Associated Press would be shutting down its “asap” service in October of this year. asap targeted young audiences, specifically the 18-35 crowd, with multimedia content that is much more “in your face” than any other AP delivery.

In a move that will probably peeve Michael Bay to no end (I mean, let’s “transcend toy roots” of the Transformers already), Black Lab has recorded its own version of the “Transformers” theme song, since they, among others, didn’t care for the Mute Math version that is floating around in snippets and will be released […]

For those of you into social bookmarking site Digg, you’ll appreciate this comment from “actionscripted” back on August 24, 2006:
“Who cares? Our drug laws really haven’t changed and Macs haven’t gotten much cooler, but they both make front page all the time.”

Taking a page out of the slacker handbook this week is apparently The Australian’s Frank Devine, who finds that sources are much more easy to get quotes from when you just Google the topic you are looking for, make a few key changes to the exact quotations and information that someone else acquired, and print […]
