NEWS Roundup: MTV VMA's
Before you read these, keep in mind that the YouTube/iPod paradigm isn't permanent.
My comment: In the rush to serve technology/hyperactivity, MTV may be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There's a point where technology becomes ridiculous, and many in the press/blogosphere are calling MTV out on the game they're playing. Place your bets.
(Hey MTV: Take a page from Daft Punk's playbook. Do you own the technology or does the technology own you?)
