Has Internet Television Arrived? #
Perhaps hyperbolically, PC World points to a possible sign it has:
A tectonic shift has taken place for the digital age: ad rates for popular shows like The Simpsons and CSI are higher online than they are on prime-time TV. If a company wants to run ads alongside an episode of The Simpsons on Hulu or TV.com it will cost the advertiser about $60 per thousand viewers, according to Bloomberg. On prime-time TV that same ad will cost somewhere between $20 and $40 per thousand viewers.

I was just thinking that all webpages should have a reading view — the way Hulu or YouTube allow you to dim light — and today everyone is talking about this superb-looking bookmarklet.
It has choked on a number of sites I’ve tried it with — spitting out a sidebar, the comments, or in at least one case, the header instead — but when it works it’s pretty good.

Austin Kleon is rather excited that Hulu — a synonym for legal, free, ad-supported streaming — now has some Three Stooges episodes. Personally I’ve never much watched the classic, but now I think I mights have to.
