Follow up post from Josh

Wanted to share a couple things that I didn't get to during my presentation.

Jon Stewart blasting away at Twitter:


And Jon completely taking CNBC to the cleaners about their "reporting" and rosy crystal ball commentary about the economy. Rick Santelli – the "reporter" that went ape on the trading floor complaining about bailouts – was supposed to be a guest on The Daily Show, but was a no show. Well, like when McCain bailed on Letterman, you don't bail on high profile talk show hosts.


CNBC didn't have a response it seems.


And one more:


Here's a blog/bitch session about Lessig's Creative Commons undermining the photography market. I can see points on both sides of the issue and still haven't decided what to really think about it. Very tricky to navigate some of them. If there are lots of "good enough" images that can be used under CC licenses why pay for images? Yet, if a art director or someone of the like needed quality work and found a photo through CC and licensed other images from a photographer for market prices the system worked, right? Still don't know...
