    Ha, that Penguin thing is awesome. It's amazing how creatively "dinosaur" categories like paper books are using new media -- good for them. Kinda reminds me of that Dr. Jay website you had a couple of months ago. Good stuff.

    True, true. I think it's a tell-tale sign of where culture is going, soon even "dinosaur" industries like medicine and traditional publishing will learn to play nice with social media. A handful will do it in smart ways because they're innovators and thought leaders. The rest will follow because they have no other choice -- this is what consumers demand, it's a matter of time until it's the norm.
