My BNET Media posts for the week of October 12, 2009

Let's hear it for blatant self-promotion! This week on BNET Media, I wrestled with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Balloon Boy, and clouds. In reverse chronological order, here's what I posted:

• Where's the Online Monetization Strategy for Balloon Boy? 
• Magazines, Newspapers, E-Readers And Device Fatigue 
• Hulu Is Starting to Show Itself the Money 
• Bloomberg's Acquisition of BusinessWeek Is Mostly Good News 
• The Atlantic's Great Idea About How to Use HP's MagCloud [Updated] 
• Nielsen Data Shows DVRs Are Great, and Awful, for Broadcast TV
• How Patient Will NBC Be About "The Jay Leno Show"? 
• Monday Morning Quarterbacking on the Closing of Gourmet 

Have a good weekend!

Some people have called this column "Spot on"; others "insulting" and "patronizing." You be the judge.
