When we used to write emails (and now that I think about it, when we currently write emails) we generally do not embed the URL of links that we want to share.

What I mean by embed is this, as opposed to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink

And I think it’s time that this becomes a part of the fabric of Twitter. With so few characters and concise posts that may want to link multiple places, sometimes even a bit.ly or two is way too much.

Maybe I’m missing something though, are there link-spam issues? Is there a compatibility problem with third-party apps?

Either way, I’m sure it can and will be done.

Today, in the first meeting of my Entertainment & Media Industries course, my professor asked, who are the new media moguls?

As we know, the old media moguls are on their way out.

I say it’s no longer the guys who run publications or have the money to buy them, it’s the people that develop and create the hardware and software that will change media. They know the future, they have the vision, they will shape the industry.

Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, etc…

But this time, they speak with their products and actions, not necessarily their words. Talk is cheap and people are starting to get that now, more than ever.
