Who wants ITV?

RTL offers more than NTL for beleaguered ITV. Anyone else want to bid or is it only open to to companies whose initials fit the format ?TL.

Bids sort from ATL, BTL, CTL et al...

Reporting or science fiction

So what is happening at Reuters? First (mid-Oct) they create a virtual press bureau on on the Second Life virtual world (http://secondlife.reuters.com) and now this week they invest $7 million in social networking site Pluck

Tom Glocer, Chief Executive Officer, Reuters, said: “Reuters is all about innovation - new technologies, new audiences, and new ways of presenting the news. "

One view is that Reuters moves legitimise socia;l networks, virtual worlds and blogs as valid forms of todays media, or perhaps Reuters have just grown tired of the real world and decided to move into the sureal?</DIV>
