Some quick hits

Hadn't seen this unti lnow (behind as usual), but at The Times of London, David Rowan had a pretty funny look at the year in newspaper errors -- and maybe only the half-joking suggestion that the way to gain readers is to, well, make more hilarious errors.

At Ad Age, "Media Guy" Simon Dumenco lets out a cry of anguish that sounds a lot like that coming from others I talk to lately who are frustrated at the proliferating formats, costs and technical complexity of getting to their "new" media. With every other day seeming to mark a new "download" announcement, I suspect we'll be hearing more about this.
