– [Diversified Media Companies – Year To Date Price Breakouts](https://web.archive.org/web/20100930091745/http://mediastockblog.com/article/9274) (a chart which shows most media stocks struggling – News Corp is one of the few above the line though…)

– [WebOS market review](https://web.archive.org/web/20100930091745/http://blogs.zdnet.com/web2explorer/?p=166) (Over at ZDNet I take a look at the still nascent WebOS space, which is one thing Google hasn’t entered…yet)

– [ProgrammableWeb 2.0 goes live](https://web.archive.org/web/20100930091745/http://blog.programmableweb.com/?p=296) (one of my fave tech resources, John Musser’s mashups site gets a facelift — looks great and I love the new stats features!)
