		<description><![CDATA[Some quick observations on what’s going on in the general business environment in the consumer content and media space. First, in the content space, we see that Glam Media and Sugar Publishing have been/are going on acquisition sprees (examples 1 and 2), creating content verticals/blog networks (i.e., womens’ interests) that they are going to leverage [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=andreim.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5788&amp;post=18&amp;subd=andreim&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Music discovery services sprouted like mushrooms after a storm in 2006. Pandora, Last.fm, MOG, iLike, and a number of others are vying strong for consumers to use their services and/or be active users of their communities.
