Google To Overtake ITV In 2008: Online Catching Up With TV

Live Diggnation (No, Really) In Amsterdam
At The Next Web Conference 2008 the cult podcast Diggnation will be doing its second Live show outside the USA, the first being in London at FOWA last year (just to clarify, by live I mean in front of an audience, as opposed to just from a sidewalk somewhere).
If you don’t know what Diggnation is, […]
