Here’s some of the stuff I thought was interesting while stomping through the Internet on Dec. 2 from 8:35 am to 6:50 pm:

Even Gen X is aTwitter – TIME – My experience, too: "If you haven't heard of Twitter yet — or, if you're wondering, "Why would anyone ever want to Twitter?" — you're probably, well, not young."
Readership Institute: Get Smart About Your Readers – My experience as well! "Flash poll: Number out of 180 freshman journalism students with Twitter accounts – 0. Number out of 180 who have never even heard of Twitter – 180."
DVR commercial skipping: 50% or 97%? Depends on whom you ask – Are you buying this? "If you ask ABC, network execs will tell you that DVR-using homes actually see more total commercials than homes without the devices. According to one ABC exec, speaking recently at a television conference in New York that we attended, fewer people skip commercials than used to."
Social media 'offers opportunities for online news providers' – "As well as increasing page impressions, social media campaigns can also result in brand enhancement, outgoing NYTimes.com senior vice-president and general manager Vivian Schiller said."
Get Your Google Profile Tidied Up | chrisbrogan.com – ",,,Because that means my contact info and bio is on every review that someone *might* see every time they Google."

Tell me what you're thinking...
