Some color on the CBS Audience Network announcement

For some further color on the CBS announcement, of which my company, vSocial, is a part of, check out my blog on the topic at http://www.thenetworkgarden.com. In particular, there is a reference to an article I wrote called "Social Media: It's About Breadcrumbs and Conversations" that attempts to provide a thesis for how this trend plays out for enterprises, major brands and media players. Here is the URL to that article if you are interested in the topic: http://thenetworkgarden.com/weblog/2007/05/breadcrumbs_and.html Cheers, Mark Sigal vSocial - Say it with Video! www.vsocial.com
