Hats off to all those who watched the Oscars via Oscar.com and pushed the trend of television watching through the internet out into the forefront. More Oscar watchers “logged-on” instead of “turning-on” to view the 79th Annual Oscar Awards show.
To think, there were nay-sayers who said the Internet was just a passing fad and wouldn’t last (they all probably own BETA video recorders too). The Internet is here to stay my friends and changing the way we consume media.
I personally like my media in great-big de.licio.us heaping-spoonfuls with 8 essential vitamins and extra widgets!
