And the Oscar Goes to ... 'The World Wide Web'

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!
