The Pogue class sounds potentially awesome …
Columbia, in New York, offers four Internet marketing courses. Two of them, “Social Media,” taught by Rachel Sterne, chief executive officer of GroundReport.com, a global citizen news platform, and “Media and Technology,” taught by New York Times technology columnist David Pogue, will be offered for the first time next spring, according to professor Rajeev Kohli, chair of the Columbia marketing division.

Seeing Inception is good for the future of Hollywood -
Nicely summed up: “I think everybody is looking to this movie as proof of concept that new franchises can succeed and you don’t just have to re-tread old material.” — Stephen Prough, Salem Partners
Also, Iron Man 2 was not good.

“The AR Drone has a pair of cameras to relay video to iPhones or iPads, which function as the remote control. The device also recognizes certain objects, such as other AR Drones, and can add graphics to the video feed, creating a videogame played out in the real world.”

Congratulations Mark! Look forward to seeing you build lots of bridges between media entities and Tumblr (and maybe other platforms, too).
After spending the last year showing us the unique role Tumblr can play in connecting journalists and readers, we are so proud to have Mark joining our team. He is truly one of the clearest and most creative thinkers around Tumblr. I don’t think we can sum up our excitement better than he has:
Always lead with the news: I’ve decided to leave my position at Newsweek and accept a job at Tumblr. Though this is cliche, it is indeed true that this has been a difficult decision for me. I have been and continue to be a loud and persistent defender of Newsweek, and this is not (mostly, anyway!) simply because they sign my checks; I very much believe in the people and publication, and think they’ll be doing really great work for many years to come.
But this decision isn’t about the future of Newsweek; it’s about the future of Tumblr, and what I believe is a really interesting and great opportunity to help shape and grow a community, and to guide publishers into a new and better way of connecting with their readers. One of the reasons I’ve long been interested in online journalism is in the ways it can be, in a way no other medium can, a two-way communication between writer and reader; Tumblr is one of the best ways I’ve seen to accomplish that.
My new job, basically, will be to take the lessons I’ve learned at Newsweek and bring them to other media outlets. The mission is to show how this platform can be key to connecting journalists and readers, making the process more engaging and conversational. The approach will be the same that I’ve taken in creating the Newsweek Tumblr: That the most important thing for any publisher is to first be a full, participating member of the community, and that the main focus should be on meeting the needs of that community, not self-promotion.
And it’s that community to which I owe a tremendous debt. I’m so thankful for every one of Newsweek’s Tumblr followers. To Justine, an early champion and reader of Newsweek’s Tumblr that I have never properly thanked—your encouragement really meant something to me. To Meaghan, who emailed me the same day I started the Newsweek Tumblr with offers of help (and our beautiful theme, from Peter); to David, who has been smart and great; to John, who made this all happen; thank you all, and I’m ready to get to work.
See you next week!
