Funny parody of Amazon's new Kindle DX (Video)

A nice parody of the current Kindle craze, via Mashable and Mike Ashworth.

"Amazon’s Kindle DX reading device launched this month, with a bigger screen and a much higher pricetag than the Kindle 2.0.

The device itself features a larger screen with more shades of gray for better display, a bigger hard drive (3.3GB) that can hold up to 3,500 books, and auto-rotation, so that users can read content in either portrait or landscape mode... What's next in store for the Kindle? Atom Films reckons it can only get bigger, skipping ahead to the “Kindle 9XXXD” in this parody video...."

Sponsored Conversations - yes, no, maybe? I have run across the sponsored conversations concept via Josh Bernoff and via Techdirt's Mike Masnick before (see Techdirt's sponsored conversation example here), and found it very interesting yet a little hard to align with a more 'seriously independent' blogging approach. I am not sure that I would personally want to engage in having my blog or my tweets sponsored by someone that wants to reach my readers or 'followers' (and yes... there have been offers), but I still like the concept and will investigate it further. It seems like there is a nice package to be made with good old Word of Mouth, web-native Word of Mouse, and Sponsored Conversation - or what do you think?

Emerging cultural practices are challenging TV and Radio broadcasters I am still riffing off my ABU talk from May 17/18 2009 (the phrase 'emerging cultural practices' itself is, of course, appropriated or shall we say PFA'd via Henry Jenkin's brilliant book "Convergence Culture") - here is a summary.
