Did you know?

I remember watching the elections between Obama and McCain and thinking it was a passing of the guard.  That Obama was digital and McCain was analog even if Obama did have a little analog in him.  You can say, it was an analog-to-digital conversion.  In the youtube video, Obama totally took advantage of digital media while McCain stuck to more traditional ways of running his campaign.  

Convergence is Inevitable.  Social networks are booming and a lot of material are in digital format.  There is a boxing podcast that I listen to called "The Boxing Truth."  Boxing is one of the oldest sports in America and today, it is not a very popular sport compared to others (baseball, basketball, football, hockey).  What they do is have a two-hour show every week on Sunday and then archive it for  listeners to download via itunes.  It's great to listen to when I'm on the bus.  It's very interactive too because they have callers call in world wide from America, Mexico, England and beyond.  If only boxing promoters would catch on, then I think the sport can be big again.http://www.theboxingtruth.com/listen.php?id=266
