Associations and Unions: A Solution
A LOT of talk lately about associations and unions for new media types, how they are different, what such an organization would look like, etc. It was the topic of yesterdays hour long discussion on Mediasphere (via Blog Talk Radio) where myself, Jim Turner, Tris Hussey, Steven Fisher and Des Walsh discussed the idea in…
