Recently, I stopped by the new Whole Foods in Lincoln Park here in Chicago. Immediately after stepping into the massive space, I was impressed by its ability to stay and feel fresh, and more like a marketplace that you might see in another country.

Look around, and you’ll see that most of the stuff that’s out there is so irrelevant. I mean…it’s painstakingly obvious that we’re going to be adblind when [...]
Mark Sigal, blogging over at O’Reilly radar has an interesting post about the breakdown of analog media business models, as does Fred Wilson (A VC), and Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch. I thought I’d add my few cents to the discussion.
