With all the recent chat about monetizing all these new-ish sites that are currently bleeding cash, there's an interesting piece on The Business Insider about how iPhone apps and Kindle sales are WAY bigger than even YouTube, even though YouTube has many.

I used to do contract work through Aquent, but since I found a different job outside of their agency a few years ago, I find that I no longer understand how Aquent operates today. From their website, I get the impression that they dissolved all of their offices and staff and freelanced their agents. Not particularly comforting that the agent ... Read Moresupposed to help connect me to work would also be looking for work, so I've never bothered looking into continuing a relationship with Aquent. Sounds like my concerns are right, per Frances and Joseph comments.
