I'm Drew Breunig and I obsess about technology, media, language, and culture. I live in New York, studied anthropology, and work in advertising technology.

These are reactions to things I feel are important.

bbook: mbyhoff: Q: If people on Twitter and Tumblr all agree that this is a horrible move by NBC, then why is NBC going ahead with it? A: Because octogenarians don’t use Twitter or Tumblr. Oh, it’s not just octogenarians… This is a great occasion to remember how small Twitter’s active userbase is compared to the population of television watching ‘mericans. Plus, I’d bet most of the people above mostly watch Conan with commercial-free Hulu clips embedded in blogs.
