Vevo Bounces Back From a Rough Start With 20 Million Streams a Day [MediaMemo]
Friday, January 15th, 2010
Remember Vevo, the “Hulu for music video” service that launched with a lot of fanfare, then earned a ton of lousy press for an error-filled launch?

Steve Case and Jerry Levin: Look on Our Works, Ye Mighty and Despair (About the AOL-Time Warner Merger, That Is, a Decade Later) [BoomTown]
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
Since both former AOL CEO Steve Case and former Time Warner CEO Jerry Levin played such conflicting roles in my 2003 book– “There Must Be a Pony in Here Somewhere : The AOL-Time Warner Debacle and the Quest for a Digital Future”–it was odd to see the pair of them together on the same television set yesterday morning on CNBC. But there they were–both looking very fit, I might add–with Case as a guest co-host and Levin as his more peaceful self. They were there to jawbone about the disaster that was the AOL-Time Warner merger on the cable network, on the occasion of the deal’s 10th anniversary, since CNBC is airing a piece tomorrow night called “Marriage from Hell: The Breakup of AOL Time Warner.” Actually, that purple title underplays just how bad it got for the doomed union.

Maureen Sullivan: Ex-Googler Is Behind AOL’s New Brand
