ITEM ONE: EYEBEAM CONTAGEOUS MEDIA SHOWDOWN!
Announcing the world's first Contagious Media Showdown. Do you have what it takes to corral enough traffic to win the cash prizes? Can you make the next Dancing Baby, All Your Base, or Star Wars Kid and ride into the sunset with the bounty? This is your chance to prove you are the best in the West... In short, it's a formalization of the general phenomenon of lots of people making lots of silly stuff on the internet, some of which lots of other people see and enjoy.
ITEM TWO: LIZ WINSTEAD SAYS CBS SHOULD PODCAST!

We thought these numbers were legitimate to report because they are the first from a national sample to take a stab at defining the podcast-user universe.
OK, we're cool. Actually, "Stand By Your Data" sounds like a great title for a great twenty-first-century love-ballad. So does "Listen At The Gym". Consider this story in-development.
