As anyone who reads here regularly knows, Automatic Media is the parent of Feed, Suck, and Plastic. Someone pointed to today’s Hit & Run at MeFi as well, where I found the following prescient (or foreshadowing) quote: But – and this is a lesson that’s bound to sink into our tiny little heads at some point – content is hard, time is valuable and neither love nor money can make the Web matter more than a good night’s sleep.
