In my opinion it's a trend that will affect all areas of mass communications. Just look at the success of local papers over national papers in the past 10 years. I, however, have to completely disagree with the convergence of web content and television. It's not that I don't think now is the time, I don't think there will ever be a time. Online content is not going to converge with television content, it is going to continue to define itself and become it's own medium. Look at the journalism arena to see what I'm talking about. "Newsok.com" is a convergence of the "Oklahoman" and News 9 but neither content provider has converged or changed that much. Online content will continue to become more main stream in our living rooms but I don't think it will converge with or become television content soon, if ever.

It was awesome! Definitely the best Texas BBQ I have ever had. You don't have to worry about Austin staying weird...it has a long way to go before it returns to normal :) It's been great.
