Reax to ABC News' "restructuring"

My favorite quote about ABC’s plans to cut 25 percent of its news staff:

“When you do this, when you cut back on staff and start to cut down on your correspondent core, which is probably the next step in this, its like a marooned person trying to sustain himself by eating his own flesh.” (Former ABC correspondent Bob Zelnick in David Folkenflick’s NPR story, ABC News Announces Staff Cuts, Restructuring,

Netflix back after two-hour Friday night outage

Did Netflix spoil your fun when its Web site went down Friday evening, taking with it the “Watch Instantly” movie streaming on your computer or TV screen? Even if you weren’t cut off mid-stream watching “Being John Malcovich,” your friends might have tipped you off when they tweeted about this unfortunate event. TweetMeme shows Mashable’s story, “Netflix goes down,” as one of the hottest links on Twitter (with 636 tweets just after midnight Saturday). The Huffington Post also reported the news during the outage, but so far, online news organizations outside the social media haven’t appeared to pick up on this story.
