Re: GWL Gartner Curve

I think it may be an age thing. My kids (14-26) tend to browse the internet 
 looking at video for fun. They also read the major news sites, but they 
will  search for music/sports/anything else videos that someone mentions. And 
these  are not how-to. They came across this one which shows from the 
numbers,  that all sorts of video can gain an audience: (warning: you may need a 
stiff  drink to keep up with this one!)

And there is this little snippet from an ad meeting where People magazine  
had 18million page views from mobile devices alone (not desktops) in one  
month.

I cannot imagine wanting to read a magazine on a cell phone, but 18 million 
 somebodies do.

I was  wondering about that, too, because unless I'm looking for a 
video, I don't  usually watch them when I'm trying to catch up on 
news, which I prefer to  read.
