Now that you've watched "Motherlover"... Congratulations to all!

What a special day it will be when YouTube makes its first penny of profit for Google. Like a Quinceañera.

The Download - Week of 050409
This post marks the beginning of the Interactive Media Peer Group's weekly links to the biggest headlines in Interactive Media. IMPG Governors Marcelino Ford-Livene and Geoff Katz would like to introduce IMPG member, blogger, hacker Paul Gulyas. Until recently, Paul was a marketing strategist and a creative for HBO Lab for the past two years and is now a freelancing writer/producer who has lots of time to keep up on interactive media. Please, feel free to make suggestions during the week by e-mailing articles (or video, because who really reads these days) to paulgulyas@gmail.com. That way, if we miss something huge, we can partially blame you! Enjoy and have a great week!
