Oprah = Big $$

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend!

This feature article was interesting because it shows just how influential people can be. Oprah is the continuing trendsetter for those hoping to make a dollar or just gain exposure for themselves or their products. I'm sure you've all heard of things like Oprah's bookclub, a list of "I liked it, so read it,", or her magazine, O, which is basically a glossy version of "Here are things I like, so go buy it."

Although the article has a tech focus, maybe in the future she can put in a good word for print journalism and print books. Maybe print will make a comeback? I know, doubtful.
