TechFlash Podcast: What's next for 'hyperlocal' online advertising
After talking about Windows XP's long goodbye, President Obama's brief visit with a Seattle tech company, and other news of the week, we chat with guest Mark Briggs, KING-TV's director of digital media -- who breaks the news of a local online advertising network to be announced by KING-TV and The Seattle Times next week in conjunction with community news sites and blogs across the region.
The conversation with Mark starts around 12:00. In the final segment we give the answer to last week's popular "Name That Tech Tune" trivia contest, and share an inside story from Microsoft's Steve Ball, the musician and engineer responsible for the sounds of Windows.
