Weekend? Weekend? I have not heard of this thing you speak of, Weekend. But I do have your morning reboot:
- Internet analysts ComScore released a study today that finds more than 14 of the top 25 U.S. web properties draw more traffic from outside the US than within. There's a fair amount of buzz about this this morning, but I don't follow. Given that the vast majority of the world's population lives outside the U.S. this seems like a fairly obvious statistic.
- Walt Disney Co. announced yesterday that it has sold 500,000 films through its fledgling distribution deal with the iTunes Music Store. Total revenue for the sales is around $4 million, not bad for the first two months.
- The W3C has proposed a standard for online widgets. The W3C definition of widgets includes “clocks, stock tickers, news casters, games and weather forecasters.” The W3C proposal is currently in draft status and looking for comments. [via MicroPersuasion]
- FCC commissioner Mjchael J. Copps wrote an op/ed piece in the Washington Post yesterday calling the U.S a laggard in broadband internet access. Anyone living in rural America could have told you that. No word on the possible connection between this and point number one in today's reboot. Ars Technica has some suggestions for the FCC.
