In Business: A NewTube, and Top Model Goes Hi-Tech

YouTube? Fine, WeTube, too. According to the Wall Street Journal, News Corp's Fox, Viacom Inc., CBS Corp and NBC Universal are in a huddle about creating a website to compete with the favored Internet destination of procrastinating office workers everywhere. ABC's parent, the Walt Disney Co., is sitting out the discussions, preferring to rely on the strength of its own brands (or, as I like to put it, fall way behind very quickly).... CBS Interactive and Hong Kong-based Artificial Life, Inc., have teamed up to deliver the first avatar-based mobile game tied to a TV show, America's Next Top Model. Which means absofreakinglutely nothing to me. Tech heads? Help?
