Another of the sessions I attended and blogged about while at ad:tech Chicago was one on whether Millenials were distracted or connected due to their widely regarded ability to multi-task (see: bored). It was a great opportunity to listen to two of the sharpest minds in the business expound on how to actively engage and […]

Universal Music will try anything to throw a wrench into the well-oiled machine that’s the iTunes music store. They just announced a deal to sell DRM free tracks to 4 other online music stores.
