Making the Buck without Making the Fuss

DigitalTonto has made a blog entry about 4 Unlikely Digital Heroes which is an interesting read (and I am not saying this just because our company is featured in it!). The post reviews 4 companies that are quietly making huge steps in digital, also giving credit to the 2010 ICMA Classified Media Innovation Award which Vaibmu Ltd. has created for the International Classified Media Association and which pays tribute to companies in the classified media space who are innovating. As we noted in a previous entry and in our report with all the finalists ideas and projects, a lot of great product and strategy development is coming from traditional print publishers in digital media worldwide.

If you have a few minutes, be sure to read his insight about Time Warner, Condé Nast and Naspers as well as the Polish analytics company Gemius.
