I'd say both, and it comes down to the live TV versus DVR personalities of each service. Should Facebook Show Everything? The issue of Facebook deciding what to show people in their Facebook news feed came up this week when Nick Bilton of the New York Times wrote about how over the past year, the engagement on his posts had dropped, despite his having gained a huge increase in Facebook followers. That echoed concerns from Star Trek alum and soc [...]

Federated Media Publishing's CEO, Deanna Brown, is stepping down to be replaced by the person she replaced herself -- chairman, founder and former CEO John Battelle. Brown joined FMP in 2009 to take the media company "to the next level." In a blog post, Battelle says Brown came to him earlier this year saying she wanted "to move on and do something smaller and more directly related to content creation." Though the two initially tried to think of a candidate to replace Brown, Battelle eventually decided to come back to full time work at the company he founded in 2005. Brown isn't yet talking [...]
