It looks like CBS gets it.
On a spree of acquisitions including LastFM and WallStrip, it looks like CBS is seriously in the game. I cant help but think Quincy Smith is hitting his stride inside CBS. His experience in the world of Silicon Valley VC and New Media financing with Allen and Co, has him well prepped to bring CBS [...]
