Digital Media in the Commercial Sector

I’ve worked in the commercial sector for some years now. Priorities are often different from those in the funded arena (though perhaps increasingly less so).

So it was with great interest that Microsoft this week rolled out Bing Entertainment, a dedicated hub within Bing that hosts film clips and trailers, music videos, TV clips and games Bing Entertainment is only live in the US at the… Continue
