Will, I’ve linked to MyWay for wire stories numerous times. I could have picked any of dozens of other sites carrying the same stories, but MyWay doesn’t have pop-ups and the stories won’t disappear behind a paid subscription firewall in a few weeks.
If it is a hoax, it’s a good one.
Uh…doesn’t this strike anyone else as “to good to be true”? Did you notice that the article url is actually “myway.com”? I’m waiting for Dr Jerz’s next entry – “Duke providing iPods was a hoax”.
Did they issue Walkmen when those were the rage? Please! This is pandering for tuition, plain and simple. (Sorry: I felt like being a curmudgeon today)
Now that’s access!!! And it reminds me that I need to do more with audio and video for some upcoming conferences
