Is Masters Online Coverage Feeling the Pressure?
Don't know if this is a widespread thing or if it's only affecting me but I would have to say that through 2 and a half rounds the online coverage of the Masters this year is playing about as well as Tiger Woods. Meaning that when it's on, the online coverage is world class. But so far this year like el Tigre there's been a lot of bad to go with the good. The problem I am seeing most is just Read More>>

The hastag is apparently part of a bigger effort to promote MLB’s MLB.TV according to a number of sources, which all seem to lead back to Mashable.

New Jim Rome Show on CBS: Perfect for Embedding
After watching the debut of Jim Rome's new TV show on CBSSports.net I made the comment that the structure of the show seemed perfect for Internet viewing -- it was several short-form segments that seemed tailor made for sharing and embedding. And since Rome is already a king of social media it was my further guess that CBS would quickly make Rome's stuff available to any Internet site that wanted Read More>>
