      Publishers making snowfall-style-tech is sexy. Publishers innovating advertising is not. niemanlab.org/?s=advertising&post_type=post This is a *very* bad thing.

      Every publisher I've ever worked w/, I try to talk tech w/sales. They're always open & interested in it. They should be partners, often not.
