News of the Day 5/25/2009

A bit of a slow Monday, but it is Memorial day in the U.S.

Career:
How personal branding tops the mere 'having a resume' – A nice introduction, especially for folks relatively new to the job search.

Anime:

Funimation confirms one piece Japan/US Simulcast – Well an hours delay.  More of the usual anime-simulcast-internet integration we're pretty much used to.

Movies/TV/Hollywood:
Hollywood agents are feeling the axe – With internet media and self-promotion, are they even as important anymore?

Social Media:

Social Media is now a big thing for Broadway – Fast, cheap, and easy to promote.  This is an intersection of 'old and new' that bears watching for two reasons – as an interesting study of social media, and some interesting job opportunities for the social media-savvy.
