Cartoonist Bob Eckstein Joins The Menu To Talk Freelancing, Microsoft/Yahoo & Palin

Today on the media- bistro.com Morning Media Menu podcast, hosts Jason Boog of GalleyCat and AgencySpy‘s Matt Van Hoven welcomed cartoonist Bob Eckstein, who recently wrote an essay/blog post on OpenSalon.com called “The Death of My Brilliant Career” about freelancing.

Jason, Matt and Bob discussed the day’s media headlines, including Microsoft and Yahoo’s deal, announced today, which gives the companies 28 percent of the search market. Can they take on search goliath Google by joining forces? “Nope, Google’s still going to win,” Matt said.
