First off, I’m loving the immediacy of Twitter, as my feed was the first place I saw the news about Discovery Communications acquiring Revision 3. I’ve been a long time viewer of the Rev3 original programming, particularly Diggnation (pour a little of your drink out) and the Totally Rad Show. My buddy, Pete Stringfellow and I even pitched a show at one point and got a great tour of the studios on the south side of San Francisco.

Even bigger news is LinkedIn bringing SlideShare into the fold. Talk about making LinkedIn the professional’s Facebook - this deal instantly skyrockets the amount of shareable and worthwhile content living within the world of LinkedIn.

Congrats to everyone involved. The buyers got the goods and the sellers deserve the rewards.
