Magnates-cum-Moguls Go Digital

Now Mark Cuban is joining Philip Anschutz on the digital bandwagon. And, speaking of Anschutz, The Atlantic Monthly has picked him up on their radar only a month after me:

Out of money and facing ruin, Anschutz came up with an inspired solution. Universal Studios was just then filming a John Wayne vehicle based on the life of Red Adair, the famous oil-fire fighter, and Anschutz quickly talked the studio into paying him $100,000 for the privilege of filming Adair putting out his oil-field fire. The footage went into the movie, and Anschutz's investment was saved.

In contrast to the reclusive Anschutz, Mark Cuban has a blog: Blog Maverick (after the sports team he owns).
