I subscribe to InteractiveTV Today, which focuses on news and information about interactive multi-platform television.  Brian David Johnson, an Intel Futurist, is the author of the Jet Set column in ITVT.  His most recent article provides a good overview of Intel's Developer Forum (IDF) in his article, Get Your Geek On.  


In my opinion, the best part of the article were Johnson's links to his new book, Screen Future: The Future of Entertainment, Computing, and the Devices We Love, and a video interview of key players in the world of the future of interactive television/media.
