Outcast Bought By Next Fifteen
Tom is on the case with news that Next Fifteen bought Outcast – and he beat PR Week to the news… This is a great move by Tim Dyson who continues to build out the most formidable group of communications consulting firms in the technology sector.

WSJ To launch weekend edition…
Another paper will thud onto my driveway on Saturday mornings… much to the despair of my wife who can’t fathom why I subscribe to four weekend papers as it is. According to the NYT:
Starting Sept. 17, The Journal will add a Saturday issue named Weekend Edition, with a new emphasis on softer features – entertainment, travel, sports, arts, books, real estate and, yes, recipes. The goal is to attract a more diverse base of advertising to pull The Journal out of its prolonged slump.
The Saturday paper, which will be delivered at no extra charge – at least initially – to subscribers, will have a more airy, more casual feel than its daily counterpart, but will still be instantly recognizable as The Wall Street Journal. – KATHARINE Q. SEELYE
