Danny Sullivan's tweet: "steve brill who started clear is heading up that company to save newspapers. good luck with that"
Struck me as odd, because I don't think of him as "Steve Brill who started Clear," I think of him as "Steve Brill, founder of 'American Lawyer' " or "Steve Brill, founder of 'Brill's Content' " or "Steve Brill, who created Court TV," so the idea of him doing a publishing venture is not that surprising to me.
But then, Wikipedia seems to think that Brill is "best known as the founder of Verified Identity Pass, Inc." Reminds of when I overheard someone refer to Mikhail Baryshnikov as "that guy from 'Sex and the City.' "
