   Web Luddite No More: O'Brien Hits Internet   
   By Brian Stelter   
   http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/arts/television/07conan.html   
      
   Not much new here for the faithful, but the article describes Conan's   
   successful use of the Internet for PR via TeamCoco.com, Twitter, and   
   Facebook. (Guess he's not calling it the "InterWeb" anymore.)   
      
   News to me: He's using the domain TeamCoco.com because conanobrien.com is   
   owned by a squatter. Conan's people briefly considered doing a Web-only   
   show after his noncompete period ends this fall, but decided against it.   
   Aaron Bleyaert (former blogger on the NBC-hosted show site) will soon be   
   blogging on TeamCoco.
