Friday Rewind: Tubefilter News of the Week – September 4, 2009

Labor Day weekend is here. Joy! (Now you know why we’ve been wearing our whites all week.) Despite its very American traditions—BBQs, boating, parades and football season kickoffs, this holiday is one we have the Canadians to thank. Yep, it was a printer’s strike in Toronto back in 1872 that started this whole Labor-loving end-of-summer trend. So go for it, hug a Canadian this weekend!

Web series news was steady this week, though a few places held off major show releases until after the Holiday. So count on Tuesday being full of  flurry of new goodies.

The week started with news that MSN is wising up the the social internet, and finally is allowing open embedding

of the new season of The Guild, which debuted on the network this week. Tech blogger Shira Lazar kicked off the new Stylit.TV giveaway web series TechStyle with plenty of geek gear from MacWorld.
