Unicorn Picks Akamai

4:45 PM -- Today on Contentinople:

• Unicorn Media has selected Akamai as its preferred provider of content delivery network services, which is no surprise when you consider that many others -- VMIX Media, Kit Digital, Ooyala, and Delve Networks -- have all done same recently... Until you remember that Unicorn's CEO, Bill Rinehart, was a founder of Akamai archrival Limelight.
  
  
• Contentinople publisher Scott Raynovich catches us up on what’s happening in media and media tech stocks and explains what these prices say about the market now.
  
  

And in today's News Bits, Twitter, Facebook, and other sites were crippled by a massive denial-of-service attack yesterday.
