9.18.09:: Sources are telling us the recession is receding (faster that Ben Bernanke&#8217;s hairline, in fact). So, let&#8217;s take stock. Print media is ailing, catfights about the promises social media continue and we have a few new search engines. Other than that, it&#8217;s the business of recession as usual.
