Considering parent Viacom's classic opposition to all things web, TDS and CR seem to be doing a great job with integrating themselves with social media. Although, I think I agree with you, Jen, that Colbert has a better understanding of appropriating and commoditizing than Stewart, and that's reflected in their respective programs.

I think one of the many brilliant elements of "The Colbert Report" is his constant encouragement of a particpatory culture. It certainly places Colbert as a contemporary figure and in a way, even though it was born of a different time, makes "The Daily Show" seem outdated.
