Layoffs on the dotcom side at CBS, is this a sign that Les Moonves did in fact bite off to much at once

CBS Interactive, the dotcom arm of CBS Corporation will show about 20 or so people the door. Our friends in our heads at Fishbowlny received an email from CBS Interactive’s Dana McClintock who spun the killings in a positive way, at least for CBS Interactive. But we have to ask, with all those acquisitions CBS made in the past year or so, were they impulse buys or is their a real plan for the properties? Like Wallstrip.com for example? Did Les grab it because he saw dollar signs or did he grab it for the buzz factor? Anyway here McClintock's email:

''Along with the core success of CBSsports.com, new online sites from Last.fm to Dotspotter have infused invaluable DNA into the division, and are actively translating their experience in community-building to all of the Company's properties and content. In the coming year, we intend to build on our success by expanding on that strategy of building communities online. Part of achieving this goal is reorganizing the way we do business to align the division's workforce with our new vision, including increasing our operations in the Bay Area -- the heart of so much of this activity. We're confident that CBS Interactive's focus on consumer involvement will help the Division experience another record year of growth in '08 and beyond.''

Growth in terms of what?
