Idle Chatter: Huffpo, Michael Phelps, 'JPG,' more

-The futureheads in the electronics business say 3-D is going to be the next big thing in television. Just imagine watching Kath & Kim in three dimensions. Mind-blowing. [WSJ]

-For people who work in book publishing, Town Cars, off-sites and lunch at the Four Seasons are out; Metrocards, webcam conferences and pizza are in. [NYT]

-JPG, a photography magazine with an innovative user-generated content model, is shutting down. Or maybe not, with an eleventh-hour deal still reportedly in the works. [Folio, TechCrunch]

-Simon Dumenco considers the Huffington Post's supposed valuation of $200 million: "[A]nybody with basic math skills and a halfway-decent bullshit detector knew the figure was nonsense, even before the economy melted down." [Ad Age]

-Another endorsement deal for Michael Phelps, the fastest man in a Speedo: He'll be the face of Mazda in China. [Bloomberg]
