WoW! Once again, thanks to Vator.TV, no stone is left unturned. I try to keep up with Hollywood based Internet start-ups, but this one slipped through the cracks. A nice niche, it will be interesting to follow in the coming months to track the progress. The site looks fresh, and definitely carries a unique flow, but content, (good content) is king--so only time will tell its fate. It appears the domain was registered this summer, so it looks like they are moving fast! Nonetheless, with Ashton's hand in the mix, I'm sure it will be a success, one way or another. Goodluck Ashton, and David &, Goliath! NY

This is an amazing interview. The Internet landscape is rapidly shifting and the future is without question, local, local, local. You can not get "to deep" into a locale. I foresee several mini-media companies who own and operate within local regions/cities/states via Live Broadcasting, social networking and Vlogs. (competitively focused around dot TV). In today's world, tech advances, cost efficient development, broadband, etc makes it a reality for a small organization to compete directly with a local NBC/ABC/FOX/CBS affiliate. Until now, this wasn't even a possibility, which basically means (in my opinion), the next 48 months is going to be very, very interesting and exciting for everyone involved. uStream.TV and Mogulus.com are prime examples of the "next generation" of news content delivery. It's no surprise Microsoft wants to acquire uStream.TV, as they will instantly be "players" in the Live Broadcasting/Social Networking "local" space. (future of media). (reports say they declined $50 million) Everything is Local. (google, yahoo, msn, Marchex, etc.,) 80% of every dollar earned and spent by nearly every person on the planet earth is done so within 20 miles of their home or business. This is why the GEO domain name industry is on fire right now and many people/investors/developers want to be part of it... Remember, everything online starts with a Domain Name... This is exactly why generic GEO domains as in "Jacksonville.TV, Indiana.TV, MaconNews.TV, etc.," are simply priceless. These domains are the most valuable property in the world, and when developed, the sky is limit. The truth is the dot com counterparts are generating anywhere from $xxx,xxx - $30 million dollars a year, MyrtleBeach.com, $2 million in revenue, Jacksonville.com $x-xx millions PER YEAR. There is a reason for this... People not only identify with "local", but the generic form, is searched around the world for a variety of reasons. Although their are several alternatives, (DiscoverJacksonville, GoJacksonville, VisitJacksonville, TravelJacksonville, JacksonvilleTravel, iJacksonville, eJacksonville, myJacksonville, ChannelJacksonville, etc...) their are only (2) generics. 1) Jacksonville.TV and JackonvilleFlorida.TV. ...They *are "THE" brand. Why would anyone build a business on an alternative just to lose traffic, credibility and work twice as hard during the sales process/pitch? "Hello, my name is John Doe, I'm here to talk with you about "DiscoverJacksonville.TV. OR. "Hello, my name is John Doe, I'm here to talk with you about our company, Jacksonville.TV! (instant branding, credibility etc.,) The value? If you look at the data-mining below, you will see why generic GEO domains, and generic GEO "news" domains are so powerful, and why BILLION dollar media companies can't get enough of them.

Meliza!
The "lack of vision" comment was directed toward another member and I *certainly apologize for the miscommunication! I am no genius either Meliza, just passionate and ambitious, and sometimes that gets the better of me.
;)
More coming later. Thanks for understanding.
