[Fwd: Re: [ProgSoc] Calling all savants]



How useful would this feature be:

You see an email you want to reply to. You click on reply. The email app notices that email headers state it's mailing list message. Up the top of your composer window is now another send button that says 'send to list'

I'm going to file this request for thunderbird.

The mass exodus is happening, but it's a mass exodus from *TV* as opposed to a mass exodus from *TV Shows*. I've been thinking about this a bit recently and I think it's important to make that distinction. Witness the mass downloading of Battlestar Galatica and the huge swarm numbers on OC torrents every time a new episode comes out (I saw the numbers on my friends computer ... ah who the fuck am I kidding. Bring on Summer.).


There is as much a demand for quality TV shows as there was before the internet. People have just realised there are better ways to distribute the content (DVD, online etc). As numerous people have pointed all over the interweb you would only need a few pennies from each viewer to make a show commercially viable because you have a lot more potential viewers: people from other countries, people who missed the show etc.

TV is going to beat Hollywood to the legal internet and the guy who starts the process is going to make a lot of coin.

end rant.
