Thanks guys, Yesterday somebody here or on Yahoo posted the link to the LA times article so I naturally followed it.
I found that the Google news pr had just barely hit the web and that the LA times article had only been just pasted up.
When I read the article the first thing that came to mind was that Google was getting all the thunder and the author was ignoring alternative sources.
I did a quick Google search for "Google TV" and found that several other publications and web blogs had very recently posted similar articles.
Google web search listed a handful of sources that were less than 30 minutes old.
I quickly filled in the comment box at the LA Times and fired it off (notice the lack of spell checking) and then went back tot he Google search results and attempted to past a similar comment in several other spots on the web.
My plan was to try and hit this while the news stories were fresh.
The comment box at the LA times only allowed for 1000 words and what I had penned was some 200 words long so a little trimming was needed.
I felt that is was important to get in a word or 2 about the stock itself as this could bring some added players into our stock.
I was not really sure how I was going to segway into the 'stock' side of the GoTVco thing but I knew that it was very important to include both the correct and actual registered trademark of GoTVco as well as the parent company of ANTP.
Basically I just continued to highlight some of the things that you could do using your the set top box and one of the things that can be done is that you can surf the web as well as check out the stock quotes on web sites like Google Finance
etc.
So I made my segway from GoTVco into surfing the net and checking your stock portfolio and just happened to throw in a "by the way' kinda statement and mention that for potential investors, the Parent company of GoTVco, ANTP could present the chance for a nice little finacial reward.
Throughtout my comment, I made sure to mention the full and proper name of the company and that is GoTVco as opposed to GoTV.
Squeezing in a blurb about investing in ATNP was just icing on the cake in the 1000 words that the LA Times so graciously gave me to 'lay it on the line'.
Interestingly, some of the other articles that I unearthed regarding the Google TV announcement contained criticism about Google TV, The ulterior motive of pushing adverts on us as a suscriber as well as articles that were critical regarding Googles huge web presense and the all knowing, long lasting, never forgetful hard drives that record and hold all our emails, demographics and surfing habits.
Personnely, I have known about the Google TV thing for several weeks and I specifically knew that Google was going to make an official announcement to the press on wed or thursday this week.
I choose to keep my mouth shut as I at first thought that this would have a negative impact on the stock as well as I didn't want to be the one pointing a finger at the Big giant and how it will over shadow our stock.
I have since realized that the article in the LA Times just gave us all a perfect podium to shout out both the GoTVco trademark as well as the ANTP stock and parent company.
Getting a few comments posted while the article(s) were still hot was my utmost concern as we really need to ride in Googles wake for as long as we can.
-If Google can supply the large print articles and press releases we would do well to make sure that we are on Googles doorstep and waving our flag when Google allows us to get our name in the spot light by kindly issuing prs to the newspapers and tech websites which allow room for commenting.
As someone posted yesterday, this is good news for ANTP as not everyone will want to use Google TV especially if Google throws a bunch of adverts up at us (and they ARE planning on it).
Shadowing Googles pr inadvertently gives us a podium that would otherwise be non existent to a small up start like GoTVco.
If anyone finds similiar web based articles and wishes to copy/paste parts or all of my comment please go ahead and do so.

I was able to re copy and paste that comment into a small/handful of web pages on the net (yesterday) only minutes after many of the web articles were published.
And I did it using Googles search engine (take that google) which handily found me the newest articles and blurbs that were pasted up so very shortly after Google (TV) made the PR..
Cheers guys, Cheers to the investors at Ihub, Yahoo and Google Finance...
We have a good product here, one that is several steps ahead of the giant Goliath and one that isn't here to sell us more ads over and above wnating to be our next internet and TV provider.
Oh, and did I mention the Go V video Phone?
;)
comment as posted on several sites yesterday in response to Google pr announcement regarding GoogleTV:
----------
There already is internet thru TV providers out there including the highest rated and most versatile, GoTVco.
If you want to save money and tell cable companies like comcast to kiss your hat, you already have a choice and the choice is not the poorly supported and restrictive design that is and will be Google TV.

The thing I like about GoTVco is that unlike the upcoming Google TV, you aren't spammed or targeted with intrusive advertising which is what Google tv is aiming at doing.
For Google, it's all about feeding you more advertising thru their rather restrictive Google TV interface.
For GoTVco, it's all about giving you internet and regular broadcast/cable TV without any extra intrusive advertising.
Oh, and GoTVco is currently on the verge of introducing the Go V Phone which will allow you to video chat with others either with your Go V Phone or thru your TV set at home.
The cost of all this technology is far cheaper than cable TV and/or local and long distance Telephone.
So you will save $$ on your cable bill as well as save money on long distance all the while being able to surf the internet and regular TV channels via your TV screen.
For people that are not computer literate, you will not need a computer to access an email account.
Thru the GoTVco set top box you can send and receive emails from any pre-existing email account, you can set up and view Twitter and Facebook accounts as well as watch youtube videos as well as watch all the regular network TV channels while receiving telephone calls from and phone number anywhere in the world.
The alternate to Cable, Internet and Telephone is all in one set top box from GoTVco.
Oh, and if you are a stock market investor you can access that information thru the set top box and/or you could invest in the company itself as GoTVco is listed on the stock market under the Ticker ATNP.
With GoTVco already signing up subscribers, buying shares in ATNP could be a great financial stepping stone for market investors.
I am both a subscriber and an investor in ATNP / GoTVco.
I am not associated with the company other than being a subscriber and an investor in the company.
