Hello my friend

...........

But we also are really thinking longer term about positioning ourselves to be at the nexus of TV advertising, digital advertising in general, and content monetization through our custom video player



.......when I first read that sentence I thought for sure it would be used by a basher to claim that it was foreshadowing a disappointing 10K release after the markets closed today. I sure am glad they did not release the 10K at 4pm today and instead most likely prevented a non-stop negative posting marathon taking place this weekend. LOL

I was wondering when you were going to be able to tie in those Roku articles you have been posting about. Excellent job and it does make sense considering the Onescreen relationship with both Roku and ADTM. Who knows but I believe Onescreen will not exist as it will be part of ADTM and be that soon IMO.

This quote is very interesting: "I think we'll be the operating system on every TV that ships" I think it is exciting to imagine what a "tv" will look like in 6 years. Imagine the voice activated things we will be doing on a "tv"? But anyway getting back on track.....I'm not sure if ADTM has its sights on TV advertising as it's such a legacy form of advertising and ADTM isn't set-up for that....but with Onescreen and your posted articles I would not at all be surprised if we did try and to get a share of tv advertising. I just hope Shareef is conscience of the fact that sometimes trying to grow too fast into too many branches can cause dilution and debt that becomes impossible to get out of without that dreaded move that leaves people like you and I holding something we don't want to.

I have TWC and have been having massive issues. I'm on my 9th HD DVR box in the past few months. They have lots of legacy lines and just considering my issues they can't seem to figure anything out. Throw in Comcast taking over and it would not surprise me to see Roku going in a different direction sooner than you think. Who knows...Onescreen, Roku, ADTM, Comcast, TWC....there's a lot of possibilities to go with that still huge tv advertising dollar. Like I told TWC the other day, competition is at the point where I am no longer a prisoner of their monopoly despite living in what some say the "the woods" or "East Gish" but I share Harry Chapin's words and say it's "A Better Place To Be".

Bruins-Red Wings?????

Have a great weekend :)
