Hey guys,

I've been skimming thru your stuff on YouTube as you try to get the network going - interesting so far - but it seems obvious that the obstacle to really getting things going is exposure; getting more people to know you exist.

Earlier this year, I picked up a little video box called WD TV Live Plus. It's a media player box that you hook up a portable hard drive, plug it into your TV and you can watch any video, audio or picture file on the HD on your TV. Well, it also has a network connection to access streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, Pandora and other stuff.

Now, while the box does have access to YouTube, the search function thru the box is a bit lacking. There is another service available for free thru the box called Flingo that might be something to look into.

Flingo provides access to all kinds of video clips from sites all over the internet without the hassle of having to navigate thru the provider's formal site. I don't know what would be involved, but you might want to investigate getting listed with them so that anyone with a WD TV box could find you. There are already a number of other "online networks" in there producing content for other markets.

Is it "ultimate expsoure"? No, but at this point, any additional exposure can only help.

I enjoy being able to call up Youtube from our Sony Blueray player. I make playlists using the computer and can then easily play them on the big screen using the Blueray. Whatever system is used, I agree having a convenient way to watch the internet station on TVs is a great idea.

I've been busy promoting my book. I had to do a 5 min. video and it took 45 mins to do. This is why I like working behind the camera. I rather just do a comercial and get it overwith.

I can believe it, Christine. I remember when I was trying to film book review sessions. I don't look forward to the promotion part of things when MedSci novel is released.

I think more exposure is like the area Rod is working on now. That has gotten a lot of people over his way and a lot of live people to his area when he needs it.
