    | some positive .tv news today was the first ever day in my life to be given the chance to sit down in front of two angel investors whom i initially approached for their ad dollars to go on one of my .tv sites i am developing......... ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-tv/510858-some-positive-tv-news.html instead they got back to me and wanted to buy into the business as they could clearly see from my screenshots i sent them, that a new type of internet is surfacing and they want to be part of the action now instead of being a one man show, i will be given a florida office with two fu.ll time staff to start off with, equity, a salary and a nice one off check to seal the deal as finster said, if we all spend our time developing one.tv, it will do more for the ext than anything else and there is always the chance of hitting the big time |

| And that is positive, roll up your sleeves and get to work type of news I am interested in reading and hopefully to be able to be sharing someday soon. Thanks for the needed and well-deserved breath of fresh air, Mills, we all needed that!  PS - Wanted to rep you but can't(the automatic program you know forbids me from doing it so I will put it here). |

| Lol, I remember back to the early days when Millers regged about 100 of the worst .tv's available and got completely slagged by the members. I was going to post a link to the posts but I can't find it - perhaps it was across several threads - my memory fails me.  Haven't times changed! Millers changed his strategy and look where he is now. Must admit Millers, I am very impressed by how your perseverence has paid off. All the best

| congrats james and cant wait to see the site... congrats on the 2 angels, that was a huge win and as some of you know, starting a business from ground floor is not easy and your own money, no steady checks in and its tough..not an easy task. glad to see investors taking an eye on .tv and good luck... regards, jeff

| James - Congratulations. Sticking to your convictions should be a lesson to all. Keep us informed as things develop. Sounds interesting. Naysayers and critics relegated to the cheap seats, once again.

As to your point I will respond by saying it is totally hypothetical because I would never had the enthusiasm, patience or idea for the site had it been anything other than a .tv in the first place.... ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=510858 Secondly - it is true that if i went to the investors with an idea to make money on any other extension, they would have gone for it - because thats what they do - make money - the difference here is the level of enthusiasm and them wanting to get as personally involved as time will allow them.......they had never heard of .tv, nor anything about web 2.0 and as O explained about the global appeal and branding power of the ext - they were hooked - I think alot of the reason they took a gamble is because they see the upside of the ext versus the downside..... to everyone else who decided not to dump their shit on this thread, thankyou so much for your kind words......we will now be bringing the web design team back from outsourcing to an in house team in the usa, and probably wont be live now till january as we are going all out to get the scale of the business right the first time, but of course i cant wait to show you guys the finished article once again thanks guys | ||||

| Congratulations. I'd much rather hear and see tvs being developed rather than sold. When surfing the web, I rarely ever encounter a developed tv. Got to be good for tv to have some real showcase sites to show their potential. |
