This is BIG, tv'ers.

OWN.tv is no redirect, either.

I still see own.tv redirecting to: Welcome to OWN - OWN TV

Yes it's redirecting to oprah.com/own. Can someone show me anywhere on the site where you see own.tv? I guess it will be interesting to see if this is advertised as own.tv or oprah.com/own because that will make all the difference!

Yeah, root directory still redirecting to oprah.com.
I'm sorry if i got us tv'ers excited prematurely.
Hard to say what's going on here.

The OP link for "careers" is all based on the own.tv

I don't think it really matters all that much.

The overall brand is clearly OWN and not OWN.TV; however, I assume they will use .TV as the TV based site.

I don't think any of this has a direct affect on .TV - with one major exception. As people see things with SOMENAME TV - they will become familiar with that format. I think this is POSITIVE for .TV in the long run IF there is more corresponding use of the domain.

Flo.TV was great. I hope that one day they re-use because I prefer it to Flotv.com. I think .TV has a very powerful branding potential - more than a .com (I didn't say value, I said branding potential).

I understand why they didn't - I don't rule them out from using it in the future.

That said, I'm definitely seeing more XXXXTV names around and about. I'm also seeing more XXXXTV.com. What's amazing to me is the serious numbers of people that have channels on Justin.TV / YouTube as XXXXTV that don't hold the .TV domain.

I think sooner or later there will be a need to brand themselves OUTSIDE of Youtube and Justin.

As a simple example, I wouldlove to see Ochocinco.TV be used.

Ramble ramble ramble...

More .tv bird spotting,

Type in oprah network into google and the url given is

http://www.oprah.com/own

As stated earlier even own.tv redirects to that and pretty much everything on the site runs of that url. Ok, one link, the jobs section uses a .tv. That probably means they'll use the .tv for internal email addresses etc.

So for those who think Oprah is "gonna" use .tv it might be better to look at what she "is" using.

own.com is parked, she should go after this domain as well if they are really branding OWN!
:bah:

There is something call : Price competency and ROI. I think Oprah does see OWN.TV as more wise choice than OWN.COM.

This doesn't mean OWN.COM is not a good choice.....only there is an alternative for cheaper price and great branding too.

IMO

They aren't branding with own.tv. The brand is "own" and the url is oprah.com/own.

We know nothing about own.com

-Whether they could even care since they are using the oprah.com domain
-Whether they tried to buy own.com but couldn't or couldn't justify the cost in comparison to just using oprah.com.

So there is no point say they chose own.tv over own.com when the url is on oprah.com.

So why wud they hardcoded on the header nav "http://www.own.tv" on both sites/templates (oprah.com and oprah.com/own) ?
Why didnt they jst put "www.oprah.com/own" instead if the .tv wudnt be use?

It wud more make sense to say that the /own is the temporary one.

Who cares why, they aren't using the url other than on an employment link.

It does appear that Don Quixote has a problem with the trees...it appears that it is impossible to see the forest because they block the view!

Professor Snoop also grades our King's English on a consistent basis. Maybe he could learn us how to post so he don't have to reach for the dictionary every few syllables...

Snoop is Wrong Again!!! And he is very angry about it. Poor Snoopie:((

Snoopie too concerned about spelling and grammar. Your a sore loser, a never been, not even a has been. The .TV ship is coming in Snoop and you have missed out!!! We were willing to help but we can't help losers.

Methinks i detect a certain degree of agitation in Snoop's tone. The kind of agitation that might arise when one's arguments against dot tv start turning to sand. But like i said before, Snoop had a valuable role to play in this debate. He helped keep a lot of us from premature elation over all things dot tv; but now that elation is justified.
