Hopefully we can condense our threads. I'm sure we're driving people nutz.

Monday should be the start of another stellar week. No matter what happens, it sure as heck won't be dull.

The signal test/pre-soft launch went very well. Reports were that they were tweaking the signal a lot to get it right. Volume and picture fluctuations. Which eventually came through loud and clear.

There were clips of the Wedding documentary (Produced by Frank) and a couple sitcoms, and even a choir. Someone said it had the quality of the WB. Straight people seemed to enjoy it.

They scrolled Network info across the bottom of the screen as they showed clips. Telling people to call their cable companies to request QTV. They even had some sort of makeshift commercial for the Network. Everyone seems excitied about the outcome. I know I am!

QTV has 90-some % of their programming ready to go. So, they may need a little help from their partners.

I KNOWWW!

How 'bout the thread started to complain about the threads. LOL

I figured if we had a new topic that could cover more than one small idea, it may encompass more and last a little longer.

At this point people don't know where to post, so maybe they just don't.

There is plenty of good DD in the other threads. Maybe we should consolidate a little? Or we could give a recap of the events last week/yesterday.

I really don't understand that. The other day people said it was at .02 late at night, but that had no effect on the opening bell. The only thing I DO notice when that occurs is that the stock goes up nicely the next day.

Can someone who really knows please explain this phenomenon?

.10 would be awesome, but definitely would NOT surprise me! .10 is inevitable! And soon to be a distant memory.

Same with MDDM and TIGR, but the rest on my watch list are dead as usual on a Sunday...You know you're a Streamer junky when you leave it on on Sunday just cuz it moves, lol.
Hope you're right in any case.

I'd check it again except I I'm sure it's a mistake, and number two, my Streamer sux! The applet takes forever to reload even on a fast connection, once you close it. I have to relaunch my browser to get it to load a second time. It's a joke and I wish they'd come up with something simpler. My experience, anyway. Cheers.

" TELEVISION
Gay-per-View
Why do media moguls think pink is so fab? It's simple: Gay and lesbian Americans command an estimated $475 billion in spending power, and advertisers want to reach them. In mid-May, Triangle Television Network plans to launch the first cable and satellite channel for gays and lesbians. Programming will initially be limited to a few sitcom reruns, documentaries, and movies (The Wizard of Oz, anyone?), but watch the competition; Bravo and Showtime have beefed up ratings with gay-friendly fare, and Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone has ordered MTV to accelerate plans for the launch of its own gay channel. "

WE BELIEVE STATEMENTS MADE HERE ARE FACTUAL AND DOCUMENTED.

THERE IS POTENTIAL, SPECULATION, HOPES AND DREAMS. THAT IS A GIVEN.

************************************
Survey: Gay Consumers Among The Earliest Technology Adopters
By Newswire Report
Thursday, July 17, 2003

Gay men and women are among the first to adopt new devices and online tools, making them an important demographic for online marketers. That's according to Forrester Research, Inc., which for the first time recently asked respondents to its annual Consumer Technographics Benchmark Study of 60,000 households to indicate their sexual orientation. "Gays Are The Technology Early Adopters You Want" includes data on device adoption and online behavior by gay men and women, as well as recommendations on how to best market to this influential group.

"Gay men and women are tech-savvy consumers who use the Internet and tech devices at significantly higher rates than their heterosexual counterparts for shopping, banking, entertainment, and community building," said Jed Kolko, principal analyst at Forrester. "Marketers need to take a close look at the consumer behavior of gay men and women to determine a strategy in targeting a group of consumers who have been consistently overlooked."

In addition to being wealthier and better educated, gay men and women are avid Internet users. Eighty percent of gay men and 76 percent of lesbians are online, compared with 70 percent of straight men and 69 percent of straight women. Gays are also one-third more likely to have broadband connections and have been online longer than heterosexuals. Twenty-nine percent of gay men and women have been online for more than seven years, versus 18% of heterosexuals.

Although any group of higher-income, more highly educated consumers will be earlier adopters of technology, significant differences in gays' technology behavior emerged after adjusting statistically for online tenure and demographic differences. Gay men, for example, are more likely to own portable MP3 players and browser-enabled phones, and they are more than two times likelier to own a personal video recorder (PVR) device like TiVo. Gay men and women also turn to the Internet in higher numbers for entertainment and community-building activities. The Internet makes it easier for gays to meet online without the pressures of losing one's anonymity and provides a link to the gay community through tools like text chat, instant messaging, and personal Web pages.

In an effort to reach gay consumers, Forrester recommends that marketers target gay audiences directly by advertising in gay publications and at gay events. Additionally, because gay men and women differ from heterosexuals in many of the same ways when it comes to consumer behavior, marketers can treat the gay market as a single audience. It may be best, however, to avoid asking consumers about their sexual orientation for direct marketing purposes. Twenty percent of respondents did not answer Forrester's sexual orientation question - for the time being, inquiring about consumers' sexuality may not be worth the effort and potential of alienating consumers. http://www.mediapost.com/dtls_dsp_news....sID=212572

Marketing to Reach the Gay & Lesbian Community
What is the Gay Market?
Gays and lesbians are sometimes elusive to quantify, but major advertisers have increasingly found that their efforts are well worth the investment to find them and for good reason. A recent study conducted by the Connecticut-based Greenfield Online, found that the average annual household income for gays and lesbians is $57,000. The New York-based Company, Spare Parts, Inc., which helps companies market to gays, estimates that the United States gay and lesbian population is between 15 million to 23 million. According to another study (Inter@ctive Week, August 30, 1999. Pg. 20.), the US gay community consists of over 19 million people with an estimated buying power of $800 billion. Worldwide, these figures are much larger.

Below is a benchmark that helps to bring this market more into focus, allowing us to compare it to other diversity niche communities in the US marketplace.

Market Population Buying Power Buying Power
Per Capita

Reaching The Gay Market:
Reaching the gay market effectively means creating advertising and other marketing communications specifically directed toward their consumer mindset. In the early '90s, it was sufficient to run mainstream advertising in a gay publication to capture the attention of the market. Today, with more marketers vying for the gay consumer dollar, the bar has been raised. Gay consumers now expect advertisers to address them for who they are, directly and openly. In focus groups nationally, gay men and lesbians express a definite preference for advertising that specifically reflects their mindset and sensibilities.

Rarely can gay marketing efforts rely on traditional advertising alone. Extending your reach among this audience requires understanding the community infrastructure available to access them. The result is often a sophisticated mix of advertising, direct marketing, community presence and Internet promotions. http://www.gaymarketexpress.com/

23 June 03: PR on 24 or 25 JUNE? Two callers reaching separate people at the company, and reporting on another board, are told there might be a PR tomorrow or Wednesday. Huge volume uptick today to over 97 million shares; price jump at end of day to close at $0.0002!

===> 21 June 03: IMPORTANT POSITIVE BREAKTHROUGH HAS APPARENTLY BEEN REACHED WITH TW IN ONLY LAST DAY OR TWO that will permit the release of considerably more information on the contractual relationship between TW and TTN. A PR may come out the week of 23 June that could reveal this relationship publicly for the first time. If so, the PR will likely also reveal fresh evidence of TW's attempts to get TTN launched at the first opportunity. This could finally mark the beginning of very exciting times for TTN (and for QBID Shareholders). Question:...Could news a couple of days ago proclaiming that same xxx marriages in Canada are now legal have anything to do with what is happening?

Travel industry excited about gay travel
April 1, 2004

- By JASON STRAZIUSO
PHILADELPHIA - The travel industry, already excited about the growing niche of gay tourism, hopes the recent surge in same-xxx marriage translates into a new travel segment: gay honeymoons.

In the wake of a handful of cities' granting marriage licenses to same-xxx couples, merchants catering to gay couples have seen a spike in business, as limousine services, photographers and vacation locations try to attract the dollars being spent by gay couples.

Gayweddings.com, an advertising portal for wedding resources and vacation getaways, has seen its number of advertisers increase fourfold since a November court ruling in Massachusetts that will allow gay couples to marry in mid-May.

"It's been a big boom," said K.C. David, president of the Web site, which has been online since 2000.

The travel industry is embracing the new segment nationwide, from Portland, Ore., where same-xxx couples can get a marriage license, to Pennsylvania, where couples are holding commitment ceremonies. Tour operators in several states have set up special rates for gay honeymooners.

The Bucks County Conference and Visitors Bureau in suburban Philadelphia had a booth at the Same xxx Wedding Expo held in New York last month, whose exhibitors included travel planners and hotels. Bucks County even has a dedicated gay Web site: www.gaybuckscounty.com.

"It's definitely a market that has a lot of potential for us," said Keith Toler, executive director of the Bucks County tourism bureau.

Gay marriage has provided "an economic boom" to Portland, Ore., as gay couples and their families fly in for weddings, said Joe D'Alessandro, president of the Portland Oregon Visitors Association.

"As this continues, people are planning receptions and much more formal weddings," he said. "As it matures, it becomes an even greater economic boost."

How same-xxx marriage might increase gay tourism was a hot topic last week at the fifth annual International Conference on Gay and Lesbian Tourism in West Hollywood, Calif., said conference attendee Jeff Guaracino, of the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp.

Regional tourism bureaus and companies like Delta Air Lines, American Airlines and Avis attended the convention to see how they can attract business from gay tourism, which Guaracino said is in its "infancy stage." He said gay honeymooners are a "a niche within a niche."

"Destinations are wrestling with this new market and new opportunity," he said.

Gay travelers spend $54 billion a year, according to an analysis by Community Marketing Inc., a firm that monitors gay tourism and which hosted last week's international gay and lesbian tourism seminar.

The gay travel market is particularly lucrative because gays tend to have more disposable income and a greater propensity for travel than non-gays, according to Community Marketing.

Philadelphia, which launched a gay campaign last fall using the slogan "Get your history straight, and your nightlife gay," is now producing a commercial targeting gays.

That commercial will be the first by a city to target a gay audience, said Mike Wilke, executive director of the Commercial Closet Association, a nonprofit group that tracks gay representation in ads.

The commercial - combined with an increase in gay print advertisements from places like Key West, Fla., and Provincetown, Mass., the last several years - shows that awareness and acceptance of gays has reached a "critical mass," Wilke said.

"It's interesting that (the commercial) is coming from Philadelphia, which most people don't consider the gayest place," Wilke said.

Avis, which had a local representative at the California convention last week, has been courting gay travelers for years, said spokesman Ted Deutsch.

"We see the gay and lesbian market as significant in size and very brand loyal," he said. "And we believe in serving as many customers as possible."

I understand the potential of why we would move and that this weekend streamer is not reality, but what I'm trying to get is who/what moves it over the weekend with no trading? Some nebbish-y guy with a zillion screens who monitiors news, then just randomly adjusts quotes based on his opinion? Aliens? I guess I'm just obtuse! Thanks to my new family. It's beautiful here in Phx today and I'm sure Vegas is the same!

I can't see how to do it. We've certainly had more than 12. I know they weren't all home threads, but I also wanted to get past thread 10 which would be an "X". I was afraid people might mistake that for an X-rated network. LOL
