Thanks for all the humor, folks. We needed it. I'm going to try to paste my latest creation here. It's a tribute to the Q's successful soft launch. Let's see if it works...

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.

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.

[URL=http://www.bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/]http://www. bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/ . ===> 8 July 03: From an article at Gay.com ... The plan, first announced by Showtime/MTV in Nov 02, to launch an all-gay, 24-hour cable television channel by the Spring of 03 has been placed on hold indefinitely, allegedly due to the poor state of the economy. After launch, this appears to allow TTN to lay claim to the title "First 24/7 gay TV network in the U.S." ===> 7 July 03: (Revised): There is evidence now, via persons communicating with TW, of TTN trying to arrange a first wave of simultaneous separate PRs issued through multiple local TW marketing units from around the country. Since there would be logistical complexities in getting this to all play together, a few extra days of delay in getting the PRs out should not be unexpected. See also http://xxxxxxxx.lycos.com/mboard/boar...read=70048 . In the meantime, "Pay Per View" and rival "Direct TV" have fired a shot (of sorts) across TWC's (and TTN's) bow: http://www.amtdrt.inlumen.com/bin/story...bKbytu0otu ===> 4 July 03: At a time when the summer heat is still heading in the upward direction, it seems intriguing that TMM is suddenly reversing itself by switching back to regular-season hours! It was only a short time ago that the company announced that it had scaled back to reduced hours for the summer (not unusual for P.S. businesses during the hot months). Yet, today's updated after hour phone recording states that TMM's "new" summertime hours will be 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM starting next Monday, 7 July. ===> 2 July 03: Triangle Multi Media President and CEO Frank Olsen gives audio interview on "Wall Street Reporter." Highlights 10 year, multi-city deal for TV carriage via Time Warner Cable, potential for retail product spinoffs, as well as goal to be listed on an exchange by end of 2004: http://www.******************.com/linke...MEDIA.html ===> 1 July 03: June 20-26 article affirms that popular actor and producer-director Bob Poirier (AKA Bobby Roger) is coming back to help spearhead TTN launch: http://www.portlandphoenix.com/televisi...958184.asp ===> 30 June 03: Amazing 737 million shares traded today! Intraday high upticked to $0.0003. Next best chance for first round of PR's seems to be immediately after the upcoming 4th of July weekend. Meanwhile, check out today's AOL TW's "Opportunity Investment Fund" announcement. http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030630/305395_1.html .Could one of the upcoming PR's be similar to this but with Triangle's name in it? ===> 27 June 03: Now prominently posted on Triangle's web sites: ON QBID SITE: <><> "Qbid takes Pride in the announcement of TTN, inc., in which Qbid has a vested interest, concerning their relationship with Time Warner Cable. For further information please see TTN's website at http://www.triangletelevisionnetwork.com " ... and ON TTN SITE: <><> "TTN PROUDLY ANNOUNCES A 10 YEAR NATIONAL CONTRACT WITH TIME WARNER CABLE. Target Cities and Launch Dates are currently being reviewed and will be announced soon. Watch For Further Announcements." <><> In the meantime, just two days ago a U.S. Supreme Court decision was handed down that overthrew Texas' anti sodomy law that was being used to discriminate against gay couples. And just a few days before that, Canada legalized same xxx marriages. Certainly we are at a point in history where acceptance of gay rights is accelerating and is in the forefront of the news. Is the order and close timing of the above events a complete coincidence, or is there something more going on here? The scope and (arguably) almost urgent tone of TTN's post sure seems to be signaling the possiblity that TW has now abruptly entered a "get TTN on the air around the country without delay" mode. 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?

It would be nice if some people on here would just chill. Seems that the ones who are saying crap are people who haven't been posting on this thread very long. A few weeks back this board was a lot better, with positive talk, and also people helping eachother out. We don't need some of you new people on here, it's almost looking like RB. Go to RG and stick with your own kind.

There comes a time in a disgreement/argument that you have to just agree to disagree. I think this is that time. Each side wants something and neither has gotten it, nor will they get it. Everyone agree to a truce?

I heard the same from the same source I guess. IMO, they should, they need to get the word out aggresively and I think they will.

TO ONE AND ALL QBID HOLDERS: IT IS 6:00 PM CALIFORNIA TIME. I APOLOGIZE FOR LATENESS OF THE POST. I HAVE NOT EATEN TO 2 DAY'S DUE TO TRAVEL TIME AND MY EXCITEMENT OF MEETING WITH FRANK AND CREW. I HAD TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND REST A FEW MINUTES. YOU KNOW HOW STRONGLY I FEEL ABOUT THE COMPANY AND IMPORTANCE OF THE WORK THAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED AND WILL CONTINUE TO ACCOMPLISH. THEY ARE ALL SIMPLY WONDERFUL HUMAN BEINGS.
ALL I CAN SAY IS I HAVE HAD A FABULOUS DAY. I FEEL LIKE THE TRUE QUEEN OF QBID. OUR BOUNCING BABY Q IS GROWING AND EXPANDING AND HEALTHY. LOL
I ONLY GOT TO SPEAK WITH FRANK FOR A FEW MINUTES. HE, AS I HAS SAID BEFORE IS A VERY INTELLIGENT MAN. ALSO HE IS QUITE BUSY, I FELT PRIVILEGED IN EVEN HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
I FEEL HE AND HIS STAFF ARE HONEST AND SINCERE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN THEIR POWER TO LAUNCH QTV.
I, AS I SAID BEFORE I LEFT FOR CALIFORNIA, HAD NO EXPECTATIONS OF FINDING OUT ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THRU PR'S.
I AM VERY HEAVILY INVESTED IN THIS COMPANY AND AS A SHAREHOLDER I WANTED TO SEE IT FOR MYSELF. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID. THE OFFICE IS SMALL AND VERY, VERY BUSY. DURING MY CONVERSATION WITH FRANK HE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF THE OFFICE WITH MANY QUESTIONS AND MADE MANY APPOINTMENTS. WITH WHOM, I DO NOT KNOW.
I THANKED HIM FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET ME MEET WITH HIM AND VERIFY THE VALIDITY OF HIS COMPANY. HE THANKED ME FOR THE SUPPORT THAT I HAVE FOR THE Q AND I ASSURED HIM THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM AND HIS ENDEAVOR TO LAUNCH THE 1ST GAY/LESBIAN QTV NETWORK IN THE USA.
I HAVE NO MORE NEWS FOR YOU THAN I HAD THIS MORNING WHEN I LAST POSTED. WHAT I DO HAVE IS A VERY STRONG SENSE OF MY OWN JUDGMENT THAT QTV WILL LAUNCH. I BELIEVE IN FRANK AND HIS ABILITY TO LAUNCH THIS NETWORK.
AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE--I AM NO ONE SPECIAL--ANYONE ONE OF YOU COULD HAVE CAME CALIFORNIA, JUST AS I DID AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF THAT QTV IS REAL. A VIABLE COMPANY WITH THE DRIVE AND AMBITION TO SUCCEED IN LAUNCHING QTV.
QTV.--IMHO-- IS OFFERING US THE OPPORTUNITY AS THE SMALL INVESTOR, TO ACCOMPLISH FINANCIAL GOALS BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS.
QTV EXITS--IT IS A FRIENDLY WORKING OFFICE WITH A COMMON GOAL. LAUNCHING THE FIRST QAY/LESBIAN TV NETWORK IN THE UNITED STATES.
I BELIEVE THEY WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. I BELIEVE IN FRANK AND HIS CREW.
I BELIEVE WE WILL BE INFORMED THRU PR'S OF UPCOMING INFORMATION AS FRANK AND DEVANEY PR. FIRM FEEL THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO INFORM THE PUBLIC.
I AM GLAD I MADE THIS TRIP AND I AM GLAD THAT I MET A VERY HARD WORKING TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS EMBARKING UPON AND WORKING TOWARDS A COMMON GOAL. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL GIVE UP UNTIL THEY SUCCEED.
THAT IS MY OPINION. I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN QBID AND ADD TO MY HOLDING. I DO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO DAY/SWING TRADE THIS STOCK. I AM GOING TO HOLD ONTO WHAT I HAVE AND ADD TO IT WHEN I CAN WITH EARNING FROM MY OTHER TRADES.
THIS IS JUST MY SITUATION. EVERYONE ELSE MUST FIND AND BE COMFORTABLE WITH THEIR OWN TRADING TECHNIQUES.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF ME AND THE Q.
I AM EXHAUSTED AND WILL SEE YOU ALL IN THE MORNING HERE ON THE BOARD. HAVE A GREAT EVENING. REST ASSURED YOUR MONEY IS IN GOOD HAND WITH THE Q. IMHO
------------------ DIANA
PLEASE READE CAREFULY. THE DAY SHOULD BE GREAT. I AM PURSHASING MORE ON THE DIPS.
DAMAGE CONTROL--ALL IS WELL--FULL MOON AND THE NATIVES WERE RESTLESS. LOL FULL MOON WILL DO IT EVERYTIME.
SPENT THE DAY YESTERDEAY. CHECKING OUT THE Q AND OBSERVING OPERATIONS AND DEFENDING MY HONOR. LOL I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS NETWORK WILL LAUNCH.
THEY HAVE ALL THE DUCKS IN A ROW.
GREAT VISIT-- I AM IN SACRAMENTO NOW. THE QBID BABY IS VERY HEALTHY AND GROWING. I AM IMPRESSED WITH OPERATIONS.
I THINK THE NATIVES BECAME RESTLESS WHEN THEY WERE EXPECTING ME TO BRING BACK INFORMATION THAT THE STOCK WOULD FLY TO 1.00. WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
PR'S WILL BE ISSUED AS THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BROUGHT UP TO SPEED. I AM THE PUBLIC.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS , I WILL TRY AND ANSWER. TRUTHFULLY AND HONESTLY.
HAVE A GREAT TRADING DAY. IMHO THIS IS AN OPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME
