OTOTOTOT oy OTOTOTOT! 100, guess i'd better follow normal si etiquette and post ot on wgat posts. we are discussing tv and the internet and epg's and ipg's, and how to make money. somehow it all seems relevant to me. Wgat's hyperlink channel is what sets it apart from webtv and would allow me upon seeing an ad on tv for lets say ford's new excursion to click on a link right on the tv screen and go to fords website and then ultimately to a local dealers site to purchase. if so, my only other concern would be is this patent protected and does anyone else have something similar?? i am no attorney. but, i like the way the patent reads. i am not aware of anything else that is so detailed...if anyone is aware, i would hope they would post it. considering gmst has doubled in 2 months, this is kind of a slow thread lately. makes me believe not many folks really understand what is at play with gmst. that is good. unclewest wgat was up 7% on a huge down day...somebody understands it.
