Maybe I missed it - I miss a lot in life - but has "Hellonetwork" steaming media been discussed on this board?

hellonetwork.com

I came across them when a friend told me about KeenTV. He said he was unable to "see" the demo, even though there was no download required (and he already has RealPlayer). So, I began exploring and found that the "requirements" are more than his somewhat "older" computer can meet.

keentv.com

At my slow speed connection - 28.8 - of the demo, I wasn't sure whether I was watching "flash" or streaming. So, I went to the HelloNetwork site and found that it is Java based. The demo there was as good, if not better, than any I have seen on InexTV (streaming, not "flashing"). I couldn't figure out how to increase the size on their demo even though it says it can be done (and the KeenTV demo is larger).

Where do they fit into the picture - competition? Or, am I missing some key ingredient - as in difference - as to what they do?

Thanks Hal, funny thing, right after I posted that message I found "QuickTake.com" alive & well being streamed on iNEXTV. In particular, they are currently being streamed on Fashion: Body, Beauty, & Soul's "Flirtation, Skirtation segment. Surprisingly, there are two streaming ads on that segment, Blue American Express at the beginning and QuickTake.com in the middle of that segment.
