this is going to be the trend! after working in tv/film for many years, watch the dinosaur die slowly that is the financing of yore! :) networks are too top heavy and owned by too many parent companies. they can no longer be nimble and greenlight something 'new & different' (oooooo ...tooo scarrrreeeeeyyyy) ... it takes too long for a good idea pitch, to wind it's way up the corporate food chain in entertainment. bravo tesco.
anyone want to finance our iget2 brand? (infotainment)
comedy, info & stories???
flagship site:
http://iget2work.com
HAHAHAHA. love that. this is actually quite smart. i always thought that tv shows could probably do the same thing. (the Flinstones BBQ Joint?" anyone)
why only in other countries, i wonder? We have a restaurant called 'residuals' in los angeles, where you can bring in your residual check (no matter how small) and get a free drink. slightly different, but a fun concept.
i'd like to start the iget2work bar where folks can bring in their unemployment check and get free appetizers!
meanwhile, this is free and has laughs and info: http://igetwork.com
This is fantastic news about Stephen Clark. I'm going to tell you a story about a CNN reporter. :)
I recently was watching Ali Velshi's newscast and noticed he was reporting something about unemployment. Since my site, http://iget2work.com deals with tracking unemployed people, providing info, humor and stories about unemployment, i started by responding twice to an unemployment question he posed on his twitter account. In 24 hours, he didn't respond & I believe only about 2 people responded to his question. So there wasn't much activity or energy going TWO WAYS there! It all seemed rather ONE WAY.
I dm'd a few of my loyal, wonderful followers (i have around 28k followers) to tweet Ali about iGet2Work. They did. All in their own words with great support. Mr. Velshi thought it was spam and for the first time responded to us! However, he responded in what one follower called a 'nasty gram'.
This apparently inflamed some more of my follwers and people (unprodded by me) stepped up and, in effect, tried to school him about what twitter is. It seems that his attitude has changed a little bit about what twitter might be for him. He only has around 12k followers vs. about half a million for anderson cooper. Maybe someone will show him this article and he will absorb the many ways that newscasters are LOVING using twitter~!
Techdirt has not posted any stories submitted by iget2.
