Blogs promote the exchange of ideas. I've used this blog for several semesters to get students talking about media industry topics. Articles you read, post and comment about should deal with media programming topics, and this is a wide-open arena—programming developments, traditional and new distribution channels, technology developments, job and career matters, regulation (FCC?), program performance--including the new fall television season. I hope you’re beginning to get the picture.

Microsoft has been making some negotiations with TV networks in order to create an online pay-television system possibly trough the Xbox system. Microsoft plans to establish a monthly fee, The system will work similarly like other systems such as Google TV, and Netflix. Some of the difference will be off course the visual components that Xbox can offer, plus the new motion technologies where people can operate their TV with out having to use an actual remote controller, rather people will use their own hands help by the motion sensor the Xbox has.

Well it kind of seems like everyone is trying to expand their horizons by going to t.v. I think that it's starting to be overdone, and after a while they might not even be on people's minds unless they can offer something that the other company's can't when it comes to this little venture.
All aboard!!! No seriously, all aboard... it's great idea. There are some technology driven people out there that yearn for new technology to hit the scene everyday. However, when will we ever say ENOUGH. It's all a game for computer software and TV Networks, so the only way to keep an existence is to do what is already being done and expand off of that.
