My 5 minute review... I could be missing some stuff here but after downloading and installing etc and playing for 5 minutes here is what I got. The reason they can support it is because, they just make use of API's already available for a wide range of services and centralize them into one page similar to a google homepage using some AJAX. You still need a TV Tuner card to watch TV, the music aspect is interesting, you can provide a link to a friend and have them stream your songs. The website/program just centralizes this information in a format that is appealing but doesn't really create much overhead for them to dish out. Centralizing these items is what makes this cool, I don't believe it's creating more traffic than a normal website visitor except that dispersed between users playing songs from other users computers which doesn't cost them anything anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:232238 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
