As you know, the Missouri-Purdue basketball game is on ESPN360 tomorrow. ESPN360 is ESPN's online tv station. Within this glorious environment, you get to watch video on your computer. Sound futuristic? No, it sounds like another crappy idea from the 90s.
But wait, there's more...
This bad idea of a tv channel isn't even available to everyone. It's only available to specific Internet providers, like Charter Cable. Somewhere over at ESPN there was a team meeting in which someone suggested, "Hey, let's take this bad product and make it inaccessible to most people."
I have an idea, it's called TELEVISION. Remember when computers would make things like mail and physical stores obsolete? When I want to watch tv, my inclination is to turn on a television. My inclination is not to pull out my laptop and watch a three inch screen while pressing the spacebar every 5 minutes when it goes to sleep.
Bah.
Let them know what you think.
