around the Internet."

    Bloom added, "We believe that the next big thing
in home entertainment comes in two steps. First, we want to
provide a compelling reason to use the computer and the TV
together in the home. Secondly, we want to empower people
to create, connect and share content from their TV.  With

step in demonstrating the real power of what I refer to as,
networked entertainment."
