There is no buzz about it. Other then you, I've never heard anyone talk about it enthusiastically. How come you just don’t hear that much about Current.tv? There is no buzz about it.

My discovery of Current.tv was at complete random 2 years ago at SXSW06. Amongst some confusion my friend <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/samanthatoy/113415020/in/set-72057594083598381/" title="shannon and i" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shannon and I </a> met <a href="http://www.conorknighton.com/" title="Conor Knighton" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Conor Knighton </a> the host of GoogleCurrent (now Infomania) while trying to determine what we were waiting in line for outside of the Austin Convention center. He explained what his show was all about, but at the time I didn't not think much of it. After-all at SXSW you can bump into <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/samanthatoy/113415306/in/set-72057594083598381/"target="_blank" rel="nofollow">just about anyone</a> and they all have something super interesting that they do for a living. A few months later I was going through the business cards I had collected, looked him up and found an episode of GoogleCurrent. I was hooked... online. Shortly after I discovered it was part of my cable package. Before SXSW07 I dropped Conor a note to let him know I had since become a huge fan of the network. He was glad to hear that I our "line-waiting conversation led to an actual 'life enhancement'". He also went on the explain that most of their marketing is through word of Mouth. According to http://www.current.tv the station is in 50 million homes worldwide. Now how many of the people in those homes understand what Current.tv is and know that they have it? Im not sure. Spread the word! Justin…
