Let Me Be Clear

SnagFilms will ALWAYS stream films to consumers free of charge.

We believe in the power of user distributed content. We stream our films and our economic model is based on advertising. We up sell films in DVD format so users can own the films they love in that manner.

We want to build a huge audience and an active distribution community and we have. In another month, our widgets will appear on 250 million pages for that month!

We are streaming millions of films per month.

Free is the way to go for us. No paid curtains or walls for us. I promise. Read this article.

Mac

Friday, October 30th, 2009

When I was in college, Fleetwood Mac was one of the “IT” bands.

In the 70’s, they ruled. ”Rumours” was a big album and everyone was listening to it. They were reintroduced to the mainstream when President Clinton embraced their sound during his campaign.

Here is a very good documentary about Fleetwood Mac, the band and their times. I enjoyed watching this one. It has a bit of Eric Clapton in it, too. Peter Green is an important individual in the history of rock. Who? Check this out! Here is your weekend film viewing free of charge on SnagFilms.com.

Too Busy To Worry

Friday, October 30th, 2009

On Tuesday night, we beat Philly - a very tough team - 4 to 2. It was like a playoff game. We were focused and played well in front of a sold out building at home.

We then eeked out a 4 to 3 win two nights later - on the road - after taking a 3 to 0 lead over a divisional opponent. With the win, we now have won six games in a row. We have 18 points in 12 games played. We have the second most points garnered in the East, two behind Pittsburgh.

We got home at 2:30 am and tonight we play the Islanders at home and then the Blue Jackets on Sunday afternoon.

We play four games in six days, a grueling schedule.

After Sunday we can worry about how we did last week. Did we gain points and did we win in a way that is acceptable to folks? But right now we just need to focus and play each game as it comes. Don’t look back. Don’t critique. This schedule is difficult as it is hard to “get up” for every game, one after another and keep the intensity going.
