Succeeding in network prime time has gotten tougher. Every day, several thousand homes are wired for cable, and more people are buying videodisks and video cassettes. That all represents competition.
You have to have a first job to learn how to act, do interviews, pose for photo shoots, and negotiate how you’ll say lines with writers. My first network show, ‘Cavemen,’ just happened to be one that was culturally reviled.
In the world of digital currencies, the social network around open source projects has become a critical test bed for ideas, products, services, and early users.
I’m coming for Ryan Seacrest – I want to be the black Ryan Seacrest for BET. I want to host, I want to produce, I want to do everything for the network.
We’re not going to dumb down for them. They have to move up. They’re the network and we’re the show.
There is nothing that would prevent Fiat Chrysler from providing ride-sharing service to a wider community and using our dealer network for this.
Blockchain assets derive value from their usefulness. Bitcoin has value because people value the payment network. BTC is required to use the network, so people demand it. If Bitcoin continues to be useful, it will continue to have value.
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.
I would like to see every newspaper and every magazine have a network of bureaus all over the world, gathering news.
I believe photos is one of the underlying things in every social network that becomes successful.
I know that I’m a quirky guy, to say the least. I don’t know how easy I am to cast for a network. It hasn’t been because I haven’t tried. But am I dying to be on a TV show? No.
I think in a lot of network television, everyone’s vaguely Protestant and doesn’t really go to church so they can be ‘relatable.’
The CEO of AT&T told an interviewer back in 2005 that he wanted to introduce a new business model to the Internet: charging companies like Google and Yahoo! to reliably reach Internet users on the AT&T network.
There’s a thrill in flying by the seat of your pants – trousers, actually: ‘pants’ in English means underwear – because most shows don’t operate that way. Network shows are repetitive.
What I tell women who want to get on corporate boards is to get connected! Do volunteer work, network in business, join community organization where you can demonstrate your leadership capabilities and other people can see your skills being applied.
BitCoin is actually an exploit against network complexity. Not financial networks, or computer networks, or social networks. Networks themselves.
I’ve always weaseled my way into Grammy parties to network and everything, but now I have a legitimate reason to be there – it’s so cool.
Social networks particularly will tend to converge and consolidate over time, especially because they’re inherently governed by network effects. So the bigger ones will just get bigger, their value will multiply exponentially, and the smaller ones will become less and less relevant.
I don’t know that it’s particularly good for my writing process, but I have gotten some very valuable writing ideas and advice through Twitter and Facebook and other social network sites.
Making a show is such a long process. You go through a TV production house that will commission scripts, and if they like what you’ve written, they take it to a network and sell it to them. It has always felt very far away from something that’s actually real.
You might not like that Facebook shares your political opinions with Politico, but are you really going to delete all the photos, all the posts, all the connections – the presence you’ve spent years establishing on the world’s dominant social network?
Bitcoin is valuable as a currency because of the economic efficiencies the bitcoin network is already creating as transactions flow over it. As with the Internet, more applications will flourish which will make the bitcoin network, and thus bitcoin as a currency, valuable.
I interned at the NFL Network while I was in college, but I have not had an internship or another job other than football in a very long time.
Univision is the only network where you pay for more, not for less.
I love working in television, and I’ve been thrilled to be a part of so many wonderful shows. I worked with Lady Gaga on ‘Gossip Girl,’ and the brilliant Felicity Huffman on ‘Desperate Housewives,’ but I think my favorite TV job so far was the pilot I shot for the CW Network this year called ‘Joey Dakota.’
We have just started, and if you compare the number of people using Skype to the number using a telephone network around the world, we’re still just starting.
I would like to thank those who spoke boldly against the ‘gay marriage float’ in the 2014 Rose Parade. Apparently, that vigorous opposition came from perhaps millions of people, and it had a significant influence on how the matter was handled on network and cable television.
Long-term power purchase agreements are very important from an Indian perspective, not only in terms of supplying regular power across the country, but also for efficacy of the transmission network.
I must admit I don’t watch a lot of Adult Swim or Cartoon Network.
Television is much more difficult because at every moment the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments.
The point is not to stay marginal, but to participate in whatever network of marginal zones is spawned from other disciplinary centers and which, together, constitute a multiple displacement of those authorities.
Drag is involved with changing identities and not taking identities too seriously at all. That’s why drag is such a hard sell to a network – or anyone, really – because it’s up against the ego.
Facebook is massive in scale and scope. Twitter is a public communication forum, but if I’m following you, you’re not necessarily following me. LinkedIn is, simply, a professional network.
Playing a positive role on a network television show, it was great. I took it as a responsibility. Poncherello was supposed to be Poncherelli, and then when I got this part I said, ‘You know what, this guy isn’t going to be Italian-American, he’s gonna be Hispanic American.’ And they went with it.
I’m a huge fan of good, procedural-type shows on television… there are a lot of roles for women. But there aren’t a lot of great network television roles for girls that will let you start a character in one place and finish up with her in a totally different one.
Dictators can fix up their entire families in good jobs, in or around government, and often do. In democracies, such a practice is frowned upon. Privileged access to the corridors of power through family connections and a kind of old boys’ network, is also deemed an abuse of power, and so it is.
You can’t say whatever you want on network television.
Back in the 1950s and ’60s, J. M. Barrie’s ‘Peter Pan’ – starring Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard – was regularly aired on network television during the Christmas season. I must have seen it four or five times and remember, in particular, Ritchard’s gloriously camp interpretation of Captain Hook.
‘Superbetter’ looks more like a social media platform or a social network than a typical video game. You know, there aren’t any 3-d spaces to explore. You don’t have this avatar that you’re building up. It’s more about thinking like a gamer.
Anybody who has spent time with the networks – in fact, you don’t even have to spend time with the networks, all you have to do is just watch primetime TV – and you think, ‘What the hell are they doing? I could run the network better.’ And I think everybody feels that way.
The trajectory of nearly all technology follows this downward and widening path: by the time a regular person is able to create his own TV network, it doesn’t matter anymore that I have or am on a network.
With the rise of cable, network is clearly floundering because the characters on cable are far more fascinating than they are on network. Network television is trying to figure it out. Network television really relies on story rather than character, and cable relies on character.
Net Neutrality originally referred to management of the ‘last mile’ of the network over which data flows into a person’s home, but the debate has grown beyond that in recent years.
You don’t have to be a nerd or a programmer or a network engineer to make a difference.
When they don’t have your back on a show, it’s the worst feeling ever. That energy trickles down to the cast and crew. You can feel when it’s not gonna be a winner. But when you have the support of the network and the studio, it’s a really good feeling.
I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.
I was on network TV for about 15 years or so, which I loved.
I often talk about the PayPal mafia out of San Francisco, people that were in PayPal and got out of PayPal and continue to reinvest in other start-ups and create a huge pay-it-forward type of network there.
