So… The Internet had declared TV war, and every TV set in the country was fighting for the attention of the viewers.
Networks began to create websites and fan-forums for viewers to discuss what was on TV, guides became digital and soon enough, so did episodic clips.

People didn’t need to turn on the news when they got home at night; they had already seen it on their (now portable) computers… the “Lap.

World Wresting Franchises and other ‘live’ sporting events began to upload clips, results and interviews with the athletes online. It was bad enough viewers were distracted while watching TV, but now they had no reason to watch them at all!

Online TV viewing was about to explode and there was one website in particular that had it’s finger on the trigger…
