Although, honestly, I'm inclined to agree with PMM that this is a less big deal than we're making it. Has anyone here ever gone to a website you saw on television? (Other than you're local news station for weather, that is.) I think we'll get less traffic from this than from from LJ, honestly.

Jess has a good point. Even when I see a site I'd be interested in, usually by the time I get around to my computer, I'm like, "I wanted to look something up...what was it..."

It's unlikely to get us a lot of attention, but a disclaimer about this being owned and operated by US would be a good idea, if we don't have one already.

Yeah, I'm not really worried about a huge influx of people, I just don't like that we are being presented as an official anything.
still watching TV Guide.

TechTV gives good links. That geeky guy on "Call for Help" has sent me to the browser a couple times.

Hec said what I wanted to say, about Natter. It's just too much, and for someone shy like me popping into Natter is hard. It's like jumping into the middle of multiple conversations, none of which you necessarily have anything to add to. So unless I hit it at the right time, I end up skipping and not posting. Not liking that this bothers people, but I think Hec is right about growing pains.
Also, a big UH-OH on the TVGuide Channel mention. I personally have visited websites I've seen on TV, and if I were a Firefly/Joss fanatic who didn't already know about this place and saw the blurb, I'd be signing up right now.

KNUT!!
I've been watching the TV Guide channel for over an hour, it hasn't hit a repeat cycle yet and the Firefly thing hasn't been on. So, it can't be coming up that often. I guess we can be thankful for that. Still they should be ripped a new one for poor reporting and not fact-checking.
edit: Knut made me all blushy and I went to Natter to say so. Really I'm only being slightly passive-aggressive, really.

Being mentioned on TVGuide Channel gives me this weird feeling of standing around with a bunch of friends chatting, then looking over my shoulder and seeing us surrounded by observers. Kind of Truman Show-esque. It's kind of thrilling, being part of a community that's being held up as a source of information. I feel all insidery.
But I do keep looking over my shoulder, wondering who's watching.
