David and Goliath

I'm not sure how this Blockbuster has survived on the Upper West Side for so long but it's about to disappear any day now.  It's funny that they had a chance to purchase Netflix and they laughed it off.

I just started watching House of Cards on Netflix.  Fantastic show and equally fantastic concept of releasing it all at once.  I desperately want to get rid of cable and just get a Roku or Apple TV, but the NY Knicks are keeping me from doing that.  I waited a decade for them to be good again and I'm not going to miss out on that right now.

There's literally no way to watch a good quality legal stream of the Knicks without cable - for now at least. You can buy the full NBA package but they blackout every game in your local market and on national TV.  That's half the games.

This idea is important to keep in mind if you run an online business.  Facebook or Google traffic will never be a definite.  Who knows if Facebook will be big in 7 years, or even in 3 years.  Younger kids don't seem to care much for it.  It's important to pay attention and adapt.  A mailing list is the safest and most effective long term structure to build for any small business with an online presence because it is one of the few things not exposed to the whims and fads of the online world.
