Foursquare and Instagram Added to Empire Avenue

What do you get when you cross Empire Avenue, $1.2 Million, and big shots such as: Crosslink Capitol, iNova Capitol, and Bioware Co-Founders?  Endless Possibilities that's what.  Empire Avenue (known as EAv here on out) recently acquired investors.  These investors mean a lot to the EAv team and it's players.

Why does this mean a lot?  Well, instead of "Going out and buying a Zeppelin," there quote, not mine, they'll be spending a lot of that on new team members.  These team members will give a boost to production in the EAv atmosphere.  This is great news, considering the fact that there are only a few of them to begin with.

More team members isn't the only reason to be happy though.  They just added connections to Foursquare and Instagram.  For those of you who use mobile devices and actually get out enough to use them, this will be a huge plus.  With eight profiles already, two more wouldn't hurt.  Right?  Also, with these added connections and team members, they'll be able to add connections quicker than you'd expect normally.

So, what does this mean for EAv?  More connections, more team members, more users, more virtual goods, better updates, etc.  All in all, I think it's a good day for EAv.  If you aren't already using this massive Stock Market game that puts a value on your Social Media activity, now might be the time to join.  It's only going to sky rocket from here.  And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

The Problem With Paid Programming

Many people like to watch TV.  I'm a big fan of it myself, although I haven't been watching much of it lately.  Why?  Most of the stuff I have access to is garbage.  Right now, I have only digital TV.  Not Cable, not Satellite, non of those.  Just plain old TV.  Seriously, what's worth watching on plain old TV?  On top of that, the reception is absolutely horrible.  "Oh, it's better than just having an antenna," they said.  That's a load of Bull, when every so often the picture fades in and out or loses connection completely.

This new Digital TV is the worst thing ever.  Seriously, if you're thinking about saving money by switching to Free TV, don't do it.  If you can safely afford to that is.  Although, this post isn't really about Digital TV now is it?  Oh, yes, that's right, gotta stay on track here.  Getting carried away with my rambling.  Paid Programming?  Why does it suck?  What can I do about?

For years now, Cable and Satellite TV have been at war.  Cable has been known as the money pig and Satellite has been known to have less of a Reception.  But, why should I pay for it?  They won't let me choose what programs I want to pick.  Over half the stuff on TV, I don't want to watch.  So, why bother?

Well, there was a company that offered a Pick Your Own Channels package.  I'm going to have to do a bit more research into this.  Although.  Direct TV is become a bit more to my liking.  I might have to check out Cable as well.  What are your thoughts?  What TV service do you use?  Are you happy with it?  Yay, or Nay?
