The NATPE convention (National Association of Television Program Executives) was held this past week and they kick it off with a video all about how viral videos have become part of our lives.

What do you if your popular television show that includes reports on deals, bargains, and shopping needs a website to aggregate all of the information from the show, its videos, and information about advertisers?  Obviously, we know that the dot tv (.tv) extension is the only place to create a presence because of its brandability.  Not everyone gets that, but Dot TV fever is catching on.
