P.S.: If you haven't noticed, you cannot watch an obscure program on a mostly-ignored cable channel without seeing a commercial from a venture-funded e-commerce business. Television, labeled "dead" by the experts, may still be dead in the long-run, but in the short-run it has become one of the places where venture-funded e-commerce stalks prospects. Describe your strategy for finding new customers.
