It's lame. Oh thanks for letting me have a free download *for only a week*! It's not free. It's a loner download. And with commercials at that.</p><p>Stuff like the Heroes 360 experience made me think NBC had a clue about the web, but I guess not. Thanks, but no thanks.</p>Deryck HodgeThu, 20 Sep 2007 00:17:37 -0000http://mashable.com/2007/09/19/nbc/#comment-5978145<p>Is NBC VIP (in the lower left hand corner of <a href="http://nbc.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="nbc.com">nbc.com</a>) what you're calling NBC Direct?</p>jon burgWed, 19 Sep 2007 17:12:28 -0000http://mashable.com/2007/09/19/nbc/#comment-5978144<p>This is great! I was at a conference yesterday where an NBC SVP objected that NBC was not a traditional media property (as someone had just stated at the conference). Someone snickered. Little did we know, she had something wickedly awesome up her sleeve.
