Growth is a nice problem to solve.Los Angeles, CA

Growth is a nice problem to have for any small business. What if your business went from 20 people a month to 200,000 a month in less than a year?

Spreety’s Guide to Watch TV Shows Online (http://Spreety.com) did just that, and 5 server upgrades later, decided to try something new: cloud computing.

With traditional server upgrades, the process was labor and planning intensive. Typically, the upgrade would involve a code and data freeze, extensive reinstallation, and patience while the domain name updates trickled through the Internet. While the upside of traditional servers is control, the downside is that the hardware had to be expensive enough to handle the peaks of activity.

Enter the cloud computing server solution. The cloud is an amorphous collective of computing power that is inexpensive and handles peak activity gracefully. Billing is based on usage.

“For a growing business, we no longer have to buy powerful machines in anticipation of peaks,” remarks Spreety co-founder Ron Laughton. “Spreety can now grow without interruption, and we simply pay as we go for only what we need.”

The vendor of choice was Mosso’s Rackspace Cloud. Other cloud solutions, such as Microsoft’s Azure, are coming soon.

Learn how to enhance or replace your TV with the free Spreety.com e-book.

Los Angeles, CA

Have you ever wanted to enhance or replace your TV with the latest technology? Would you like to know how?

The founders of Spreety’s Guide to Watch TV Shows Online, who replaced their TV with a PC in 2007, have posted a free e-book titled, “The Entertainment PC: A How To Guide”.

The visually appealing e-book is on the Spreety.com site, and was written in five sections. The “Introduction” section explains why many TV shows and movies are legally available online for free. The “What’s Online” section discusses the best places to watch TV online. The “What to Buy” section discusses the hardware to fully enjoy high definition online TV. The “How to Configure” section discusses the optimal viewing configuration for a Windows Vista machine. The “Usage Tips” section wraps up the document with miscellaneous viewing advice.

“I enjoy our entertainment PC,” says Ron Laughton, co-founder of Spreety. “We use it for TV shows, sports, movies, music, home videos, video games, and photo slideshows. Our new e-book empowers those who are interested in doing the same with their entertainment center.”

As the case for watching TV online becomes stronger, incorporating a PC into the entertainment center may become more common. For those with a taste for the new, the free Spreety e-book is worth a look.

With Hollywood, knowing the talk is part of walking the walk.

Los Angeles, CA

With Hollywood, knowing the talk is part of walking the walk. So where can you learn the dynamic terminology of such a trendy industry?

Enter Hollywords, an encyclopedic dictionary of thousands of entertainment terms. Hollywords has been meticulously compiled since 2002, and a three thousand term subset is available on Spreety.com.

The terms span the sophisticated (i.e. avant-garde), to the technical (i.e. variable bit-rate encoding), to the pop-culture (chick flick). Everyone from a casual fan to a chiseled industry expert will find something new to learn.

“At Spreety, we were looking for a quality glossary to compliment our free Entertainment PC e-book. The Hollywords knowledge and depth far exceeded our expectations”, Ron Laughton, co-founder of Spreety’s Guide to Watch TV Shows Online.

“People often use slang and technical jargon to exclude the uninitiated from the inner circle. Hollywords breaks down these barriers and Spreety is an ideal platform to help us spread the word”, Richard W. Kroon, founder of Hollywords.

One question remains: will a word like Spreety ever make the Hollywords list? Only time will tell.
