[videoblogging] Adult vlogging revenues (was Re: echoes of FEM)
You're half right, Stephanie, I do dress in lingerie and read the news but it's usually not AVN... it's mostly mainstream sources like Reuters, BBC and the New York Times. These are all stories covered by the mainstream, I just happen to be sarcastic about it and wear about as much clothing as someone playing beach volleyball (perhaps even more!). I agree that my content is explicit (I've used the F-word a couple of times), but the delivery of it is not adult. I have no interest in venturing into the realm of subscriptions or removing my clothing and becoming a porn star/erotic model. I wouldn't mind doing a Women of Vlogging spread in Maxim, but I have no desire to become the next Jenna Jameson. I also recently removed all banner advertizing from my site (Google AdSense, Amazon Associates), I don't want any annoying banner ads to ruin the experience of coming to my site to watch the show. When I started Kitkast I just wanted to make a video extension of my sex blog which dealt with censorship, religious intolerance and the government. If/when I allow video advertising on my show I would prefer that the ads were non-pornographic. People don't keep watching the show for porn, they watch it for the comedy and tittilation... and I have made a concious choice never to show nudity (although, in episode 1.15 I showed nude paintings in an art gallery... nothing you wouldn't see on PBS!). Don't get me wrong, I do have plans in the works... but when I first started Kitkast I had no intention of making any money. The only reason I would like to make any money now is so that I don't have to work 35 hours a week at my regular office job and 25 hours a week on Kitkast. As you've seen in Four Eyed Monsters, the stress can really hit hard on our personal relationships. I appreciate your input, but please understand that I have no desire to become heavily associated with porn. I would, however, love to become heavily associated with sci-fi... ;) Kitka Yahoo!

emWhat's in a name? A videoblog by any other name would still have an RSS feed.../em - Kitka Shakespeare, 2006 A.C.E. To me videoblogging has more to do with the video being available via RSS... this is what truly sets it apart from regular video on the web. The blog is simply something that facilitates its distribution/broadcast. When it comes down to it, most of my viewers have never seen my web site/blog page anyways... at least 95% of my audience downloads Kitkast through iTunes/iPodder/FireAnt/MeFeedia/etc. Hencewhy I have aborted all attempts to place advertizing on my blog page! Kitka http://www.kitkast.com/ --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Bill Streeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is an interesting question. And it kinda goes to my own working definitions that I've expressed here before. I don't happen to believe that videoblogs are defined by content as much as methodology. A videoblog to me is simply video on a blog. That is video posted in a blog format, which is a regularly updated website where content is posted in cronological dated posts. It may or may not have an RSS feed, comments, a blog roll etc. But it always has chronological dated posts on a web page. Thus the name Web Log. The whole personal vs show thing to me is kind of a weird way of looking at it. The first blogs I read were political blogs and they most certainly weren't personal journals. I understand that the personal journals, that a lot of people understand blogs to be, are a genre of the form, but I wouldn't ever say that a defining characteristic of a blog is that it's personal. So to my thinking if a video blog is simply video on a blog then it's not necessarily personal. To me saying a blog or a videoblog is by definition personal is like saying TV is all sitcoms or all films are documentaries. A blog is a media form, and that form has genres, personal, political, artistic etc. The beauty being (which is kind of the beauty of the Internet as a whole) is that it's simple for any individual to do without much help or particular technical expertise, and that makes personal forms or genres possible. The other thing that I've been thinking about recently is if there is or isn't a difference between a videoblog or a video podcast. And this is what I've been thinking: if we accept the premise that a videoblog is simply video on a blog and we say that a video podcast is the same as a videoblog then conversely a podcast is the same as a blog. Well, we know that that's not true. What we know (or at least the way I see it) a podcast is simply multimedia distributed via a rss feed. So accepting this definition then a video blog can also be a video podcast, or not if it is video posted in blog form sans an RSS feed. Also a person can post video to the internet outside of the blog form but still deliver it on an RSS feed. This would be a video podcast that isn't also video blog. So if you accept these definitions (and I'm not saying that you have to) then what the people from Four Eyed Monsters are doing is not video bogging, but video podcastingsince they are primarily publishing video via an RSS feed sans the blog form. They do have blogs, but on Myspace, and that's not where their video feeds are posted. So those are my thoughts. It's not something that I feel is set in stone, but that's just where my head is at with it at the moment.

[videoblogging] Re: anyone get a response from TIVO for their Videoblog Project
I never heard from them either. All I know is that Rocketboom currently has an exclusive contract with them and that TiVo is using them as an experiment. They are apparently testing everything with Rocketboom (technologically) and once it is up and running, TiVo may add more videoblogs. Andrew spoke about this in his interview with Business Week (the podcast). There is an increasing demand for Mobile content, but my show is too large for people to download to their cell. My boyfriend and I are in the process of mobile-ifying our web sites to make them accessible to mobile phones, though. My new site design will launch this weekend. I think the problem with PSP is the limited storage space. We have considered making Kitkast available for PSP, but I think it also has a 16:9 screen and we don't have a PSP to test it out on, so the idea is on the back burner. iTunes is definitely a link to have if you want a broad audience... more than 90% of my subscribers watch the show from iTunes. I was a little surprised the other day, though, when RB added an iTunes link under their embedded video... I wonder if other sites like FireAnt and MeFeedia will be shaking their fists at the link.

I noticed Rocketboom has several links for various distribution mediums for their content: quicktime | win | torrent | phone | psp | tivo | itunes The phone, psp, itunes are of interest to me, because they are portable devices w/video capability. I am interested in these new mediums as part of the Content/Distribution model. For the iPod/ iTunes is especially exciting, with 42 million out there ( counting). It has an *established* distribution network of iTunes Music Store (w/revenue-stream). It has a LOT of visibility, is popular with young generation (hip/fashionable/cool device). Guess Jeans is making iPod compatible jeans, automobile mfrs are making their radios iPod compatible (Mercedes, Toyota, Chrysler, Ford). What about: - cellphone (lot of activity, for streaming video: TV Internet) - PSP (has WiFi capability, for Web access) Are these emerging giants as part of the Video on Demand revolution, where you can see video-content on a portable device?

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom Changes?
I'm assuming that Andrew set a reserve beyond any expectation (one ludicrously high such that it cannot be met) to give him discretion over accepting a bidder. Note the terms: he reserves the right to refuse any bidder. Yet, had a bidder won, he would have entered into an agreement -- via ebay -- whereupon he would have to deliver the ads. This gives him discretion. (speculation) Well, $15,000 isn't a lot of money for a high profile show like Rocketboom. As Andrew has previously mentioned, RB has already been talking about CPMs from $50-150. If this is so, why would RB submit to such a low paycheck when they're already having offers of much more? I've done the math before: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/33287 If you take the minimum $50 CPM, that makes $50,000/week. Doesn't it make $15,000 look like charity? Kitka Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom Changes?
I'd be interested to see what the CPMs are like for ads playing on MSN Video before news segments. There must be a market out there that already has a set CPM rate, but the cost is probably similar to advertising on television because sites like MSN are gargantuan! Still, that does not negate the value of RB since CPMs work proportionately to your audience size. Besides, how do you put a value on ad space in videoblogs? Audio podcast time isn't as valuable because you can make an audio show that goes on for one hour... but video space is more valuable because of how quickly the size of the show escalates. It's hard to compress a show to a reasonable size and keep it looking good. A 30-second ad at the end of a 3 minute show like RB is a considerable size... so why not demand high CPMs? What Andrew is doing now is setting the market for the future of videoblogging. Let's watch, see what happens and offer our assistance when needed... this is what the community should be. Kitka --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, T.Whid [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Andrew thinks the show is worth $50 - $150, that doesn't make it so (or not so). There is a market for online video advertising and the price is much lower than $50. Andrew believes that RB-type of video is a whole new market that hasn't had a price set for it yet (please correct me if I'm wrong). That's the purpose of an auction, it creates the price. The price is what the market decides it wants to pay for it. Of course, Andrew doesn't have to accept whatever this price turns out to be. On 2/7/06, Kunga [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Absolutely.

Wow, that was like being in the Mirror Universe! Amanda had slightly more coiffed hair; more bosom; different background; completely different subject matter than a regular RB episode; different intro Amanda Congdon from Rocketboom.com; etc. I guess in general, Amanda just looked more Vegas. I was smiling the whole time picking out the differences that regular CSI/Non-Rocketboom fans wouldn't notice. It was so much fun. I look forward to hear whether Andrew produced it.

I'm don't answer for Andrew, but RB does have a CC licence that restricts people from using the video if they make profit from it (I have the same licence: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/). That said, though, since this wasn't a regular episode of RB, I have no doubt that they were paid for it. At the very least, they must have been paid for the use of their logo and for Amanda's acting talents.

If I right-click on it I can select Open with and then select Quicktime... but not everyone in the world knows about right-clicking (at least, I know my parents don't!).

In Windows, iTunes is MUCH different... it's like a hyperactive child that forces you to pay attention to him (ie. it's difficult to use any other programs while iTunes is running). The reason being that iTunes for Windows is programmed so that it has a whole bunch of redundant code to make it LOOK like it's being played on a Mac...

Happy Chinese New Year to you, Edmund. Gees... if only the Japanese hadn't switched to the Western calendar during the Meiji Restoration... then I might have had a day off for lunar new year!

Well, being the rare Chinese (as in, a Malaysian Chinese, not a Chinese Chinese) vlogger here, I think I gotta put up videos related to the Chinese New Year. Shot lots of footages that I'll be editing when I have the time. It is a tradition for us to have family reunion dinners on the eve of Chinese New Year (28th of January), and I've posted a short clip of that dinner. So, here you go, have fun! http://swiftywriting.blogspot.com/2006/02/swifty-posts-video-of-his-chinese-new.html It's always nice to have some variety in the Vlog community, aye?

Actually, Kunga, if you take into account Andrew's post saying that they were looking at CPMs of $50-150/episode (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/32269), that would be approximately: $50 CPM x 200 (ie. 200 thousand viewers) = At least $10,000/episode $10,000/episode x 5 days = $50,000/week $50,000 x 52 weeks = $2,600,000/year Which means... $50-150 CPM = $2,600,000-7,800,000/year That's even more than what Jeff Jarvis from BuzzMachine.com quoted to the New York Times a couple of months ago. He originally mentioned that RB could sell ads for approximately $8,000/show and make a $2,000,000 annual salary. Of course, if RB wanted to do this full time they may need to hire a small ad production team to keep putting out innovative content. This won't be a problem if they are able to establish a steady paycheck. Heck, I know I'd quit my day job and live off peanuts to join a team like that...

Don't you hate when you think of something awesome but don't grab hold of it first?

The other reason I didn't do it was because Ebay may have taken down my bid for the same reason as their sister company PayPal closed my account; the dreaded adult content guidelines. There may be no actual adult content on my show, but these jerks over at PayPal/Ebay just love to crush anything sexual with their iron fists. Good luck to the Rocketboom team!

There doesnt have to be ads in the actual videos. Find an alternative to having Eat Rice Crispies every morning played before I am allowed to see the video. Dont hold me hostage while I wait to see the content. David, the last I heard Rocketboom was going to place ads at the END of their content, not before.

David, I urge you to read the terms of the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11item=5661816188 Rocketboom is not only selling advertising time on their videoblog, they are making the ads themselves, placing them at the end of their show and making them in such a way that their viewers will actually enjoy the ad. Why do so many people here think this is such a horrible thing? They are being creative and taking their audience into consideration all at the same time. Besides, it's not the first time they've aired advertisements on their show... they've been doing that for a long time (my favorite was the Flickr ad). Lighten up people.

[videoblogging] Re: The Rocketboom Boom
I was thinking about the auction and some of the discussion it triggered. I was wondering if there were any envy involved. Not saying there is, just wondering... I have to agree with you, I have no doubt that there are many jealous people out there wishing they had the number of viewers and an income from their hobby, like RB. And then I realized what the auction is really going to trigger. Everyone is going to know how much Andew and Amanda will be making! Right now, I think it will be more than a tidy sum. Because it's on eBay, the information will be public. Whatever the amount they make from this is well deserved for their innovative approach. The more press Rocketboom gets for their creativity, the more chances all videobloggers have of becoming more popular. Andrew has been incredibly generous in sharing information about vlogging with us. But this is going to be earthshaking. Andrew has been very generous and I find it insulting that some people on this message board would attack his tactics (especially without reading the eBay listing fine print). I hope the vlogging community can survive it! People are always talking about a vlogging community but I have yet to really SEE one. All I see is a group of pundits on a Yahoo Group who attack each other for every line they write. Gees, I mean, people are even attacking Capitalism today! Is the vlogging community supposed to be a community of communists? I sure hope not.

Metal tends to condensate, when brought from a cold environment to a warmer one, magnetic tape is so thin, it has no problem in sticking to the heads if condensation is present. To stop this from happening again, wrap the camcorder in a nice thick jumper or wooly blanket whilst transporting it. Even have the appliance sitting with you in the front seat of your car, somewhere it will be warm.

[videoblogging] Re: What does Apple like in a Video Podcast?
Mark, I was reading about how to be a Featured Video Podcast on iTunes the other day and (off the top of my head) the requirements were as follows: - Show image must conform to iTunes' standard 300x300 pixels; - Must have an in depth description; - Must be properly categorized (ie. This or That = Entertainment, Kitkast = News, etc.); - Sexual content will not be featured (which probably means you and me, kiddo.) Btw, I'll be reviewing you on my show this week... This or That TV will finally have a place on Kitkast... ;) Kitka --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mark Cyr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted this recently in the new Apple 'podcast producer's Forum'. I don't normally cross post my opinions but I thought folks here might have something to say about it... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=328594tstart=0 I am a producer of a video podcast that represents a completely independent (no money) television show and the work of over 30 volunteers. But, it seems that we are not the kind of video podcast that Apple likes. And so we are trying to figure out what Apple does like. Our podcast: This or That! America's Favorite Burlesque Game Show Video blog: http://thisorthat-video.blogspot.com Video blog feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ThisOrThat-video ITunes Podcast listing: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=74172010 We were thrilled to hear that Apple would add poddcasts to iTunes and were one of the first podcasts listed back last June. We have been posting in the mp4 file format (video ipod compatible) since June as well. We were also listed by mefeedia, an independent video blog directory, aggregator, and web based player last spring. Mefeedia lists over 4300 video blogs that you can subscribe to. http://www.mefeedia.com/feeds/ And we are listed on at least 20 other podcast directories that list video podcasts, I use mefeedia as an example because they cater exclusively to video podcasts. We have never been a featured anything in the iMusic Store and are baffled by how Apple chooses what they like. Near the top of their Top podcast list are French Maid TV, and Tiki Bar TV. Well, folks say you need a little titillation to keep the Apple programers happy. But not so, we are a burlesque show with plenty of salacious activities, visual excitement, and an explicit warning, but this does not get us onto any of Apple's prefered lists. Well you need to be popular Apple says (in their official FAQ listing of what it takes to be a featured podcast). Well we are popular, just not with Apple. On mefeedia, we are the 4th most popular video podcast out of over 4300. But on Apples site we are below the noise floor. (Its worth noting that the top 3 on mefeedia are not in Apples Top 100 either). We have only 5 star reviews on Apple's site and no bad reviews (so far) on mefeedia or Apple. As for Apples other technical requirements, we meet them all. Including the fact that our video podcast is taking off. It is being seen around the world, with a larger audience than we would ever have achieved on public access TV or even as a regular web page. We realize that Apple has no reason to be fair about this, they are a corporation attempting to make money after all. If fairness (or the promotion of home produced podcasts) was the point, Apple would simply rotate the featured podcasts, say every week or so, so that all decently produced podcasts would get a chance to be seen and heard. Apple does not seem to be in business to support or promote home grown independent efforts like our own (and most of the podcast community). They seem to have decided that the only way to make money is to promote commercial products, like all those FOX podcasts, and now the NBC and ABC television libraries. The Apple FAQ states, In most cases, we avoid promotion of podcasts that are themselves merely promotions for other media products, such as films or albums. But that statement is at odds with what they do feature. If they are going to make this kind of statement they need a new category: Featured non-profit podcasts. There are many of us who have produced `other media products, such as films and albums' and TV shows that have had little success in other forms, but when they are translated into podcasts, folks start listening and watching. It seems this statement, we avoid promotion of podcasts that are themselves merely promotions for other media products, such as films or albums, really means, we avoid any content that might compete with our revenue generating content. I realize that this may sound like sour grapes on my part, but we are genuinely frustrated here. I would love to hear other independant podcast producers tell me I am wrong.

The big difference with RSS-based media is that the sponsorship would be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the movie does. Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets downloaded 10,000 times in the first month and 2,000 times each month thereafter... that would make the value of a single video sponsorship at $250 for the first month and $50 for each month afterwards. Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers since the video gets pushed further down into the feed/archives. So maybe the sponsor only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and another $250 for the remaining 5 months... Bring the total to $500 sponsorship per video. (Up-front payment of course.)

The big difference with RSS-based media is that the sponsorship would be embedded into the movie and exists for as long as the movie does. Assuming that the CPM is $25 and a single video gets downloaded 10,000 times in the first month and 2,000 times each month thereafter... that would make the value of a single video sponsorship at $250 for the first month and $50 for each month afterwards. Of course, there is an exponential decline in viewers since the video gets pushed further down into the feed/archives. So maybe the sponsor only is charged for 6 months... $250 the first month and another $250 for the remaining 5 months... Bring the total to $500 sponsorship per video. (Up-front payment of course.)

[videoblogging] Re: legal rights of copyrighted material
People... THIS is why you never hear any new music being played by crew members on Star Trek... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jen Simmons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 19, 2006, at 7:35 AM, Crystal wrote: Okay but how about Music? If I publish lets say stillshots with background music of my favorite artist that goes along with the pictures...and I have the CD so its not like I stole it off the net. Republish on the net...so every can see it. But yet its mainly for Friends and Family is that breaking any laws? I mean its my CD so why can't i put MY pictures to music and share it with people?? The answer: no one knows yet. The laws regarding use of copyrighted works were written to be intentionally vague. The plan was for the law to have a large grey area so a judge could decide on a case-by-case basis what's right and what's not. The world has changed a lot, very quickly, however, and this new world we live in is, well, new! What does it mean for a ''regular person to make a movie using protected work and put it on the internet for a handful people to see?? I don't think a case like that has ever come before a court for a decision, and since the laws passed by legislators and previous court cases don't deal with this issue, then there is no law about it yet. Meanwhile not only has the internet changed broadcasting, and computers have broken-down barriers to entry to creating films and media... but also corporations have taken over more and more, buying up the rights to more and more. Really I think there are two issues here: what is legal, and what is respectful. I see no need to respect the copyright on Happy Birthday (which was owned by AOL/Time Warner... who's got it now?) If you are making a feature film to distribute in theaters, you have to buy the rights to use the song -- and it's incredibly expensive. The song was written in 1893 by Mildred and Patty Hill, with different words, and so the artists are long gone. AOL Time Warner is just using the legal system and their power to make as much money as possible without regard to what the song means to us as a culture. So... if I get together with friends and sing happy birthday in a restaurant, I'm not going to worry about paying a fee for a public performance of a song. That's totally ridiculous. If we videotape the moment, and I post it to my videoblog, I am also not going to worry about it. Of course, I don't want the wrath of AOL Time Warner lawyers upon me... I make less than $20k a year, how in the world could I afford to defend myself in a lawsuit BUT A HA! I am not alone. I'm sure if I got a seizt and desist letter from AOL, I could contact American University and all these non-profits working on fair use and they would jump on the case, donating their services and taking care of the thing for me. It would be a great case to see happen, and could mean breaking the hold of these ridiculous money-grabbers!! Meanwhile, at the same time, there are many examples where it's grey as to whether or not I have to get permission to use someone else's work, but I decide I want to, because it's the right thing to do -- it's the respectful thing to do. I can use my own judgment, and not worry about the law. If a local band is selling their first album, it's great exposure for them if I use their song in my videoblog. I'd make sure I credit them, and link to their band website where people can find out where they are playing and buy their album. If I knew them, I'd probably let them know / ask them if it's okay. But for me, if I didn't know them and didn't have time / felt too shy to find them, I'd use their music anyway. It is great exposure for them -- if Good Morning America wanted to do a spot on them, crediting them, but without paying them, I'm sure they'd be thrilled!!! If however, I had some project going where I was going to make money -- like I'm selling videos, and I take their music, and especially don't credit them, but rather take advantage of a situation and even try to pass off their art as my own -- well then I'm doing something wrong. I say if it feels like stealing, then don't do it!! Even if you could fight off a lawsuit and win. It's still wrong. But to your original question -- does every home-movie maker who wants to use a mainstream song off a CD for their photo slide show or movie of their kids have to worry about copyright violation?? I say no. Apply created iPhoto and iMovie to let people do this very easily, and did demonstrations of this very kind of project, and no one said, hey you have to get Madonna's permission to use her song with those pictures of your dog. I think publishing the movie to the web is just a step further... and still should be allowed. Again, there is no law drawing the line in the digital sand. And every record label

Well, if you direct your audience from your vlog to go to LeanBackVids.com then I don't think you should be at fault for people watching in iTunes. Besides, I wonder if there's some way of disclaiming the music you use by saying it was taken from a shared music source... with all the legal jargon rolling around, there must be a way to get out of that kind of lawsuit. I would worry more if you do have a sponsorship. It would be a responsible move to make sure that you are using music that you are authorized to use. I have no doubt that as the web grows more communial, it will not be as difficult to use a piece of music in vlogs. My best advice is to play it safe for now by either adding a disclaimer or linking to the product... the other option is to make friends with record executives... BTW, the only reason Kitkast took on a 1930s Hollywood theme is because I was trying to find music that was open source!

Kitka, you seem to contradict yourself: I don't believe you'll get into any trouble unless you are making money from using their copyrighted material. and then you go on to say that you might be making money via sales from Amazon. Isn't this making money from using their copyrighted material? Pete Good point, Pete, but the difference is quite clear; while I'm making a few cents off the sale of their album, I'm not making any money by using the music on my vlog... the money is made by using a perfectly legitimate advertising service on my blog site. So, when I said I've made 87 cents, the money was made from the text link on my blog site, not by embedding the link somehow into my vlog (which is probably do-able since I think Rocketboom does that with their story links). If a record exec has a problem with the money I make from Amazon Affiliates, they can go ahead and sue Amazon. Seriously, though... a begger makes more money on the street than I do from Amazon.

--- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Richard BF [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm also not a lawyer, just to get that out there, but my girlfriend is, and I've been involved with and negotiated copyright and the use of music in the past. Andreas pointed to other posts on the legalities and how he'd recommend that all videobloggers get educated on how rights management works. Absolutely. Learn what it is, and what it means for you. What hasn't been mentioned this time around, is why copyrights exist, apart from the money. Don't assume that by using a work, you are promoting or advertising that work. Copyright is not about making money, it is about retaining control over your work, and having the legal right to make decisions on where and how your work is used. What one person thinks is a promotion of a work, the original artist may see as slander, not befitting of the work, or against the principles of the artist, such as being used in a porn video podcast for example. This is why copyrights typically require you to get permission from the owner, although there are limited exceptions through the fair use provisions of the copyright act, which was created to allow educational, parody or reference (news reporting for example) use. Copyrights protect our culture, and they do that by allowing artists to take control of their work. This also allows them to charge money for the use of their work, in effect sponsoring them to create even more work, and subsequently progressing our culture even further. Unfortunately however, the system has become abused [RIAA/MPAA rant here], but people like Lawrence Lessig and Creative Commons are trying to fix it. You should also visit their site, and read about what they're trying to do to protect culture and your rights. http://creativecommons.org/ Rights are good for you.

[videoblogging] Re: PORN, yes, I said it PORN.
There are several feeds that have been flagged as potential adult content, not just the one, there are 25 of them. But I agree that there should be some dialog with the producers of the feeds before they get flagged, that's where Mefeedia did go wrong, agreed. The process is being refined. It's not the content of the video that I feel needs to be indentified, it's the thumbnails. -- ~Devlon I wish that there were more options when submitting a feed to a site like Mefeedia. Many sites ask whether your vlog is explicit or contains adult content but that's where I believe they're wrong. What would be nice is if the sites would provide markers indicating the rating level of content similar to Hollywood films (G, PG-13, PG-16, R, X). There's nothing I hate more than sitting in front of the computer wondering whether I should label myself as adult or for everyone. When submitting a feed, there should be a drop down list of options similar to the ratings listed above. Those ratings should then show up as a label when people are browsing through the vlogs. Until there is some way to completely block over-18 content from children, I believe this is a good way to rate things. I wonder if there is some way to make people registering for an account to enter their birthday and to program the site to allow content only within their age group. If they accept your terms and conditions saying they have given their true age and information, the company providing the content would not be at fault if a child registers as an adult.
