[videoblogging] Re: Just a Blip in the dark? - Affirmative...
Hey guys, Just so you know, we're working to get more capacity online and to distribute our load more efficiently between our existing ISPs. We should have some more progress in this direction today and tommorrow, and more and more over the course of the next week. We've experienced a great (and relatively unanticipated) surge in usage this week. We're growing very quickly, and it's hard to keep up with the demand while we're self-funded, but we're doing it... and we'll keep doing it.

More news about Blip.tv and it's load carrying abilities: The people at Blip sent me a very nice and encouraging email that I gather was as a result of following this group's threads and reading our posts. It's obvious from that correspondence that they care very much about their service and performance. In addition, my partner has been in touch with their hosting/bandwidth provider about serving our own site and it's clear from his correspondence with their hosting service that they are working with blip and others to try to ammeliorate the bandwidth challenges posed by our big media files. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, this is disappointing.

Thanks Mike. I'm using Blip.tv and I hope you guys succeed. We got 800+ viewings of our videos in less than 12 hours when we uploaded our content to you guys within the last week. We're happy about that because we want viewers for all our hard work. We're self-funded too. More competitors for big media, more better. -David The Captain Humphreys Project: A Man Alone.

I'm not sure what the problem has been with them lately however as of today, I am going to start to upload a copy of my videos to my own host. Just to be sure, I'll stick a copy on my home server as well. My home server may not have the best upload speed in the world but at least there will still be a way for my visitors to view my videos.
