What To Watch on the Web http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6178644.stm Lots of stuff about traditional TV and news video on the web, but towards the end of the page it has sections on web-only comedy and videoblogs. The comedy section mentions Galacticast in glowing terms: Galacticast, a weekly sci-fi comedy shot in a Montreal apartment, is one of the few with enough talent and imagination to be truly funny and watchable. Congats for the glowing BBC review link Galacticast! Recognition, hoorah. There are many other comedic talents on the web which I reckon also deserve praise, but hey ho, its a start :) Just wish these journo's could resist being so negative, even the compliments are a dig at the quality of others! Goodnight Burbank is mentioned by the Beeb too, a programme I only found myself a few weeks ago and did seem rather funny to me :) Anyway Im sure theres a few things in these articles that people could tear apart. My summary is that theyve decided that web video has come of age, but with plenty of caveats and the usual 'missing the point' slightly (eg huge success by online video makers is still deemed 'a surprise').

Ummm... well, er... you attended the Vloggies in the US and did not turn up at vlogEurope, which was a lot closer to home for you. If you want the BBC to take European vloggers seriously, perhaps you should, as the Americans say, put your money where your mouth is?

I did a big old post on one of the articles pointing out the inherent flaw in the youtube business model. http://mmeiser.com/blog/2006/11/inherent-flaw-in-youtube.html Please, tear it to shreds. I would be honored if someone told me I'm a raging idiot. :) -Mike On 11/27/06, Gena [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ah, reminds me of a song somebody's knocking on the door, somebody's ringing the bell, do 'em a favor and let them in... Paul, relax man and focus on the goal, not who is in the stands watching. It will come to you. Don't worry about it. You have a body of work, you have a unique voice that is expressed and have the dual challenge of making video and educating folks on what you are doing. Being a pioneer takes time. The hardest folks to convince are your neighbors and relations. Things are changing so fast from even six months ago so when they do catch up with your stuff you will be down the road a bit - maybe even producing a special type of mobile content. Who knows? But should you happen to go into the pizza business don't be skimping on the cheese, extra basil, onions, garlic and mass quantities of the good tomato sauce. Deep Dish or Thin Style? I leave that up to you.

Yikes! I almost missed this thread in my bizzyness, but we started getting comments and email from folks who found us by BBC. Thanks for posting it to the list! Paul - How about heading on over to the BBC and suggesting some user-submitted episodes to local programming? Let them know who you are and what you do. Give them some ideas to on how and why to use your stuff. And keep us posted!
