Fascinating Heath - thank you for posting it. It may be one of the harbingers of the bursting bubble of internet video. The main thing I see different between this bubble and the first bubble, is that back then, it was the creators who got the investors all excited about their ideas. Now, it is

Interesting. To me, Youtube appears more ghetto than other video sharing services, but it's getting the most eyeballs so why isn't Youtube making money? Granted it does bleed incredibly for bandwidth / month, but Youtube does remain center of attention for more users and even mainstream media. I'd
