videoEgg is great and doign really well they are in sf and provide the back end of video from places like dogster.com and catster.com which has tons of super niche content that is very easy to sell advertising on (oops, preposition) can u say pets? and dogster and catster manage to be ethical as

Joanna Shields of Bebo is quoted in that article as saying As more and more interesting content from major media brands becomes available ... REALLY? I've got 1,000 channels and find it extremely difficult to find anything interesting to watch. There're gobs and gobs of stultifying treacle

Really? The first time I heard anyone use the term content provider, it was artist Laurie Andersen. Perhaps she was being sarcastic to refer to herself as such. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: However you fill in that blank, I hope you don't fill in content

They can't write, Look, wow, video is online anymore, so they have to find a new angle in order to justify the article. There's much more slickly produced content online now than last time old media 'discovered' online video. Now it's time to revisit and see what's changed. In editors' and

Well said Rupert. Good reasons to eliminate competition and snark from my life. Snark and competition (winners / losers) are the psychological equivalents of car wrecks: it's nearly impossible not to look. I'm working to develop the capacity to turn my head away. Advertisers are a bit more

Another misleading claim in this article is that celebrity videos = slick professionalism. I noticed Will Ferrel was mentioned. His drunk baby thing has the look and feel of user generated content. The angle could have been, if you can't beat the amateurs, join 'em.

Regarding the positive stuff for the small content creator, a possibly rewarding relationship with small local business doing the advertising Ive said before that a lot of small businesses dont have too high of an opinion about spending much money on advertising. I guess there are many

Thanks for the article... And I guess no one is going to read blogs anymore since we have Business Week on the Web. If anything, the shift of TV shows moving to the Web will INCREASE the amount of viewers for ALL video. It means that Mainstream Mom will start feeling comfortable watching video
