The problem with having one centralized leader for videoblogs is that it would create a monopoly. It's better to have competition in order to find competitive rates and features. I considered getting hosting through YouTube but I didn't like the way they put the YouTube logo on all videos. I

What is the advantage of LibSyn over a free site like Veoh (you mentioned earlier)? Is it a question of features or something that works better for you personally? I guess I don't think I should have to pay anything at this point...though I'm not sure how long that will last. --- In

I had a real problem starting my videoblog because I promised myself it would be out by a certain day and when I went to release it on ourmedia or internet archives (my original plan), I found that my files were too large. Since I wanted to put out a 10-minute show I had to find an alternative.

You don't have to pay anything if you are satisfied with free services. Let's look at it with an abbreviated example from the blogging world... There's Blogger. Its free. Its pretty good. It does a lot of stuff that works fine for a lot of people. But it doesn't include many features that are

Even if there is a centralized site, there will always be other niche sites for vlogs. Someday, I expect that the mainstream media will completely overshadow independently produced vlogs on the Internet. At that time we will have to start other sites to house our little personal shows.

that's just not how the internet works. It is massive and distributed. It is too large for any one entity to control or make entire sense of. Not even Google. What is going to happen with videoblogs, or video on the web, is that there will be a lot of it and it will be everywhere. It is
