[videoblogging] Is Anyone Here Familiar with Webmunism.com?

2008-02-08 Thread stbdpittsburgh
Hey folks;

While peeking at the traffic for our web series, Something to Be
Desired, I noticed some traffic to our Blip videos from a site called
http://webmunism.com

I checked them out and, now, I'm a bit confused.

If you search their site for a tag -- in our case, stbd -- you'll see
these search results: http://webmunism.com/vids/of/stbd

As you can see, that search creates its own list (and RSS feed) of
videos from YouTube, Blip, Veoh, etc., that are tagged stbd. Here's
the confusing part:

*  Why are some of the videos pulled from Veoh, some from Blip, etc.?
 Is there an obvious hierarchy that dictates why some videos are
pulled from one source and some from another?

*  Why are some videos missing from the list?  Every episode I've
uploaded to Blip is tagged stbd, and yet several episodes from
earlier seasons aren't included in their list.

*  How should I feel about an RSS feed that has the potential to
attract viewers who will see our videos from multiple sources rather
than one consistent delivery method, and whom I'll never know about
because they're subscribing to an RSS feed that I didn't create /
can't monitor?

Thoughts?

Cheers.

great questions Justin and we are back to the discussion of hijacked feeds.
