What I see happening... 2 parallel video publishing paths.

Hard-Core Vlogging, using IPTV and high-qual video.... any content but most popular will be themed or variety 'shows'. These publishers will also cater to the other path by offering lower-res versions.

Soft-Core Vlogging, basically what you commonly have seen over past few years... not targeting TV, not nec high-res video... but the content will increasingly include more creative and interesting stuff... and 'shows'

Basically, many people will find Soft-Core path to be suitable.... whether reasons are money, time, goals....
Hard-Core Vloggers are very serious about pushing the 'everyone is a publisher' concept as far as they can....

To me, the benefit of an ad system, is that it creates the possibility of making a living doing this very realistic. (Remember the ad revenue is split with the broadcaster)  AND it puts all the sales duties on someone else's plate.   I can remember when my "home page" was very popular in the late 90's and I was trying to invent a business plan around a popular site.   The only people I knew doing personal publishing and making money had organized into networks (I think Maxi was one?).  Then the networks had resources to sell niche ads for those sites (instead of broad stroke "click to punch the monkey" ads.)   I see Veoh's system as one of those networks (on a much larger scale.)

At this stage, doing everything yourself isn't much different. But how many people are making, or watching personal video publishing right now?  It reminds me of the days of when you could check "Cool Site of the Day" and stay up to date on all things web.  I think the big benefits to Veoh (or any system like it) will be much more clear when iptv revolution is more widespread and the amount of content starts to reach infinity.

Halcyon(funny that we call each other by these names)....you work for
Veoh, correct?
what is the difference between what youre offering and me having my
own videoblog with a feed?

it also says on your site that :
"Veoh does not charge content producers to broadcast their content,
and allows them to specify if they would like to offer that content
for free or for a fee. Veoh derives revenues from taking a percentage
of the fee, or advertising wrapped around the free content."

so why would i host my video on veoh and and allow it to be wrapped in ads?
this IPTV-hype reminds me of all the problems with regular TV.
