Thanks for the insight. I still have alot to learn. I still THINK that combining some features of youtube and fireant would be awesome! Also a web-based version of fireant would be great (webbased version and a download version). I also think that more people would vlog if it was as easy as using youtube. I just found setting up fireant for my vlog was very hard. I still did not succeed at using it. In fact I gave up on it! I'm sure there is a lot more people who gave up on it to. I will go back to it when it becomes easier. Maybe in the future thier will be an option to just check a box at ourmedia or google video to include your video on Ant.
Great point about youtube being sold, but more of reason to adopt some of thier ideas into Fireant. Your probably right I should not be flapping my lips when I barly know what I'm talking about. LOL. I'm just venting some of my frustrations of being a vabe. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Pete Prodoehl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > aroundtheperimeter wrote: > > That is why I'm saying a HYBRID version of Youtube and FireAnt would > > be awesome!
