I hate to say it, but podcasting seems to have gone through this, and the winners so far (as far as financially) are those that had a set 'show' format. I guess people are just so used to consuming media in this fashion that the media producers (podcasters, videobloggers) who run by their own schedule and their own formats, experimental or what not, just aren't accepted by the mainstream. Sad but true? The weird thing is, with RSS & subscriptions, this just doesn't have to be the case. I mean, in the olden days people knew when their TV shows were on and they planned for it. Nowadays you set a season pass and timeshift it all and watch when *you* want to. Still, it seems people need that 'regular schedule' or something. With RSS you subscribe, and you get the content when it's available. Is that so hard for people to adapt to? Is the whole 'not knowing when it will show up' scary for folks? > like my Pop told me...do what you love and the money will follow. I'm still waiting... Well, if I count that $20 then I guess you're right! ;) Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... ------------------------ Yahoo!
