Correct. It's human nature to want attention/popularity. Nothing to see here, move on. RE making money, it's already a given, look at how much effort is being made to make tools to raise funds to make better tools and presumably to pocket some money along the way. But BFD. It's noise, at the end of the day there will be tools, either open source or privately funded, probably both. It's how the tools are used that matters. RE giving back to the community, are we talking about specifically the videoblogging community or society in general? I would hope none of us would be so selfish to want credit/rewards to accrue to the an individual or even the videoblogging group. IMHO, the reward (if the stars align correctly) will be the social change. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
