Right you are. Isn't there an open wiki already in existence where
community members are compiling info on products and services.
Videoblogging.info perhaps. I saw Steve Garfield had started
something and We are the media .com does reviews, but there's a lot
of grown to cover. The problem is it needs an open wiki for compiling
info, charts and comparisons... and meanwhile a rating and commenting
system so people can review things. In other words it needs to be
sufficiently open. Even if we can't have the initial info be open and
editable if we could just keep reviews and rankings this would be
very valuable, infinitely useful and desperately needed. Anyone know
of a "product review" open source package..
Things that need to be reviewed
-camera reviews
-mac/win software video editor reviews
-mac/win video aggregator reviews
-portable media player reviews
-hosting reviews
-vlog hosting specific service reviews
-misc services... google and yahoo search, blogdigger media service
-a biz report that kept tabs on startups in the space
-and a blog to report on new additions and reviews
Now, I've got a half dozen projects but damit each one is better than
the next. If anyone's interested I'll contribute what I can including
hosting if necessary. After finding the right open source package
running it should be fun and interesting.
BTW, Thanks for the IT Conversations tip. I'm a huge fan of IT
Conversations. Definitely my favorite source for podcasts. I'll
definitely be contacting him. He perhaps better than know other knows
the economics of large scale podcasting. I thought I heard something
about them adding some video too?
We could really stand to use something like this. Anyone have the
time and resources? It might very well be a great monetization point
with a little advertising, but I've vowed to not over contribute my
time so I can't manage it.

It would also be great to compile information about hosting solutions in
the videoblogging wiki:
