I think Josh has earned the right to be well watched and well respected... that pretty much goes for everyone...  certainly Steve's has earned it too... Don't confuse popular traffic numbers with press though as Josh points out. He hasn't gotten a lot of press... he's just a great communicator, people enjoy his blog. That said guys on the receiving end, I think ManCheeseMo was joking...  I know I'm not going to cut of my hand to spite my... well you get the point... I don't know about you but I like the vlogs I like... and no article in the WSJ is going to change that. Isn't there a little irony btw in this um, debate, over air time... you want more airtime, go make some damn vlogs people! :) Wanna help, re-vlog the hell out of one another... share the things you like and when you do you'll attract people that like the same things as you... simple as can be. That's my thing. Promote what you love, speak about what you love, do what you love and you'll attract people who not only have similar interests but love you for who you are... and those few hundred hits I get from people who are interested in what I have to say... that's way better than the 30, 000 hits I get every month thanks to some paris hilton video spoof... are you looking for meaningful interaction or just raw eyeball numbers to throw adverts at? We don't need their stinking media... what are we in this for? Are we joking when we say "we are the media"... I don't remember signing up to "we are the big media's bush leagues".   Do we need their attention, their gratification? Like I said... this new social media doesn't run on ad impressions... it runs on a completely diferent economics... love the game for what is is... enjoy it, make the best of it.  Peace, -Mike On Dec 16, 2005, at 1:49 PM, Josh Leo wrote: Wow how Did I get included here? I have been in one article by name once... just as much as people like Beth Agnew, Erin Nealy, Phil Hamilton, Serra Shiflet, Amy Carpenter, Josh Kopin and many more...better start adding them to your boycott list...I mean after all They all probably suck too huh? I do however think that BottomUnion should be in every article about vlogs because he is my favorite... Man-cheese where is your URL, I'm not as much of a boycotter as I am a viewer I want to subscribe to your content...

None of them are great.  Sure they're decent, but they sure don't deserve the hype over anyone else.
