I too loved Adcritic way back when...but pay to see ads? Ha! I always found it very ironic that these companies sought so hard to find a market and then right when the market is coming to them charge for it. Ha! Certainly the world is moving the other way now... Movie trailers are a good sign of this... they float everywhere... advertising is seeking to get more viral, more portable. They more than anyone in traditional media realize the potential of social media. > > At some point, I have no doubt that someone will start a new > video-podcast directory that excludes businesses and ad campaigns and > includes only indie works. > >>>> ...When I go to vlog >>>> directories, I'm not looking to find a videoblog of advertisements. >> >> If you now think it's ok to have such videos in directories, reverse >> you position.

THere should always be and will always be lots of communities... there will be no one "directory" to rule them all... THere will be communities within educational institutions, communities of ad fanatics, communities of independent artists... all free to seek out and explore their own relationships through sometimes the exact same media. One day you'll be able to see what a bunch of adbusters has to say about an ad and skip over and see what a bunch of adcentric people have to say... if it's a car ad you could go see what a bunch of car owners or buyers have to say. But let's just kill this concept of the perfect directory now, it's the differences between us and our communities which make life so meaningful and interesting. I believe this is the core concept behind the end of objectivity... Admit there is no such thing as objectivity in the news and then start acknowledging and being honest about your point of view, thus allowing others to value your news for it's perspective, not in denial of it's bias. -Mike > Thanks for the change in tone, > Kitka > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
