Re: [videoblogging] Re: Rocketboom to Auction Advertising Time on Ebay?

[Markus Sandy]

you can take my old tv cable fees and divide it amongst yourselves. actually, take half - then it will seem like a good deal and not just a replacement the problem is: how do we divide it up and pay it out from so many to so many? this problem already has solutions in the music industry; some are mo betta than others, of course Bill Streeter wrote: How much would you pay for an ad free version of a video blog you really enjoyed?

All those people out there that dislike advertising on the internet (http://adblock.mozdev.org/ et al) may just stop visiting vloggers sites with in-video ads and they will all go to those that arent showing ads. Yes. This may be a good thing.

ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:11&item=5661816188 Rocketboom is not only selling advertising time on their videoblog, they are making the ads themselves, placing them at the end of their show and making them in such a way that their viewers will actually enjoy the ad. Why do so many people here think this is such a horrible thing? They are being creative and taking their audience into consideration all at the same time. Besides, it's not the first time they've aired advertisements on their show... they've been doing that for a long time (my favorite was the Flickr ad). Lighten up people.

I havent looked at the terms (if there are terms) of the Rocketboom EBay auction so I dont know how they have veto power. David http://www.taoofdavid.com I think the big difference in Rocketboom's case is that they are taking control. They aren't just 'selling space' to anyone with the money, they are selling space with veto power over it. How many creatives get to do that? Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future...
