Would t-shirts be considered promotion? Did they cost nothing to make? Rocketboom being successful early on probably helped in the zero dollars promotion, as it was the subject of news stories and lots of buzz from people, those who come later will most likely not benefit from such attention. Look at podcasting, it's still easy as heck to get up and running today, but to get noticed? It takes work... Back in September of 2004 if you had a podcast, chances are that everyone interested in podcasting (a few hundred people?) knew about it. Personally I think it's interesting to see where Rocketboom is going, just as I'm interested to see where The Dawn and Drew Show is going, and how it all ties into the new world of media I've been dreaming about for years and years. The barriers to entry have gotten lower, and they are still low, and let's hope they stay low. As far as promotion, has anyone involved in videoblogging spent any money on promotion? In what way? Did it pay off? Did it meet your expectations? Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!
