I think we can respectfully make suggestions regarding how some vloggers view the set of needs for video publishing however IMHO we should not tell them how to run their businesses. If a host wants to show their logo or use Flash it's their business decision, it doesn't make them bad or evil, the way I see it they can do whatever they want. Same for anyone.

I'm intrigued by how successful "these new Flash hosting companies" are doing, look at the youtube growth figures, look at how cool the vsocial flash is, look at what Rodrigo is cooking up, look at the media deals Brightcove is doing.

So why again is Flash is bad? I just posted a streaming flash of Jakob and James from one of our shoots and though I prolly overcompressed this web clip I'm liking the usability factor.

This is the biggest worry I see with these new Flash hosting companies...
they think becasue they give free hosting...they can do whatever they
want with it.
put on logos...lock it on a page...etc.
Free hosting is not enough.
Following Creative Commons Licensing is very important so we can
create a true remix culture.
if its all just streaming Flash...id be very worried.
