I am not interested in becoming part of some consortium of vloggers. All I am interested in is a simple solution of a dedicated server where the bandwidth is reserved strictly for the use of hosting videos off of. No home page. No listings. Just a file server is all I want. Blip and Ourmedia already do what it is you are talking about.
I know I said that I would be interested in getting into this however rather than get involved with a gazillion ideas of how people want to try and become the next Blip or Ourmedia or Internet Archive, I think I'll bail out of this idea right now and host my own videos myself.
