it's a discussion, bro.
it's how realizations are formed.
- who said blip etc were bad options?
- who said paying for cheap shared server hosting was a bad option?
its not a discussion so much about is option 3 better than option 1 and 2 or is option 1 worse than blah blah....
it's about reviewing and considering the feasibility of these other options.
some inquiries had responses that were off-base, in my opinion.... but also some very good information was offered.
this is how you dredge up knowledge, learn and teach.
one thing that i repeatedly asked was regarding the data pipe you get with a free or cheap hosting service verses some of these dedicated or co-location options. like i said,, this is the Performance variable that many many people seem most concerned with... not monthly allotments or monthly cost... it's 'will my video play immediately all the time'. how many people bail out of watching a vid that doesnt load quick enough? If a small group of vloggers shared a FAT pipe, you'de have a premium quality service for close to same cost.
regarding monthly bandwidth allotment limits and storage space limits..... a vlogger could be creative.... could do like blip does and cross-upload to IA for archival or cross-upload to any other server you may have access to.... you keep your most current videos on the fat pipe which is most ideal for VOD..... when these vids drop off your vodcast feed and into your archives, you can delete them and point to the mirror server(s) instead.
thats one approach to get around the aforementioned concerns.... while still serving your vids optimally
right?

In other words, Blip guys, why don't you charge for premium accounts? Everyone happy.
That's what I said like 58 emails ago!
I also think you guys are giving Clint a hard time for some things that he's right about. The idea of grouping a bunch of vloggers on a dedicated server is going to give each vlogger a $/bandwith ratio that is way lower than each individual getting their own shared hosting account. Adam threw out some numbers earlier where a person in this co-op would spend about $15/month for 300 - 400GB of bandwith. 1and1.com will give 250GB for $3. Why wouldn't everyone just get their own account? That's what Clint keeps saying that you guys keep giving him shit about.
Now as to free access...
We NEED Oumedia and Blip because, I for one, want to hear from those that can't afford thier own hosting plan. And many of those can't afford the computer or camera either. That's why we started NODE101 - to be the other piece of the free puzzle.
