i used a metaphor that myspace was like NYC and the blogosphere was like the rest of NY. if you dont venture into the city, you wont have as many connections to the connected.... to the culture, to the noise and chaos. If you hang out outside the city, more likely people will discover you based on your persistant efforts and quality.... but you can do much less of that and JUST be found by accidental persusings... people may check you out, move on. maybe someone interesting will connect with you. maybe not.
is it good for vloggers/vlogging?
think of it as casting a worm on a hook out into the water. maybe you'll catch something good. maybe nothing, maybe an old boot. the nice thing is, you can sit back and relax while that hook and worm is out their. you dont need to be active on myspace to potentially benefit from the user base. that is, if your looking for the people connection side of it.
what about technically... the service. is that good and beneficial to vloggers? errrr. minimally, it is. but since i think their are better services from a technical perspective, i would not recommend myspace for its tech services.

Let's see if we can begin to figure it out.
I thinks there are several questions.
1) What do videobloggers want most?
2) What does videoblogging need most?
The first question is probably more complex in that personal
preferences intersect with and sometimes dominate the group interest.
Back to the first. Methinks there is a very large audience over at
myspace who are inclined towards shared experiences such as video
production / audience. If this thinking is true then those vloggers who
want larger audiences probably have something to gain. Isn't it easier
to meet people if you venture beyond your clique sometimes?
Seems sometimes it would benefit vloggers if we (a) encouraged the
service providers who are non-native this group to participate, and (b)
encouraged vloggers to experiment with, or at a minimum intellectually
examine, alternative arenas.
Regarding the second question, the group interest, it would be cool to
hear from one of the vlogfathers. Does vids.myspace.com offer any
benefit to vlogging / vloggers?
