To me, there are some very interesting/amazing things about RocketBoom
1) The amount of viewers/downloads went from nothing to something comparable with pretty sucessful cable TV show in a year or less.
2) It did this with almost none of the overhead associated with "normal" TV or Movies.
3) It did this throgh a distribution channel very different from traditional TV and Video (the internet).
4) Rocketboom has developed advertising methods very unlike things that have come before (having creative control over adds - auctioning on eBay)
5) It appears that you have and are resisting temptations that must have occured to change your methodology to be more traditional.
... to me, the RocketBoom story is a really really interesting one, at least based on these outcomes, and, for me, I'm most interested in, how in the world did it get to be this way? how did you start? what do you do on a daily basis? what sorts of things are you considering in the future? how much was planned/vision, and how much was random? etc...
... the other thing is that, as I understand it, you grew up with this community - the Yahoo vlogging group - even today, you are sending a message to this list to ask us what we are interested in, and you guys still seem to keep up and contribute, despite all you have going ... Michael Verdi was telling me about how he used to edit for RocketBoom for a while at the beginning, and you would move his air matress on your apt floor to make room for the show ... I had not idea about those connections, for example ... what a story
... that's the sort of thing that interests me, the whole rocketboom story and; especially, how it grew and it related to our little community, and I think that would be interesting to our group, and the outside world as well ... anyway, my thoughts ... Richard

Frankly, I think you should look at Rocketboom's success and ask
yourself "why are we different? Why did we make it?"
I, for one, would be fascinated at the answer. You're in a unique
position, and therefore have a unique perspective to share.
