I keep a couple of clichés around for this. I know clichés are clichés, but sometimes they help.
First off, this is a marathon. There is a lot more to be said about how viral, commercial, personal, citizen journalism, vlog, online media will develop. My youthful idealism says that virtue will win out in the end. At least that is what I am banking on. Second, this isn't a zero sum game. If you tube and blip and everyone else keep the same market share in the online video space for the next few years, everybody on this list will have access to a comfortable lifestyle. Of course, none of this is guaranteed. So keep working hard, but stay focused on the goal and don't get distracted. and I agree, it is a shame ;) Jim V --- In [email protected], "bordercollieaustralianshepherd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That YouTube is getting the attention when Blip/Mike should be getting > press.
