So now it's uncool to have a contest to promote Internet Video? Let me ask you, Steve, which at least "appears" to be more helpful: hosting a contest or throwing out attack after attack after attack?
I think we responded appropriately to the concerns raised by videobloggers, and we certainly listened to the community. The goal of the contest is to raise awareness and do it in a participatory way, by asking you for YOUR take on how-to. Because there are certainly still lots of people who don't know there are great things to watch on the Internet. All they've seen is the skateboard tricks and lip-synch videos. So what's wrong with making a contest, offering prizes, and doing something to promote Internet video while throwing a little money into the ring? Does this mean you won't enter, Steve? : ) --Chris Brogan...
