The shift will be faster than people think b/c of the demographics of online video (the coveted 18-34 year-old crowd). It is common sense really - when was the last time you heard a 20-something year-old talk about a TV show? The buzz and chatter is all about online video, social networks, etc..
On a related note, the LonelyGirl announcement today was huge for indie video producers. I know it is a "hit", but regardless, it signals a shift b/c it appears that LG licensed their content to MySpaceTV w/out having to sign an exclusive or hand over creative control. Big shift for old media player Fox (although sometimes the devil is in the details, so it is hard to say how good of a deal it actually was). -Frank Frank Sinton CEO [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mefeedia.com/user/franks/ http://mefeedia.com - Discover, Collect, and Share video blogs _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chuck Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [videoblogging] Re: the ugly truth about online video This made me recall what Bill Gates said back in January: http://newteevee. <http://newteevee.com/2007/01/29/gates-tv-is-doomed/> com/2007/01/29/gates-tv-is-doomed/ Ad dollars to video is not going to change from TV overnight, but there WILL be a change over time and a significant one at that.
