I don't get it. "The silence from this group is deafening?" You're accusing us of being hypocritical? Of "hollow words to market another dotcom product or service"? One email at 3.00, asking if any vloggers are nearby, then a link to a million-viewed Youtube video at 7.00, then you post at 8.00 all hostile. If your point is Why Didn't We Discuss This Before, then why didn't you bring it up before, instead of just sitting on your hands, silently getting angry about the deafening silence from this group? Personally, until Heath's post, which I read after reading yours, I didn't know anything about it - first news I heard of it in the UK was last night, and there was no mention of videoblogging or the web as a crucial part of the story. And you know what, I didn't find out from your unhelpfully toned and negative message. This isn't a rolling news discussion group. If you think something is worthy of discussion, bring it up. Don't sit silent and then accuse everyone else of being dishonest or hypocritical for doing the same.

It's funny how people talk about technology changing this and empowering the voiceless. I can remember folks saying the same thing in this group. Yet its just hollow words to market another dotcom product or service it seems.
