I think the biggest challenge is getting creators to actually make video comments. Youtube has the only video commenting system Ive really seen used. Most times though, people are just linking to their own videos so they can ride out the popularity of someone else's video. Youtube is the the city wall where everyone wheatpastes their flyers. I still find that most of us are creating self-contained little movies. As a community I dont think we've agreed on Fair Use in our own videos. Let's forget Hollywwod for a moment and see if we cant have consensus among ourselves. Can we use use each others video, like we currently use each other's text posts to have a conversation? Im hoping David's video commenting plugin...and the year long Semanal project help explore people posting videos in the comments of a single blog post. Then we can see about Meiser's vision for aggregated video comments. we need concrete examples to play with.
