This is one of the reasons that I ended up posting my videos in my four blip "shows". With all these "startups", many of them are bound to fold. This is especially true for the 'gimmicky' sites that draw users for some particular feature as opposed to a solid business plan and hard-working, diligent people that are determined to make their company a success.
Just last night, I was hanging out with Rudy & Grace & MissBHavens & Bre etc etc etc and Jared Klett (http://blip.tv) was there as well. Sometime around or after midnight, Jared produces an actual hard drive from his coat pocket and announces his departure to return TO WORK! :O Last year, I was hanging out late night with Mike Hudack when he fielded a call about something that needed to be changed at blip, and right there on the spot, he started making moves to handle the business. Jonny Goldstein was doing his show on Operator11, when they suddenly "went down" for like two weeks straight! :O That meant he had to do his live show on blogtv, so now he has archives of his show on two different live services. :/ The key, like Rox said, is to have your own copies of your shows... in all of your formats, unfortunately. If some site you post to goes down, re-upload to your new home. Unfortunately, that destroys all your links to the videos in your blog, and you have to hire someone to go back through and re-link everything to the new videos.
