I have to agree with you. Until all of this media revolution becomes a million times less geeky it will only appeal to a niche audience.
I wonder about a web technology like AJAX that not only loaded files, but an entire secure site, in a seamless layer over the current web page. So the experience for the viewer was uninterrupted and linear. No back button, or navigating away needed. also, until corporations or the military or the govt. have a use for this service I doubt it will see light of day. Unless there is some huge dividend for shareholders, who cares about independent artists making 2 cents on their site. cheers adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Brook Hinton" <bhin...@...> wrote: > > "on your site you have > a little button that takes folks to another site where they buy > credits - $ 5.00 or $ 10.00 at a time.
