> And I finally remembered the name of the video host of old: ourmedia. Ive
just been catching up with where this and some other sites have ended up,
they are still alive but not exactly bursting with momentum or giving us
much to talk about. Speaking of which, are some of the conversations that
used to happen on this group now taking place on twitter or friendfeed or
peoples blogs or other communities, or are they not happening much at all
now? Its nice to see this group busier of late, and Im just a wondering how
to get a sense of the state of things, everything is so fragmented and based
on popularity or social connections >these days, Im a bit lost.

It comes and goes. As you say, there are a lot more places where
conversations are happening. Videoblogging has also become more and more
ubiquitous.

I still think we're in the new phase that is two-pronged:

   - Now that we have this great distribution mechanism for video, what
   video did we wanted to make in the first place? After three generations
   sucked in by broadcast TV, what do we want to say to each other now?
   - Much of online video is still based on the TV/film model (ie edited
   stories). Can we tell stories in different ways online?

It's a pretty exciting time if you avoid getting overwhelmed. Anything you
do could be the first time its been done.
