Are we to understand then that there is less money for user video out there, I mean I got out of Podshow due to the fact that not only did I have to make regular videos, I also had to do my own networking in order to get views, etc.

I think the Dream is over, no one wants to pay for digital video(Including Mainstream Media), no one buys anything thru advertising, I think people are a little more savvy and wary of the internet than on-line companies give them credit for.

Soap box OUT.

Peace!!
