But there’s been a decline in the blogtv management participation also, they seem more focused on ad revenue than to help promote and drive good content.

Promote good Content and the audience and revenue will follow.

I'm not sure who even cares about YouBoobers being on blogtv, but I know that alot of veteran broadcasters have felt the burn and took their cams and mics elsewhere. Blog used to be a social community with a feeling of friendship, now its $$$$$$$ Yes I realize you need money to run a business and they need these ads smack dab i the middle of peoples broadcasts but really where do you see Blogtv in 2 years? These Youboobers will find better offers eventually, or go on to bigger better things and leave blog in the dust. If they are going to pay Youtubers why not also pay the other broadcasters who actually work hard on bringing content and entertainment for FREE to blog,, sleep on that one.</p> Well I must say this is one heck of an article.

BlogTV consists of people sitting in front of a camera and answering questions. That’s it. None of these people are really that interesting, so the only real draw to the site is for the broadcaster.

People like SXEPhil get a lot of views over at YouTube – well only because he is placed on the front page of YouTube – but cannot seem to bring viewers over to BlogTV. Other like Shaycarl and Charles Trippy are not funny.

Hats off to the musicians. Enough with the guy who wants to become President in 2012 and the guy who thinks he is a reporter for CNN.
