One thing stuck me about your comment, Randolfe A comment of, Cool is not necessarily from an airhead. Sometimes it's simply a function of time. Would you prefer someone who liked your work leave no comment than, Cool? Sometimes, Cool is all I have to give, but that doesn't make it nuthin'.

Yeah. Building a vlaudience is like refinishing an old table. Strip off all the layers until you find the good stuff, then layer by layer, add, take off, add, sand down, until you've made something beautiful. Layers? 1) Content 2) Comments (yours on others' works) 3) Comments (others' on yours)

Frank @ Mefeedia mentions an interesting tactic, and one I've been a proponent of for awhile: a Meet the Videoblogger-esque behind-the-scenes culture that promotes the culture of videobloggers. I'd actually like to see the idea taken a bit further toward a star support culture -- Veoh's Viral is

Hi Justin, I like your thinking - a whole community around a show. This is something that we will look into. I think a good step 1 would be a meet the videoblogger? We could probably allow for each videoblogger to include their Twitter widget and fun things like that. The key, of course,

Hi I may be able to give you some additional feedback after tomorrow. Veoh.com is featuring my One Minute Motivator series of vids on their site tomorrow. These are short success/motivation vids of less that 2 min and in the vids is a listing of my website to go for more info. Now less than 10%

Good luck with that! :D Are they featuring just one of your videos, or are they planning to rotate them? That might make a difference as far as which of your videos collect hits. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ed Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I may be able to give you some

Being featured on Veoh may not be as potent as it used to be. Whenever I sign into Veoh, the featured videos that play for me are based on my recent viewing history and coments. This means that I have mostly Japanese Pop videos which consumes most of my viewing time. YouTube is very vacuous.

Good question, but I can't answer it, they were not clear on how they were going to do it, I was dealing with several different people in the chain of getting it done, and wasn't able to nail that down. I think I will be OK no matter how they do it, if a person is intersted, as I have them titled

I just checked, and I've gotten 58,923 views on one video I did that was featured on YouTube. But did it lead to more subscribers to my vlog? 4. Yes, four. And the video even contained the web address, so, yeah, I share your frustration. Perhaps it was the venue. Perhaps the views were

I've had stuff featured on a bunch of video sites, and the result varies from site to site. I've had at least three videos featured on Yahoo Video and it's made minimal difference to my other videos - but then, I don't think that Yahoo video browsers are as engaged as YouTube users are. Despite

Agreed with Kent: any feature is a long tail value-add for eventual exposure, but by and large, your audience will tend to flatline at its current base until another BIG feature comes along -- and even then, it's only a minimal bump. The more inroads people have to finding your videos, the

Wow - great discussion here, and very relevant to a lot of questions we have been asked here at Mefeedia. Some observations that we have seen: 1) Views are interesting, but an audience is a LOT more interesting - particularly if you want to monetize. Advertisers like predictability. 2) A
