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 recommendation from a friend (or trusted source / blog) is a lot more valuable in terms of gaining an audience than being featured or being found in a search. 3) Producing great content, repeatedly, is key - not suprising here. Building on these three points (particularly #2) - what do you think about "featured personalities" on a site like Mefeedia - like a "get to know your videoblogger" - very interactive and engaging.
