I would love to see this group get away from A-list and move forth. Let videoblogging flourish without A-listers blogrolling A-listers, without clique-y behaviour, opening the doors to all producers, developers and collaborators.
I have never met JG but love his spirit. The petrie dish concept is a wonderful thing, make open media, live open media. I like his statement "Behind every Vlog there are individuals, people...". YES! I don't know Rachel, Mark, Abe, Chris, Ryan, David, Robert, Christian, Johnny, and Johnjacob tho I think I'd like to meet them all. JG, please help get their work online for us, help us video bloggers discover these new people and their ideas. Let's make a special effort to make this happen, let's make the community more open, let's let in anyone who wants to develop tools, create content, communicate ideas. Let's not discriminate, let's not be small, let's welcome everyone to attend all functions, with no excuses. Let's make this happen big, let's make an extraordinary effort to not exclude and for us all to be open. Let the people be visible, let the B, C, D and E list be visible, let everyone be equal. And let everyone be a collaborator. Be collaborative, not exclusionary. Make love not war. Kudos to Verdi and everyone who helps noobs, and everyone encourages peeps everywhere have a conversation with all of us.
