First of all, the future of RSS-video consumers is not limited to tech-savvy people, and quality production is a must. The "shaky cam" is a tough one to watch. Your vlog's feed had 248 readers yesterday, which makes you #9 on the FeedBurner list. I'd bet there are more (potential) readers out there for Grand Rapids, backpacking, geocaching, or folk music. There are over 200,000 people living in GR (not including surrounding area), and the other topics you mention are not even limited to a geographic audience. The technology does need to catch up, but the topics you mentioned have a better chance of appealing to the masses. Hypothetically speaking- if you had 5,000 niche readers (let alone 50,000), you could probably make a living with it. Given all that, I still agree w/ the other side of this. Personal videos are great. The incentives are different for each subject. -Matt --------------------------- http://www.leanbackvids.com http://www.vlogmap.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
