if you upload a feed to Veoh, it is my understanding that the feed will fall under the name of the user submitting the feed. it will be "claimed" by them. unclaimed feeds have gotten into the system through means of automation. that's why they are not affiliated with any Veoh user. instead of a user name, you see the name of the vlog (eg: kitykity's vlog) or hosting service the feed was taken from. i doubt there is a user on Veoh called blip.tv.
i like the idea of being able to make and distribute large files via a service like Veoh. that's great. i don't like the unclaimed feed "feature".

My guess is that Dmitry didn't say anything about spidering for precisely
one reason, VEOH does not actually do any spidering.
What they do is allow anyone to sign up and submit any RSS feed they
fancy to their network, which will then proceed to distribute
that to them, and to any other members of their network via P2P,
to be played back in the VEOH viewer.
Kind of like a networked aggregator if you will.
I don't think they are 'grabbing' videos any more than say, fireant, is
via its cumulative user base. The difference is that they actually
help distro the vids.
So, unlike fireant, say, one can ramp up one's viewership without
taking a bandwidth hit.
A pretty good wheeze and a valuable one to the vidcasting community.
Their latest innovation is to supply partial flv previews on their site.
That's the only transcoding going on, the files distributed via P2P are those
from the RSS enclosures.
The thing is still very much beta, and a lot of loose ends, social and
technical, remain to be tied up.
They are investing money and effort in our medium, and I think their support
should be graciously accepted, and problems dealt with by communication
not castigation.
