I agree with you Andrew, especialy in regards to a way to easily "find" content, etc. I watch quite a few vlogs but I am sure that there are a whole bunch more that I would be interested in if I just knew about them.
As it stands right know there is no easy way to find vlogs, yes you have MeFeedia, Fireant, Zencast, etc but they are by no means all inclusive. It feels scattershot to me......finding content is not easy, and to be honest, I don't have the time to scour the web finding it. I DO like to do OTHER things besides vlog and watch vlogs....I know that may be hesay to some ;) In the end for me, I feel the the gang at Network2 has been active and responsive. Can you say that about all the other sites out there that are just crawling your feed, taking it and rehosting it, with out you knowing about it?
