Previously written: "Similarly, what kind of numbers would independent video podcasts do if they made a YouTube channel? That could best be answered by people/groups that have their videos both on YouTube and some non-YouTube site like blip, revver or brightcove."
Tend to put my videos up wherever, including a few on YouTube, where I get bupkiss probably because I don't socialize or market there. The temptation was to dive in and promote on YouTube but as usual, pride kept me from diving into the already-crowded pool. Prefer the wide open spaces where pioneers go - the vlogosphere. Prefer freedom & choice. Blip gives me both on all fronts, including intellectual property, format, ease of use, and where I choose to call 'home'. I'd like to see the vlogosphere spend an intensive month invading YouTube and its environs & denizens, making comment and video points concerning the freedom of the vlogosphere and what that means. Can we make February or March "YouTube Month" in the vlogosphere? Let's mash 'em up and link 'em and praise 'em like crazy. Evangelize YouTube. Concerted effort. Happy New Year!
