I've been encouraging people to use youtube just as ruthlessly as youtube is using them. Basically a lot of people like the pan are using it as an advertising platform. Putting up short 30 seconds or less teasers of an intriguing or viral nature to push their domain and their brang for their "real vlog".
There are going to be many different angles to this whole youtube thing. But it'll be interesting to see of youtube tries to stop it's own users from cashing in on it. I notice more and more large advertising and coportate accounts on youtube pushing fortune 500 brands and advertisements... is youtube going to start killing it's users accounts for treating youtube the same way youtube treats them? Or will youtube mearly bury their acocunts while pushing more huge ad agency content. Regardless I think some sort of mass exedos and even backlash is inevitable at some point in the coming year or two. -Mike mefeedia.com mmeiser.com/blog On 2/13/07, Kent Nichols <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That really sucks man. > > I think the stuff we're working on with MySpace ties in directly with > situations like this -- site proclaming to be open and community > based, but are just fronts for corporate interests. > > And if you cross one of their arbitrary lines set fourth in their > constantly evolving Terms of Use they can cancel you, or filter you out. > > I think that's the next fight -- establishing what is public space and > who "owns" it and what users rights are in this new user generated > reality. > > -Kent, askaninja.com > > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Gary Rosenzweig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > I tried to log on to our YouTube account today and got the message "Your > > account has now been permanently disabled." > > > > It was our Daily Vlog account, which is a 5-minute-per-day vlog from the > > office.
