And, at least from an international point of view, Im perhaps more interested in those who 'make it' and dont cross-over.
If Ask a Ninja signed some TV deal, what good is that to me in the UK? That means at best I can watch their stuff months later if its picked up by a uk tv network? Wheras Ask A Ninja got that nice lucrative advertising deal didnt they, and as far as I know this means I can still watch them wherever I am (even if i hate ads, at least I have the option). Its funny how rarely I see the international dimensions of net video being discussed in the mainstream & especially business press. They throw all these huge numbers around concerning ad revenue, but I dont see all that much talk about the implications of having global audiences as well as relatively localised ones. Sometimes I wonder why the large companies that have global products & brands, dont see more in these opportunities, although of course I could be overstating things as I dont know what %age of a typical popular USA vlogs audience is in the USA.
