"Undermining my electoral viability since 2001."

Next Gen Video

While Google Video and YouTube are casting the widest net for video content online (and MySpace and others are gunning for a more personal view on things), I think the real services to watch are the ones with fucking revenue sharing. Three I noticed today: eefoof.com, lulu.tv and revver.com.

These are where the action is at: if these business models mature, we should hit a tipping point at which it becomes economically viable for small and efficient home/hobby producers to make the leap into some stage of "professional" production, funded by the revenues from their viewers.

This is what the entertainment industry most fears: a population that can amuse itself.
