Michael,

Yes, it’s true, it makes sense to create a “themed” community/tube

But it makes sense mostly for the community organizer/initiator that opens up the tub.

But for me, a video producer wants the max. number of views, most of the time.

I could be wrong though. We’ll see where this goes.

I find this quite compelling. It essentially gives the average person out there the power to act as “producer” of content for a web-enabled channel and benefit from controlling the content.

Heri – People do care about who visits any site and watches the content. Your comment suggests that all people want is traffic – ie. volume but don’t care who their audience is – ie. quality. That might be the way it works today, I don’t know. Don’t think so.

The model could actually lead to high quality content communities emerging around really strong producer-owners of the tube-channels. The volume game would surely die along side the quality audience that would come through.

Hmmm… I really love the idea but I wonder how long it will take for YouTube to duplicate it. Better hurry up and build lots of communities…

Ryan,

Thanks for the link. Funny, I haven’t tried myself registering and trying the ads, looks like it’s not perfect yet <- Daniel, you should have a look at it.

It’s not an error the way Neotech works we partner with canadian large scale companies to accelerate innovation. So we build a business case and we validate the revenue model with this canadian flagship beta client. After we give them an IP license for the canadian market and we commercialize the technology internationnaly because anyway the canadian market is small and it’s not our focus. So unfortunately for canadian users a big media company owns a licence of the technology in the canadian market and it’s why we can’t commercialize it here…

Have to admit this was a bit off-putting;

“Oops! Something doesn’t look right. Before continuing, take a look at the error:

We can’t unfortunately offer you a license of our software if you are based in Canada.”
