   Frank,

   I eembedded a couple of your InRamble videos into a post on my front page at www.newyorkminuteshow.com. That should be good for a few hundred extra views.

   The short videos are interesting. But for heavens sake don’t hang out with those video2.0 people. I’m not digging the superior vibe that I get from many of those folks.

   I don’t think that syndicating automatically to all those sites via TubeMogul is such a good idea. Your audience is going to be fragmented. In order to make money you need to build a strong audience in one place.

   I’m listening but I must admit that I’m listening less know that each file is 90 minutes and up. What happens is I get cut off in the middle and by the time I think to come back the next episode is out. Twenty minute episodes are definitely better.

   Cheers,

   Rob

   Rob,

   Thanks for the post!

   The “Video 2.0″ culture has a really different vibe than the podcasting world. But you can’t deny there is something amazing happening right now in the world of online video, and I don ‘t want to ignore it.

   I think part of what is so cool about the Video 2.0 thing is that so many sites out there will host and distribute your videos for free. I kinda dig this wild, chaotic trash heap that you dump your videos onto and they churn and reproduce and fly all over the place. With almost no effort on my part Inramble has gotten thousands and thousands of views on tons of different sites. I don’t see any downside to this.

   I am trying to keep The Overnightscape episodes shorter… though it’s not always easy. But I understand longer episodes are not as easy to listen to.

   Frank
