[...] CBS/Wallstrip deal that I wrote about on Monday got me thinking about how I and other people define themselves in this space. [...]

Will STBD be the new hotness? People have been wondering that about us and Galacticast for quite awhile now. I wonder how many nights it takes before you cease to be an overnight sensation and become an “about time”…

And, in the meantime, we all keep plugging away because, high-powered production deal or not, we still enjoy doing what we do. (Thank god.)

Tim thank you for stopping by and continuing the discussion. Perhaps i woreded the question poorly. By “what is the value” or deal, I meant what PRECISELY is the arrangement? As a micro media mogul in the making, I need to consider ALL viable options as i build a media business. So I suspect you and I should talk offline!

I think the main reason JETSET wasn’t mentioned in the TechCrunch article was that the TC article took most of its content from a press release Veoh put out (about a deal with us) that didn’t include JETSET. That’s just the way things happen and you can’t control what people write aout you. We feature JETSET highly in everything we do, but they were already on Veoh, so Veoh didn’t put them in their release.

As for Wallstrip — remember that they went 9 months building their audience out of their own pockets. Whenever I meet someone who can do that, I recommend they do just that. We’re not necessarily a fit for everyone — and probably especially not for people like the Wallstrip gang (who have become good friends) who are entrepreneurial and willing to start up on their own. We’re here to work with the people who think they can get bigger faster by joining up with us and having some support and collaboration. The Wallstrip deal’s like winning the lottery — and we’re glad for them — but most people are taking a big risk when they launch a show online, us included.
