I love what you've written. It is the people that matter, and when those bonds form you want to keep in touch with those people, wherever they wander. It is always a challenge of time, and comfort of the place that makes the video web challenging.
When a place is small and you feel like you are "hanging out with friends" it's easy to be vulnerable and share the lows as much as the highs. When the place becomes big I get a bit more selective on when I chat and what I chat on.
Also if the people move on, I want to go hang out with my friends and being regular on 2, 3, 4 services is just more than I can fit in on a regular basis.
I'm glad I'm still catching the winds of where people are wandering even as I've been in an over extended hibernation mode, and it's good to see these concerns and ideas discussed.

Of course a bird with no wings would be a kiwi...or a dodo. We need all 3 parts.

Great post, there is a lot of quantity out there. The challenge I see is when heading out the door how do you get to quality. Throwing crap against the wall obviously isn't the answer.

On the other hand, it is possible to worry too much about the quality of what you are going to produce and never get out the door.

For example, with videos I was hesitant to do them at first - what quality would i have? But I started with a goal to get to a level of quality, I know my first videos had marginal quality but, given people's responses over time they've developed quality. It's still a process obviously - I'm working on getting the setup for the next level, but I started with pretty rough material.

Starting out with quality is great, but if it means there will be no start (due to waiting for perfection) there's a problem. Perhaps the best answer is to start with a goal of quality and realize that there will be a journey to that destination.
