Hey Dal, well there may be no Ebert and Roeper's for the online video space just yet, there are a few worth noting.

The biggest and most influential one is likely http://station.newteevee.com, and then there is http://www.tilzy.tv, and through Twitter with Daisy Whitney tinyurl.com/5dvfxh.

A smaller and very new one is online-video-reviews.com but the site is currently down.

Hope this information is of value to you.

Re: SONY PICTURES ACQUIRES EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE CROSS PLATFORM DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS TO ROCKETBOOM

A very nice story, and an inspiration to entrepreneurs to never give up if you truly believe in what you're doing and your passion for your work grows with each passing day.

I'm not sure I'm convinced that this is an unprecedented deal in the space but it does help to revalidate its future.

I'm sure both Sony and Rocketboom will enjoy great synergies and successes through this deal.

Re: Twitter Cuts Overhead, Raises Money

You have to wonder if people don't want to pay for Twitter, and then go to a free service, how long can that free service keep going without a business model. Is Twitter going to run into the same problem as XM/Sirius where there is no profit in sight, but the attention and interest is there?

I think Twitter should go to some sort of an ad solution, keep it free for users, and allow the corporations to market their brand and help to save Twitter. Imagine how hardcore Twitter users would feel about the "hero corp." saving Twitter!

I'm sure someone or some company will step up and keep Twitter going before anyone has to pay $5-10/month for the service.

This also reminds me a bit of Wikipedia where they were almost going to shut down. I think it's good that people are aware of problems like these, because a solution is always just around the corner.
