Bob Cringely makes another really good point
I have been reading Bob Cringley over at PBS for the last 10 years and he has always managed to amaze me with his insight. Here is another great one this week.
The problem with advertising in online video is that it has been limited to pre-roll and post-roll (just before and just after the show), which doesn’t work to the advantage of shows like NerdTV that can be more than an hour long. This is the biggest single reason for YouTube’s 100-megabyte limit on the size of submitted videos.
I maybe a bit slow but the YouTube business model is coming clearer. It is a giant short form ad network with pesky 4 minute videos in the middle of the valuable pre and post advertising.
Still not worth $1B until they can prove this works. Valley Wag has their view of the world.
