MARKETS GOING TOTALLY TUBULAR...?

It seems everyone wants to be the "Next Youtube..."

But is "video sharing" really the next big thing...? I don't think so.

It's perhaps the next "so-so" thing or the next "what-next-thing"....

But BIG thing?...not really...

Most "user generated" videos tend to be basically the same...boredom sets in fast...been there done that. I mean even the major networks have a hard time producing anything "watchable" these days! And they have nearly unlimited spending power...

And a lot of this is targeted at the fickle youth market...where tastes change faster than fashions and "favorite beers."

Videos may share space with the blogs eventually...

Actually I think of video sharing as blogs for people who can't write in complete sentences... Or who can't spell...

But if you've seen "spelling" on the Internet lately...it's becoming another language in the making...!

Internetese!

As long as the markets finance this nonsense on the Internet...with over sized, high share prices...every small advantage will seem like the "next big thing."
