You guys are perfectly positioned for that. However, both UI and marketing story are keys for success in my opinion... Would love to learn more about this project. K Liz – thanks for stopping by:)

I think there are really interesting opportunities to build a web-based video recommendation and subscription site for video watching, but at the moment we are focusing on the editorial side. We feel like an awful lot of video could use the context that comes with a written review or explanation, and that's what we aim to provide. But you are right, we should create some kind of statement about what we think good video is. For us right now, we want to write about "noteworthy" video -- the stuff that people are talking about at the watercooler. So sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. Of course since we are not algorithmic we will also get to slide in there some things we *think* you should be discussing at the watercooler. Liz Gannes Editor, NewTeeVee Thanks for the advice!
