I'm surprised it's taken this long for the Flickr of video to emerge. Granted, personal video is nowhere near as ubiquitous as photos but having seen how successful Flickr was at pioneering photo sharing, and knowing full well that video will be as big, or bigger than digital still photography, why hasn't someone grabbed this opportunity by the horns? My Ruby on Rails education is progressing. Eventually, either through my own development or through the right partner, I hope to launch a video sharing app for Canadians on Video.ca. I've been approached numerous times by companies who want to put a internet-movie order service on it like Netflix, Zip. But after seeing how poorly run those types of businesses are, and in lieu of the fact that all physical distribution of media is a dying industry, I'll stay from that type of service offering.
