I am sure a good lawsuit will lighten the load at heavy.

Did I mention they have “view this ad before your video” ads?

They can borrow Google’s or YouTubes unil they develop thier own, but streaming video without VCR controls is very 1996. I want my 10 years of innovation back!

They seem to be doing just fine with placed ads, paid content previews, background ads, title bar ads and embedded ads. It’s like being in time’s square, but with viral videos on the big screen!

My former colleague, David Porter, has recently waded into the blogging waters as has Mike Hirshland, a partner at Polaris VC who recently funded Heavy.com per Om. Welcome to you both. I look forward to your posts.
