Here we are experiencing a strong and steady growth in demand as it is one truly emerging new market. Several VC&#039;s we are in contact with understand this and have not &quot;thrown in the towel&quot;. Stay tuned and let&#039;s see how it all plays out!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second coming of the DOtCom crash!

The Pendulum Swings! And the VC&#039;s head for the hills (Sand Hills?).

It never ceases to amaze me the group think (thunk) of this hoard of mostly &#039;know it all&#039; / &#039;know nothing&#039; blinkered wonders - who overvalue ad rev based start ups, pumped mindless millions $$$ into duplicate business models, and then bail when it gets tough, all too ready to throw in the towel.

Adsense or Nosense?

History does repeat itself.

Knee jerk investing strategies - one following the other - what will we see fold next - what about rev share streaming sites - and all the duplicate biz models like Hulu, Zulu, Veoh, Cinemanow, Stage6, &quot;etcetera etcetera&quot;  and the like - after throwing millions in licensing fee&#039;s to the studio&#039;s with less than expected revenue (oh really) these over valued companies run are not even covering their infrastructure costs.

&#039;Come to Jesus Time&#039; my beauties...ha ha ha
