		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Hi Shakir, good points. Though even though I expected it, I&#039;ve been surprised to see so many UGC sites fall by the wayside. Some days, YouTube&#039;s dominance is scary. I think it&#039;s important to look at personal video usage on sites like Facebook and Motionbox as complementary but not necessarily parallel.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Broadcast Television has been able to handle 1000&#039;s of television channels across the world, why is it so many seem to believe there should only be one such network on the internet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Such unconsidered thinking comes from those who continue to think in the dot.com bubble mindset, of first-movers etc., and that the network-effect applies beyond ebay and soc.nets, whereas it simply doesn&#039;t, not least because of the more open and sharable web, including through OpenID and FB-Connect.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That said, it&#039;s almost common-sense to move more towards professionally-produced content, but all those who aren&#039;t youtube should remember that web-video sites were around in the last decade, but what were the reasons why Youtube was able to gain so much traction to where it is now  - sometimes a great garden, needs some manure!  ; )&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Shakir Razak&lt;/p&gt;
