I'm working on a concept I believe qualifies as web 3.0 too. Change is coming.

"This same effect has already been seen on other sites. Last year Vimeo introduced its Plus service, which gives its paying users the capability to upload more HD footage, while at the same time noticeably limiting how much embedded HD playback and uploading its non-paying members were doing."

HD playback was unaffected, as we changed nothing in terms of who was allowed to watch HD. HD uploading was slightly reduced, but not by a significant amount. Just wanted to chime in on that.

The gloom of web video executives makes an interesting contrast to the movie industry, which based on recent news (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/01/movies/01films.html) is optimistic about how much consumers are willing to spend on cinema. So I wonder where premium content fits in this picture? Due to the ever growing number of TV shows, movies, etc. available legally online, one priority for 2009 is likely to be content discovery; this is our focus at Jinni (http://www.jinni.com).
