I am sure it is must still be minor, but it is somewhat a chicken and egg problem. Also, like I said, if you are not concerned with Free and Open systems and works, then popularity might be the most important metric, if you are... it might make sense to support Free and Open protocols. all the best, drew David,

I am co-founder & organiser of an open source film project called www.straycinema.com. One of the main objectives of our own project is to allow as many people as possible to tell their story with our film footage, using the all powerful medium of film. It allows the editor to function as the main storyteller in film, and in turn puts them at the heart of the filmmaking process. When we were developing Stray Cinema, we considered using your website as an alternative for people who didn’t have editing software, to edit their film submissions for our competition. For various reasons we decided not to this year (mainly because we provide our finalists with high res footage so they need an editing programme with a time code to drop this in at a later date). However we think you have a great idea, not only have you created a video sharing community, but you provide people with the opportunity to change and manipulate the films on your site using your accessible editing tools. This is a huge point of difference to other video sharing websites. Oh, and your idea of sharing vids on cell phones is cool too, I actually read about that elsewhere recently. An interesting alternative for people to experience and capture media. Nice. To sum up – we like the way you think! see ya michelle Hi David.
