I already see some of this with people trying to put in "bonus video feeds" on their free sites, which open in new windows and such. They get declined 100% of the time without any thought.

If you are not adding value for the surfer (such as giving free pics, which makes your site have some value to list) then there is no reason to list it.

Convergence (video / internet / TV / movies) is something that has been talked about quite a bit since I started in this business, and every year it is "a couple of years away". Until the 20 million or so AOL subscribers get onto something faster than dialup, it will still be "a couple of years away" for most Internet users.

Sorry Alex, I dont see people adding live feeds as you have pointedout whats the benefit to the LL. Some thing will come out which falls in the middle of this weather it be cam, mobile phone etc

TV etc has been talked about and its coming - the BBC launch their first BB tv station for local regions this week - its just my view though the technology I have seen at WTM/AOE really has left me feeling that we will all have to adapt as WM's or the market will evolve and go right past us
