Have you noticed the amount of buzz that is takin place about video?

Of course there is a lot of media attention about whether you can download one or other network program to your iPod. But in the blogosphere the attention is focused on Consumer Created Content. This is where the action is right now and will be more and more over the next two (and more) years. Will it mean the true democratization of the media? I don't think so. Old median like News Corp is sitting in the wings waiting to pick up whatever looks like it will be accretive to shareholder value, and VC's and entrepreneurs alike will be happy to take their cash!

Check out some of these offerings:

Vidiac claims to be making serious dough just from carrying Google ads. Can't be bad!

Cuts is encouraging people to sign up, without you knowing quite what it is that they are offering.

Eyespot looks like it is trying for the mash up market

Those are just three of the newcomers - and there are lots!
