I agree with sk I don’t really see why you think it will fail. When people turn on the TV stuff is pushed on them. Something may fail or not. I just go through and watch what I like. This is slightly different as it is next to content I want to see (family guy fan site or tv.com website) and then they play it if I want to watch it. It would seem I would have a better job of finding content I would like this way than on TV where it uses context to display videos I would like (kind of the way Tivo would pick shows for me to check out).

you’re saying that cavalcade could be successful in spite of distribution method, not because of it. that could be said of any successful media. just because CBS broadcasts a show to 90mm homes doesn’t guarantee success (shows get yanked after one or two episodes all the time). likewise, just because cavalcade is distributed via google adsense doesn’t guarantee failure. regardless of the notion (which i agree with) that broadcast and the web distribution models are inverted forms of one another, you’re ultimately saying that great content will be always be found and consumed, probably in multiple ways. so, why do you predict that this will ‘fail utterly?’

So do you think the mature women are using Ask.COM instead of Google.COM?

And will Barry Diller be allowed to pick up .ASK? Who's on FAQ? What's on CIA? I dunno -- .GOO

So, what is the main difference between Google Content Network and a simple AdSense Video ad? That Google takes more money of it.
