    This is gr8 if they host VBlogs. Just that the allocation of space and bandwidth needs to be justified well.

    Costs play a big role in this. So do my monthy fee. If the service costs too much, I may not bite!!

    That was an oh-so-obvious Renee sap pitch. ;) Fire up a web browser plug-in with a buncha video codecs and call it a revolution. V2V, one venture preying off another, Web 2.0'ish cannabilization.

    But it is still buggy, got the 'Egg on Face' error box which kicked in an automatic download of a "latest.exe" that didn't execute or do anything. And "Scrambled.exe" with outgoing connections is in very poor taste, with kick to the "fogbugz" site.

    OOPS, there's Egg on our face! The Video Egg Publisher has encountered a problem and needs to close. A log of this error will be sent to the Video Egg team so we can fix the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

    Well gee, thanks for sending that log, WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST. Where's the freaking opt-out? What other info about me did it automatically send? VideoEgg gonna be future adware/spyware? Sure has the hallmarks.
