This comment just came across the transom:
you used to post more and better videos. go back to that format please.
Even though that comment is in part critical, I actually couldn't agree more with it, and the good news is that is exactly what I'm working on, behind the scenes. Although DKTV beta is now out, there's tons of work left to be done to get it ready for prime time, and if youi've noticed my posting schedule being relatively light -- that's the reason. As somebody said to me: you gotta' build the house before you paint it, and right now I'm still building. I am super enthusiastic about where DKTV is heading, however, and I'm looking forward to it being up and running, and of course cross-posting videos here and at Daily Kos itself. I find myself fighting off the impulse to dive into a new video (for example, I'd love to do one showing Boehner and McConnell three weeks ago vs. today), but I want to get DKTV right first. A few folks have written me asking "why not just post to YouTube.?" Well, the reason is simple: YouTube (thanks to Viacom) deleted both my JedReport AND Daily Kos accounts because of three short videos claimed by Jon Stewart's show (at least two of which relied on footage from other channels). Combined, these videos had maybe 10,000 views, tops (and probably less), compared to about 20,000,000 video plays that I've had over the last year or so. Since Viacom has ensured that YouTube is no longer a viable option, I'm spending the time on DKTV to be an even better alternative for posting videos.
