Years ago, when I was dialing into my favorite BBS at 300 baud, I never imagined how fast technology would evolve, and what opportunities it would offer. Today cable and TV networks have seen the explosion of sites such as You Tube and Google Video and are taking notice. Several "stars" of these online video sharing services have been snatched up to develop content for the networks, which is pretty cool. Some of this content will be shown on TV, other content is being developed strictly for the web. Several examples are cited in this article, which shows how the networks are scrambling to get on the broadband video train.

This is a wonderful time for the little guy. I just hope that the networks understand the culture and embrace it. There is a reason people are turning to the internet for entertainment. There is more talent and originality in some of these videos than in most of the high budget network shows. And there is no better time to showcase your talents. There are millions of viewers waiting to see what you can do.
