BrightCove, an Option for Vloggers?

The Flash on the home page sucks ass. Way too much time to load, then for me at least, my computer thinks I'm not doing anything and disconnects my internet access. (So I kept an alternate page going trying to keep the connection alive) Nevermind that it takes an eternity to move from screen to screen. And why is it exactly that we have to have a gazillion things to do before we post our video?

OK. I understand and can even appreciate the BrightCove Publishpod, saves their servers from having to convert all this video. Good idea.

It automatically Uploads! Great!

So what the fuck happened with the web console? Step by step only works sometimes. From an uploaded video to the Titles to the Lineups. Then nothing is there when I try to make a Player. Not only does that piss me off and waste my time, but why the hell are there that many steps?

Sorry, I'm new to this whole Vlogging thing and used Brightcove cause I heard it's a bunch of local boys from Boston/Cambridge.


Y'know, Gotta Represent!

Then again I made a Vlog and tried to upload it, Brightcove only pissed me off. I wished I hadn't lost all of my passwords to all the other video sharing sites in my move. My Vlog will have to wait for another day.

Brightcove promises ad revenue from hits/views, I remember another video site promising the same thing in the pre 2000 bust. Can they pull it together? Will Brightcove ever deliver?

Truth is I'd like to see it. The future of media is here online. If they play it right. Maybe they only care about creating a startup that will be gobbled by Google. So far they can suck my balls until they steamline the upload process.
