ABC = DUMB.

Viewing habits are now being established…

Let Yahoo become the viewing habit and they — and their affiliates — won’t get crap online…

heh! I think its great that we can now actually start watching these shows online. It’s the smart thing to do because one way or another we’re going to find a way to watch the shows online or at our leisure time (which is easier done with a computer, then a tv).

A random thought inspired by this item: When will we all wake up and realize the very existence of “more online video” is not the panacea to all that ails our business models? Why do we assume, seemingly overnight in many of our cases, that if the picture moves, that automatically makes it brilliant, compelling content that people will seek out and slurp up as if their last meal? Yes, I know there’s plenty of current anecdotal evidence to support that theory — just as there was, lo those few years ago, to support the ideas behind gourmetgardentools.com, overnightdonutdelivery.com, and, uhm, pets.com. When will allow our rational selves a chance to weight in here?

Note that I’m sitting here writing this rant while watching my Slingbox feed in the upper right corner of my laptop screen. This fella watches plenty of video every day and is a firm believer that video can a core ingredient of a satisfying and meaningful online-content-consumption experience but, folks, the hysteria is getting downright hysterical. Am I wrong?

Is ABC being paid or are they giving away their material? Right, they are being paid. Yet ABC and others want you to give them your material for free. Don’t do it.
