Techcrunch is reporting, via Jossip, that Wallstrip - one of my favorite video blogs and part of Mefeedia here - is being acquired by CBS for around $5 million. Jossip reported that the vlog has zero ad revenues, but does have a great show and some great talent (Lindsey Campbell does a great job). Congrats to Wallstrip!

As part of the videoblogging community, this brings some great validation that a great show is a great show - whether that means it is produced independently or by a larger entity. This is a sign of things to come in the vlogging space. We will be sure to do our part in helping people discover great video blogs through Mefeedia’s community discovery engine!See more in:cbs, jossip, techcrunch, videoblogging, videoblogs, vlogs, wallstrip

I recently read an interesting article in ReadWriteWeb about “Video Podcasting Comes of Age” - the core of the article was a discussion about the quality of vlogs (the Production quality, not the quality of the content). This seems like a logical step for vlogging, especially as the path to the TV becomes seamless. However, it is amazing that ON Networks claims to be “revolutionizing how video is created, distributed, and consumed” when they don’t even support MediaRSS! Let’s hope this is just due to them just being in beta. The vidoes themselves are very nice quality and I would like to add one or two of them to my personal channel on Mefeedia.See more in:mediarss, videoblogs, vlogs
