Things are taking shape: Beet.tv

Beet.TV: Believe it: The Video Revolution is Here

This group seems down-to-earth and aware of video as content (not just entertaining moments of dancing Christmas lights or dorm room pranks). If a picture is worth a thousand words, it only stands to reason that 30 frames a second has more potential to inform, educate and persuade.

The interviews seem newsworthy and heart-felt. I am drawn to hearing the CEOs and VCs do their own reporting on their own views. They know they are documenting their own voices with their own voices, and are willing to stand behind what they say.

We are disintermediating the editorial function and I can't think of an endpoint to this trend.
