LEVEL PLAYING FIELD

Posted in My Damn Channel, New Media, Old Media with tags Dot-commies, My Damn Channel, New Media, Old Media on 12/20/2007 10:50:00 PM by Rob Barnett

lpf.jpg In a world of too many sports analogies, you'll often get the phrase: "level playing field." Dot-commies use this line to help them build confidence in our fight for new democracy vs. Old Media. The field is getting more level by the minute. I've sat inside old skyscrapers long enough to see million-dollar execs sweat bullets when a few too many websites or emails dare to question their mystical ability to know what the public wants. Honesty is a sacred currency in new media. A small group of intense fans can shake skyscrapers from their foundation. The mistake too many execs make is to run in fear from fans who attack. Mass communication is a contact sport. When we first started MyDamnChannel.com, we had arguments about whether or not to let users comment and post negatively on our videos. We quickly decided before launch that we'd be doomed the minute we started editing or blocking feedback of any kind. We're planning to launch new features by Feb 1st to ensure that My Damn Channel becomes more BOTTOM UP. Keep Attacking.
