    Huge move in my opinion. It's about time.

    $5K per episode - that's a lot of moolah!

    Very cool. I wonder how long before we see network level television offered on on the web first. Just think, we could poor our resources and pay for a whole new season of FireFly! :)

    Is it really worth it? Does anyone really care about Rocketboom?

    Well he was previously claiming $85,000 a week, so at least he's down to $15k now.

    Rocketboom view counts on YouTube are rather eye opening. 65 subscribers and fewer than 200 views per show? Wow.

    I'd describe it as a train wreck -- but videos of a train wreck would actually get watched on YouTube.

    Also: the current wave "sponsorships" aren't paid. These are freebies in the time-honored tradition of street musicians putting a few of their own bills in the tip jar.

    As if YouTube really needs to advertise on Rocketboom...
