When Jack Welch starts investing in for-profit online schools, the thought that jumps to my mind, is what kind of school can other people start?
As more and more people learn how to make compelling videos, what is standing in the way of them starting their own online schools?   My answer - not much.
Here's to the New York Video School helping to give hundreds of entrepreneurs the tools they need to help teach interested people around the world more about thier area of expertise - and get pa
The Tip of the Iceberg for Video College Applications
The New York Times today wrote an interesting article today on Tufts University's decision allow videos in college applications.   The key takeaways:
Â
# Out of 15,000 total applications, 1,000 had video in the first year of the progam.

Blip.tv does content deals with YouTube, NBC and others
As part of this deal, Blip.tv will be able to place ads on thier users videos on Youtube.  The question I have is this - are they planning on sharing that revenue back with the creators of the content?   If so, we're starting to see the accelerating emergence of a money-making model for video creators who know what they're doing.
