I say they should go for it. I probably won’t pay any attention to this particular project, but whether it succeeds of fails, somebody else can take the idea and improve on it and give us something that we’ll actually use.

“There is a nagging public sentiment that when content is too gussied up it means the content itself isn’t any good.”

Where exactly are you seeing or hearing that sentiment? Is it among the Internet savey like yourself or the folks that read People magazine?

I don’t think there is any “cashing in” from the internet–not Hollywood money anyway?

Its new, its exciting, its not exclusive. I would be surprised if they weren’t, but showBUSINESS is half business and the money thing will control in the end.
