Users can either: 1. Just watch videos and vote (which gets pretty boring pretty quickly and I can't bring myself to care about anything I've seen--has anyone?) OR 2. Compete (which requires some talent, a video camera, a friend to hold the camera, some knowhow of editing the video taken, the patience and knowledge to create an account and profile, upload the video and track visits/votes) I'm not sure there's enough of an upside for either the person watching and voting or the participant. I wish the Strutta peeps the best and hope they can find elements in their model which will make this service a success. I don't think it's there yet. Techcrunch editors: You are much more than a press release service and your readers deserve more than a mere regurgitation of a media release.
