Hopefully you guys can correct that. As for the future of PluggedIn, I agree with Jason that this site has some serious potential. YouTube is not the solution for music videos. Neither is messy Imeem. Niche market sites will rule in the end. If PluggedIn has the largest selection of high-quality music videos on the web, they will win out.

Video quality seems to be on a par with imeem.com which of course already has deals with all the record labels. Given that imeem is established, uses better quality video and shares the revenue with the labels I'd suggest that the 'Hulu for Music Videos' tagline is PR Bullshit since it's already playing catchup with imeem's 'Hulu For Music' site. That's the second music site on techcrunch today which is delivering too little too late. OK I love this
