Aniboom has a great creative potential but lacks in the production as it's all user-generated. We'll probably get to see productionsof higher quality on the web than flash animated stuff. A different example with good animations geared for the web is http://loko.tv/ That’s a great initiative!

I would watch a competition of animators. Imagine viewers calling in to vote for their favorites each week. Sure they wold have to already have between 4-6 shorts "in the can", but it would make a better show than American Idol and might help them find several great new shows.

Shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons cost around a million per episode, and there's just no way to recoup that type of investment yet. Blah Girls, however, is a great example of a web series - it's short and super simple. A series like that will cost between $5K and $20K per episode. That's a budget you can recoup on the web.

Mostly a dark comedy about people with eating disorders. I still don't know why they pulled the plug so quickly on it, it was really great.

Didn't FX do something similar a few years back? I think it was right before "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" aired its pilot. Twibeo? Wow...wasn't there an article on here that went over how Rejaw just went under? Looks like somebody went to Twitter and copied and pasted the page, took off the bird and put on an owl.
