    The presentation was around the potential to monetise content from a video perspective and looking at how production companies can distribute their content across the web, so didn’t get into ROI. This wasn’t from a marketing perspective so the only metrics from a content production perspective would be more around views, reach etc, which I touched on.

    I disagree with you on not destroying media broadcast networks. It will, it might take 20 years, but it will. Video online has become mainstream in less than 3 years, going forward it is inevitable that a socially driven TV / Video delivery platform powered by the web will dominate the way we consume content

    Hi Tom, well, I was hoping to see some ’metrics’, a good ’case’ for getting an ROI on Social Media and Twitter especially. I don’t think it’s there and it won’t be. In fact the studies now from a 'behavioral' perspective have to do with 'lost hours of productivity' for employers, obsessive and compulsive 'addicts' that get side tracked by 'tweets' rather than focus on their work, web sites and email 'spammed' beyond reason, passing of 'test question' answers in college (cheating) and no viable model reflective of successful 'monetization'. Trainers are making money on this hot new trend, specifically Twitter, and you should read the attempts at research to 'quantify' the advantages. Right now, everyone get’s excited about large numbers and the potential, but really all this runs 'counter' to tradititional marketing science.
    IF I agree with you on one thing it is that 'on demand' video is going to be HOT, is hot and you are correct, there will be I believe a 'balanced' distribution of content, but it won’t DESTROY media broadcasting networks.
    Cheers
