Blogs are exactly like Hollywood. Internet cafes are awash with sad and desperate looking people, all waiting for their most recent post to be "greenlighted" (which in Bloggywood means linked to by Doc Searls). Waiting 5 to 10 minutes is not uncommon. Once again Hugh you’re completely wrong.

It will simply be a bigger version of podcasting. It's not too difficult to envision that a film maker's blog will have their efforts posted onto the blog site. Via comments and traffic, the film maker will pretty quickly understand opinions about the film. If Hollywood had any vision, they would incorporate blogs into their approval process. How much simple and immediate could they glean that they have a "hit" on their hands? Simply place a 15-20 minute "pitch" on the movie corp blog site and await the feedback via comments/Technorati/PubSub. They would know if they have a hit by the comments and the level of traffic seen on Techno/PubSub. What do you think, Hugh? Make sense?

In Hollywood films go through development, committee, testing and still they produce bombs. Blogs are instant and are tests. The tests that survive - survive. Others are quickly lost and forgotten. Good blog tests take on a life of their own like gapingvoid, survive well and create a new chain of thought and new conversations Blogging is a prototype world.
