Cross Media week touched on this issue in a session led by Gabe McIntrye of xolo.tv. Xolo is suddenly a multifaceted business so cutting to the quality content chase takes a detour. Gabe makes vlogs for clients. That’s one line of business. See here at vlogbymini.de, a multilingual site all about the mini and mini...
