Got video from that trip to Japan in your closet? Could be worth thousands….
There has been an enormous amount of buzz around User Generated Content or UGC. In 2000, hoping to catch this trend, I opened the DV DOJO, a kind of video bar/cafe in the East Village in NY.

Kyle Majors writes today from KGTV in San Diego. KGTV is one of the stations in the US that we are in the process of converting to the VJ model. There has been lots written about this online in places like b-roll.net or medialine or tvspy. But if you really want to know what is happening at KGTV and places like this, take a look at Kyle’s page and his work. It pretty much speaks for itself.
