I have applied to become a Media Blogger officially, though I think a content analysis would indicate I am a media blogger. I was attracted to this group because they banded together to help find mirror sites and ways to help serve the various tsunami videos shot mainly by amateurs (victims?) The cost of serving hundreds of terrabytes of data mounts up. It could end up being one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments if one's blog got its 15 minutes of fame but it ended up costing you $10,000 dollars. I am still trying to figure out why the costs mount up. Is it really that costly to serve lots of video, or is it that hosting service contracts are written so they can charge you so much?
