Niche CGM Gains Footing

I think one of the larger growth areas in the CGM/On-line video world is in niche user video sites.  Youtube and Myspace have everything, a great mass of stuff so finding little gems takes a bit of work, but the randomness pays off. But if you are into a specific subject, then niche sites make alot of sense. Take BoardRideTV for example. A site focused on user vids of skateboarding, snowboarding and general x-gamish behaviors. If you are into that (and can get around the overuse of the fisheye lens effect), why not go to a place that aggregates it, comments on it and curates it for you. And if you are an advertiser, you know you have a committed user base, albeit smaller than the general one at the big sites.  I think this will be an interesting category to keep an eye on, so stay tuned.
