"GoChongo, which enters private beta on April 1st and public beta on May 1st, aims to be a meeting place for all aspects of entertainment.  They've essentially set up a space for people with ideas to find the people that will live them out. Others can promote content, and the rest can just enjoy it.  This is done in contest format. If you'd like to see someone doing the best sketch comedy, post it as a Producer.  Performers can submit their video, and members can rate, comment on, and vote for the best. \nGoChongo is experimenting with ad revenue-sharing, as many video hosting sites like Metacafe and Blip.tv do.  Ads will show prior to submissions (we're unsure how this will work with music and other media), and the revenue will be split amongst the Producers and Performers. Advertisers can post an idea as well.  It's a typical way to engage users and receive valuable feedback for marketers.\nGoChongo has an interesting conglomeration of networks such as YouTube and Revver.  And of course we've got to mention Bix, recently acquired by Yahoo.  While the contest aspect of GoChongo is very well laid out, the community aspects are lacking.  As there are four \"profiles\" (Producer, Performer, Promoter and Member) to take part in, creating and maintaining these could be confusing.  Actions on GoChongo are limited to what \"profiles\" you have. For example, you can't get the embed code for a video without registering as a Promoter. \nThere is also no easy way to get to others' profiles, and once you do, you'll find little information and no visual representations of the media they've been involved in.  In order for GoChongo to succeed, there needs to be more viral features. I'd love to be able to keep track of my favorite performer. Once this lack of viral growth is improved, GoChongo will be able to implement the ideals they put forth.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
