[CoLoCo] Linux Needs Something Like This

[David Overcash]

While I think ubuntuvideo.com is a great idea, it looks like absolute crap
(in the professional sense) compared to anything else out there.  I hate to
say it, but sometimes community contribution to promoting Ubuntu hurts it
more than it helps.

Someone over at Canonical should take over it, clean it up (make it look
more like a real tutorial website rather than a blog with posted videos),
and start advertising it on google adwords to key words like "windows, os x,
mac, tutorial."

Sorry for the cynicism, but I'm confident that the number one reason Ubuntu
doesn't grow faster is due to poor or unprofessional user promotion.
