Techcrunch crunches some numbers today and concludes that online video is hardly the revenue stream once thought --- more like a trickle than a full-flowing river of gold.

Analog dollars into digital pennies, as one network executive calls it. Sounds like a familiar refrain. Print experiences the same ratio of about 10:1 in revenue for conventional and new media distribution of the same content.
