I'm talking about a actual tube site with real user created and user uploaded videos in mainstream. I'm not going to give away what I'm wanting to do. But I'll give you a basic idea of what I'm thinking here.

Lets say there is a group of people that like using a certain kind of widget and they like to make videos and pictures of it. There is also lots of businesses built around this widget, people who build them, people who make parts or have services for them. A very large industry is built around it.

I then build a tube style site that allows these users to show off their widget pictures and videos. They can show them off because they just like to show them off, or they can show them off to generate customers to buy the widgets or maybe someone just wants to teach others how to make these widgets. It's up to them how they use it.

So I'm using the youtube format to allow these people to show off their widgets and share ideas ect..ect. I build up a nice user base of people whom are into these widgets.

I then have a lot of very specific widget oriented traffic with a lot of potential big dollar advertisers whom want to market specificially to these lovers of the widget. I know there there is advertising dollars and users that would use the site, but I'm just kinda unsure if I could make a profit after the B/W costs of running a site like this.
