ShoeTube, a promising mainstream site

As you may all know, after YouTube's success many other sites tried to copy that idea, so many different somethingTube appeared online. Most of them are just a bad copy of YouTube and don't really have any chance to survive for long (to run a free site like that you need to start by having a LOT of money...) but sometimes... there are a few sites that actually have a chance.

That's the case of ShoeTube. Proclaiming itself the "most exciting thing to happen to shoes since Carrie found those coveted Manolo Blahniks in the closet at Vogue," it should be obvious how magnificent this site is going to be. The primary draw will be its broadcast quality programming, with just a dash of user and sponsor created content. Considering that the site is produced by Powderhouse, which is behind a number of shows for the likes of Discovery Channel and TLC, the production quality of the content may be a cut above average (you can have a preview of the content at their Shoetube.tv Media Kit).

The site is slated to launch in February 2008, with a slew of professionally penned blogs, editorials on shoe trends, and "tons of other community features."

So don't tell me you actually don't understand why i am talking about this site... yes... i'm pretty sure there will be a ton of interesting videos for people with a foot/shoe fetish like us... so... something to keep an eye on!
