It is I, the Blog Neglector! I really need to start writing about some of the stuff that we've been doing! We are in some crazy times! Prepare for some horn-tooting, because, well, who the hell else is gonna do it?!
Yesterday we found out that JETSET, which we always called "the little show that could," is no longer such a little show. We surpassed 1,000,000 views for the month of September, which is a nice milestone.
That we have been able to sustain and grow JETSET is a major source of pride for Zadi and myself. Throughout the 16 months we've been posting JETSET shows on the web -- 80 as of next Monday -- we've always been proud that we have been able to make a malleable format that is always growing and changing.
And we are really only scratching the surface of the untapped potential of JETSET.
In the next few months, we will roll out a new website for the show, at least one spinoff show, a JETSET blog, and something I'll save for a surprise so as not to turn it into the proverbial jinx. We are also going to step up our production values big time.
There's not really any time to rest on our laurels because there is so very far to go. We have an industry to try and impact and an awful lot left to learn. Trust me, we have our eyes and ears open.
I always say that JETSET has flown under the radar of the people who keep tabs on the so-called prominent web shows that are out there. You won't find us mentioned in the Wall St. Journal, The New York Times, Techcrunch, BoingBoing, or any other mainstream publication or blog. Nope, we just keep making quality shows that take advantage of what the web has to offer. We cultivate a community of viewers that never ceases to amaze us with their passion and endless invaluable contributions. We find great people to work with like Rick Rey, Annie Tsai, Eric Rey, and Barrett Garese. Our friends pick us up when we need it, and we try and do the same for them. And we have never let anyone or anything stand in the way of the things that we know are right for us and for the show.
Never wait. Never ever. If there's something that needs to happen, go out and make it happen. Make them have to keep up with you, not the other way around.
Oh, and if you were one of the million-plus who watched in September, thanks!
