I'm not saying the Vidly guys are not going to be successful at all. I'm just skeptical that "HD video for twitter" is a good idea, or a profitable one (Unless twitter aquire to pump the bubble some more).
I'm sure they'll likely iterate on the idea, but I think feedback is always useful. I really don't see how you can claim it's "trolling" to give feedback on an idea. That's what makes HN useful IMHO.
If we want "That's nice dear, what a great idea" we go to our parents... surely?

It translates as: * I think this idea is risky (building on another startup with no clear business model) * I don't see the value add (already exists) I expected a reply saying why it's not as risky as it seems, and how they're doing something fundamentally different from all the other video sharing sites out there. Sometimes we all take shortcuts when giving feedback. Sorry if it was taken as a snipe, insulting or a trollish comment.
