It is true that the nature of the subject matter makes it more appropriate or not. I think the video is a good idea for folks who do not have time to read or prefer to listen.

Something I easily could have gained the identical information about via reading the RSS feed and I'm forced to watch a video of a talking head? C'mon...

Rooter or rowter, vitamin or vytamin? Colour or color, favour or favor? We've discussed it all. In reality when it comes down to web apps American spellings usually prevail. Not because Ryan can shout louder than me (he can) or even because it's a finer use of the English language (it's not) but because there are more of them than there are of us - online I mean :) Invariably because the largest slice of our audience will probably be American then we'll go for American spellings. Incidently, all our prices will be in dollars as well. Good question though! Oh James - all I can say is can, worms :)

When looking into a way to pay your users via check like google or ADBrite, what were the roadblocks?

We don’t plan on issuing cheques, as it would be too time consuming. Maybe someday, but not now.

Do you guys have to get into dealing with tax forms since you are paying people?

Unfortunately, yes. Our accountant is helping us on this one.

You give the example of Google. Isn't eBay a better example (and they use PayPal as well). Taxes would be somewhat of a pain because you have to show that you are paying money out to person B so that you are not taxed on that money as income, since it's an operating expense.
