Video Scripts and Google

I've been considering setting up video sites using a tool such as Prismotube, as I've heard positive things about it and video is getting more popular all the time. However, I was wondering how this type of site will fare with Google's new campaign against autoblogs/content farms. I realize this usually refers to sites that publish duplicate content in the form of articles, but what about automated video sites? I've tried various WP plugins in the past and found that autoblogging by itself wasn't very effective for ranking, even before this latest announcement by Google. But Prismotube is a little different and I wonder how SEO friendly this type of site is. Does anyone have an opinion or experience with this?

    in the end, the SE's follow people. So if you market it well with a good USP (no pre-roll commercials ever!) and people actually start using it, you could do well.

      But Google still has general policies that go beyond how you market an individual site. I'm talking about getting this type of site ranked.

        Video is popular, but nothing beats pure, plain, simple text for content
        that actually matters most. That's what you really should concentrating
        on. Great text content, with a video. Not saying video is bad or can't
        rank, but you would be doing nothing new and would need an edge.

        If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
