Si-Mi emerged on the scene late 2006 (I think), and have received some press here, here and here. With them Melbourne based (as I am), I always meant to try and catch up - but of course time flies by and now I find their site is blank with a “Maintenance” page up. Problem is that page has been up for about 3 days since I last checked.

Their tagline ‘be seen, get paid’ underlied their user-pays model of delivering higher quality video content by paying their contributors. I hope the news isn’t bad …

Update, 15/7
The news isn’t bad at all! Si-Mi are back online with a redesigned site that’s much nicer and cleaner. Rather an extended maintenance period, perhaps a host relocation. Who knows? Good to see them still kicking around.
