word to the tempo button. doubling the speed of stuff like webmaster radio means i can get through material that much faster w/ the same comprehension

Amen. People keep throwing the word ‘video’ around to try and get VC money.

Video might work when we all have gigabit fiber. Until then, please give me text comments.

Amen. I think video is WAY overdone in general. The last thing I want to see is somebody’s mug (unless she’s hot) talking about something that can easily be typed out. Videos tend to be way too long and most people aren’t good on camera anyways.

The worst is now instead of downloadable audio, we have streaming video which is just two guys talking and showing a powerpoint presentation that only has one slide.

i still think the zong payment thing Loren is using is gold. and there is always room for one guy doing it in an awesome way (video ie). because *sometimes* you feel like watching a vid post. just not always. and there might even be room for one good vid comment spot on the social web. but, it is not going to spread like wild fire. and i agree, because people that surf, while working, which is a lot of regular blog readers, (counter-intuitively) are very productive. and feel it when they spend too long on a site or a post.
