I'm not sure this is a valid point. Sure it may take 2 minutes to download FireAnt vs. loading a webpage

But that one time 2minute download can save you hours of *waiting* on videos to download/buffer/queue/whatever

The web is more intuative to the masses perhaps, but that will change
in the near future. People are going to move to wanting content
delivered via subscriptions instead of them having to go to the web to
see if there is something new or not (why waste my time when there
might not even be anything out there). 

Check out what Windows Vista is gonna do w/ RSS and it's common feeds
list. It's pretty cool - users will just need to click
subscribe on the webpage and all the other RSS aware apps like
FireAnt will just know about them. The user wont have to
copy/paste/setup etc...

There will always be a place for web based services, but in the
no-so-distant future the masses are gonna want content delivery to the
desktop, and thats what things like FireAnt allow.

Everyone's an expert.  We have some cool stuff coming up, have some patience.  This stuff doesn't get developed overnight.  We know you want a web version now, so just chill and I'm sure you'll hear about it if/when we have one :).ClintOn Oct 7, 2005, at 9:01 PM, aroundtheperimeter wrote:  it seems to me as soon as google does a video aggregator.  there will be no need for fireant. sure they will be some die-hard fireant fans, but the masses will go to google if it easier to use and better. i would like to see fireant stay the leader in video aggregator's and not become obsolete.

Its very hard to use.If you want a web-based video aggregator, check our  http://MeFeedia.com developed by Peter Van Dijk, one of the other  co-founders of this group. It is hands-down the best web-based video  aggregator out there. Easy to use and has great features. Plus Peter  is a cool guy :-)This doesn't mean that FireAnt is not thinking about web-based  services -- we definitely have some stuff cooking... its just not  quite ready to show.

Check out this google link: http://www.google.com/reader/things/intro\\   The fireant would be video instead of video I just think that a web based site would be more user friendly.  As   soon as google went to web based video and got rid of the google   viewer it became very easy to use.  Listen I come here to learn and   I'm just putting ideas out there.  I love what you guys are doing!

I know what you mean. A friend of mine says she can't see my 
videos. I know that it's something simple she's overlooking. I 
thought of telling her to download FireAnt but then I went and looked at the set 
up and realized that if she couldn't press "play" and see one of my videos, 
getting FireAnt set up would be a total impossibility for her.

I didn't know about the Google reader. I'll be watching that with 
interest.
