Who are you to say what is useful and what isn't? The presentation from SOTM 2007 that I remember most vividly - the "wiggly maps" - was also the most useless. Every day someone says "let's not map <some detail here> because it is useless", and our mantra is "maybe it is just your limited imagination that makes this look useless". Why suddenly this very different attitude of yours? I fully agree that streaming is probably a niche thing, a nice-to-have and not a must-have, and I have no problem if the idea is treated as a small priority. But dismissing it just because your imagination is too limited...?
