But my point is this... its silly to only support QT or WMV but not
both.... and this includes Flash, and Real too...
Not everyone publishes content in your format of choice. If you do a
Yahoo! video search you come up with all sorts of formats. There is no
clear standard and there may not be for a long time. We have the
opportunity to make tools that are format agnostic. Its not easy to
do, and this is somewhat by design -- but this the goal.
I happen to think this is one of the best ways to actually spread
videoblogging...
Your choice of format (or lack thereof) should not dictate whether or
not you can participate.
