Thanks Sull, Loved your ideas. BTW, i just posted a message about the Nokia 770... It's a good example on this focus of a "information device". Not really a communications device so much, but an information device. Video is a part of that, but not everything. It's about information, communication and access. Sometimes simply having access is all one needs. Basic connectivity. To each other, to knowledge resources, to news media, email, all these things. That's what the nokia 770 represents that the $100 laptop does not get. Perhaps the Nokia 770 isn't that perfect device either, but maybe if it can do some decent AV communications it just might be. Simple access is the "sweet spot" this Nokia 770 is aiming at. In this context even being able to type, or respond is secondary. But anyway, we do have a long, long way to go in bubbling up, in bridging the gap between mainstream media and in personal communications. It's a HUGE new space. We have a huge amount to learn and indeed that may consume us for 5 - 10 - 20, even 50 years. That's not actually to shocking when you look at the fact that all the top internet services are sites for "finding" such as google and yahoo. We've still got a long, long way to go before the "space" is significantly developed enough that every website and service has enough fundability to get us to where we want... and that's just the world of text. The world of video, image and audio is going to be a much, much longer and harder road. So yeah, perhaps I am getting a head of myself about portable media, but on the other hand most of the world does not spend even 1% of their day in front of a computer. We're the exception. We have to bring the internet and it's utility to them. In fact those of us who do spend 8+ hours a day in front of the computer seriously want to step away from it and find other activities, or at least we're looking for alternative ways to access the internet that don't involve sitting in front of a computer. Perhaps at least some of those alternative hours will be for passive media consumption... hence why the TV still has significant draw. Hence why perhaps why we think vlogs might work in a passive experience on TV... BUT maybe vlogs will never work on TV or only in very limited capacity.... Maybe there's no passivity to this new media.... Maybe the only opportunity to get internet media on TV successfully is for internet TV to get more TV-like going from 3 minutes to at least 15 or 30 or an hour. However... I feel once we have the devices and platforms to bridge these gaps between the computer and TV we'll see content rapidly shift to fill the gap... the same way we've seen 10000 podcasts spring up in a year in this new podcasting medium. The content is the given, getting hardware and interfaces the hell out of the way is the hard part.

All this is to say if 2005 was about developing trusted source and mechanisms for bubbling up media, 2006 is going to be about the manifestation of video blogging into the real world through hardware... getting that media out of the box. The Akimbo and iPod are the first manifestations of things to come. A certain sort of validation for what we've accomplished so far. True. I think that for at least the first half of 2006 the focus will still be mostly on content filtering. I think the portability of media will of course remain a hot topic as the video iPod continues to be buzzed and people come to grips with the idea of media on the go. Then the idea of shifting the attention we give Internet Video from computer screens to TV screens may be more relevant 2nd half of 2006.... Even if the new mac mini is already out by then. And this is going to be interesting.... History has been rough on the Internet-on-TV stuff.... but its time is clearly coming into fruition. Still, let us not forget how many people are in front of computer screens day and night. Laptops, Tablets and desktop puters will always be relevant and significant. Most people consume media on the computer and if their will be any shift, as in hub-less media aggregation, it wont be warp speed and we'll have plenty of time to talk about it ;) Then there will be a time of a more balanced mix of how people consume media... but not quite one medium leading the way.... Further off, we'll see portable devices start to saturate the markets as they will continue to be comparable to the power and usefulness of their ancestor puters. That may or may not include a cell phone ;-) Desktop aggregator software, in order to sustain high relevance into this future, should provide applications to run on computers as not only stand-alone but also be integrated as an extension to the next generation of Internet Web Browsers... and be able to be installed on portable devices. babble_out. sull On 11/29/05, robert a/k/a r <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice post (again!), MM. > > This piece linked below by another MM -- Michael Massing > <http://www.nybooks.com/authors/71> -- may provide you'll with a bit of > inspiration to get your vlog on. > > > The End Of News: > http://www.nybooks.com/articles/18516 > > > > cheers > r > > -- > <URL: http://r.24x7.com > > Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively > > > > > On Nov 29, 2005, at 1:07 PM, Michael Meiser wrote: > > > Also, of course...
