You know... I actually agree with you... but it's compeltely besides the point. Because I think it's argumentative... and what's more the other 9.99999% of the planet will have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about... including 90% of the people in this group unless you explain it to them every time... and probably 5% of the final 10% in this group will disagree... But I agree with you... it's a great thing to talk about if that's your intention... if however your intention is to discuss the merits of such a system as having only a video feed... however... we're failing miserably. :) > I'm starting to see web pages that have NO VIDEO on them.

I'm seeing the same thing too... I'm also seeing some that do have a corresponging web blog... but the thing I find most disturbing about this is that they have created their feeds ONLY for itunes and have submited it NOWHERE else. What I've been doing... is... since I'm using mefeedia to manage my ipod compatible subscriptions is I went into itunes podcast directory... did a search for "video" and then started sifting through just the feeds I found interesting. I found that the majority of just the ones I was curious about aren't even in mefeedia or anywhere outside of iTunes... some don't have a link to their RSS feed even on their site they just say 'subscribe with itunes' and have a cryptic itunes url... some like the Washington Post seem to have absolutely no web page or presence anywhere outside iTuens... I couldn't even find a mention on the entire Washington Post website... BUT I'm always able to get info on the feed after I subscribe to it and view the url... I then type it into the "add a new feed" input on mefeedia and add it to my subscription queue... they all work in mefeedia... and what's more by my adding them to mefeedia more people can discover them there and because mefeedia shares new feeds with other services through an open XML data exchange. It's a curious thing iTunes has done... they've introduced people to vlogging who have no idea whatsoever what vlogging is about... they just want their videos in iTunes. Blarg... funny as hell.
