Heh. I definitely didn't expect to be Exhibit A in that article... I agree, it's not so much a phenomenon or trend, at least not any more so than home pages, blogs, and other online forms of expressions are often abandoned or fade away. (Which is why we took the more drastic approach.) There's just a nifty name for it.
The 43 Folders blog had an interesting response: http://www.43folders.com/2006/02/07/podfading/ And I think we can carry it over to videoblogs. Just as podcasters get grief for trying to "re-do radio," I think a lot of videobloggers/video podcasters are being pigeonholed as trying to "re-do TV." One one hand, those paradigms have merit, and definitely help folks new to podcasting/videoblogging get a handle on what we're doing. But I definitely don't think we're specifically trying to do the same old thing -- many of us just start with the conventions and formats because we're familiar with them, because some people expect them, and yes, some people like them.
