It's interesting. I find the experience of viewing a video within the original blog entry more satisfying than moving that video into an off-line state divorced from the host. When you break the vlog like that you're unable to comment, you have disconnected the media.
You can argue all you want about "distribution" meaning "put it on a disconnected device" but I call bullsh*t. It's completely valid to use flv for distribution, in fact I'd argue it's more valid since it forces the media to remain connected to the source. Now you know I've tried Fireant on mac (and sent a donation:) from early on and support your company's goal, however I think we all need to encourage others to participate and develop tools, not dismiss their efforts so quickly. I'm not using Fireant any longer, the experience is not producing any gain for me. That said, I'm not against it and might come around to using it again at some point, but vlogs feels disconnected there. It looks like a good tool for transferring media to portable devices, but when that happens the vloggyness is no more. Please don't take this as a dis to Fireant, it isn't. Just my $0.02 today. Let's encourage participation, let's be constructive when we see TOS items we would like to have a conversation about, let's be open to flv and connected vlogging, let's think about the social opportunities for vlogging. That's why I'm always asking questions and interested in hearing about new services. -- cheers r Deconstructing the status quo, collaboratively my vlog: http://r.24x7.com good deal : http://foo.24x7.com On Feb 14, 2006, at 3:23 PM, Joshua Kinberg wrote: > ...But as for distrbution of media, I don't > really see it there.
