not all aggregators are desktop aggregators that download media. aggregation does not have to mean that. aggregation is also mefeedia and vlogdir etc... and if you bundle all aggregator services, then fireant is not the first to support flv ;-)

Stickam distribute the FLV files? It doesn't look like it does...
FireAnt is still the only aggregator around that supports playback of
FLV (not many people choose to implement FLash in such a distributable
way though... usually Flash is used to lock content onto the page
instead of letting it flow and become distributed).
FireAnt also supports direct links back to the blog source for
commenting and keeps all the RSS information in tact (unlike iTunes),
so I don't really get your comments there about disjointedness.
Like I said, different tools support different user behaviors. FireAnt
is a great tool for consuming lots of video from distributed sources.
I'm not just saying that because I'm one of the creators. I'm saying
that because its not uncommon for our users to be subscribed to 50-100
different video feeds.
Hey, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks... your question had to do
with whether Stickam had value to videoblogging, i still don't believe
it does. For other applications, maybe so.
