I wrote a piece for Worldchanging.com about this (and more) last night. It's quite lengthy - I feel like this time maybe I need Mike Meiser to edit for me. :) Anyway, the gist of the article is that we cannot overestimate the value of how this all shakes out and videobloggers' role in the whole thing. As mainstream media makes its way online, we need to to work with them (and the technology companies) to ensure that the rules and standards that come out on the other side of the old/new media combination works well for everyone. Anyway, I'll probably post the piece later today. I'll let y'all know when it's up.
