ive been pleasantly surprised to see how most people pretty quickly learn how to rip those flash videos on Youtube. Its definitely a barrier...but pretty small. Looking back...it made sense for Youtube to go with Flash. I remember when Steve Chen just launched YouTube and he came to one of our "meet the vloggers" at the Apple Store in NYC. I hated the flash format because you couldnt download the video....you couldnt get the video in an enclosure. But what they did was make it so drop dead easy to publish and watch. as we're learning, there will be different levels of videoblogging. quick flash video, independent shows, HD fullscreen craziness....
