Ah memories.

It was an amazing time. being able to watch everyone else's video  
back then.

Every... single... video... that everyone else made.

Working with Daniel Salber on FireAnt for the Mac was a great  
experience.  New features and bug fixes that I suggested were always  
implemented quickly.

Being able to work that closely with a developer was lots of fun.

Sadly the Macintosh development didn't keep up with the PC  
development and I ended up dropping FireAnt and moving to Miro.

During this period, my Mac crashed and I ended up starting over and  
subscribing to fewer feeds.

What's happening now is that I only subscribe to about 13 RSS 2.0  
feeds with media enclosures. Others I subscribe to, but go watch online.

I find many new videos via Twitter, Email, IM and Facebook.

Another thing I frequently talked to Jay about was getting the  
ability to be able to see what others using Fireant were subscribed  
to, and beyond that, see what videos they liked or recommended.

That feature would have been cool.

Good luck with Odeo Josh.  I'm interested in seeing what happens.
