All about Video

posted by Robin Good on Masternewmedia (abstracts only):

Online Video will affect news consumption, will change television
viewing patterns and habits, and will give ways to new forms of
entertainment and training.

The number of changes and transformations that video is just about to
bring to the online world are too many and too significant not to be
paid attention to.

So, not only I am fully confirming my belief that 2006 will be the
year that video will establish itself on the Internet well beyond its
present pioneering status, but I want to bring to the table a number
of specific innovations that will see happening and that will
definitely affect the way we use and consume video-based contents.

Those who will best understand and appreciate the key implications of
the many deep changes that video is about to enable are those that,
free of prejudice and past media views, will start to experiment,
research and ride some of these formidable forces that are powering
video media to be the most irresistible force in Web communication to
rise up to wide popularity in the coming months.
