Cisco on video
Cisco on video: Paul Kapustka at GigaOM reports: "Cisco CEO John Chambers just said that 'if there is a killer app, it is video,' as part of his keynote speech kicking off the Cisco C-Scape analysts conference here." InformationWeek has another quote: "YouTube could well be a rounding error in terms of total video load on the network in five years." I think this is true, because even static TV-style video reaches people in deeper ways that other media can. But I don't think we'll be satisfied with static, one-way, TV-style video... sites like YouTube are already adopting two-way video commenting, and people like Grant Skinner are already showing how interactivity and graphics can combine with video feeds... we're just at the very start of blowing past TV-style video through the WWW today. The ways we use video are about to undergo very rapid change, I think.

@JD, on the subject of video I've created a little something to help make it easier to make a video interface in Flash.
I guess you could call this is my Christmas present to the Flash community.
