Video in 2007
Video in 2007: I'm highlighting a post from Stefan Richter here, where he describes how live video communication "is going to be huuuge this year". In last year's YouTube explosion we saw the shift from carefully-edited video presentations to casually-edited video presentations, from a few creators to many creators... this year we're seeing video used as just another media type, something that anyone can manipulate as well as create, right in their own web browser. In another post today, Webware has a review by Josh Lowensohn of the Octopz service, which uses a browser to mix video and other media types together... another example of the new video which is changing things so greatly this year (more). This is an extremely rapid shift in worldwide expectations -- "video" is no longer just a TV station or a film studio, and is no longer something we just passively sit and consume. The rate of evolution in video these days is dramatic.

It's the raise of the, erm, collective mind.
