Video on the Web

As our own Pete Leyden would say, the web has gone 2.0.  The NYT has an excellent update about the state of the internet and the increasingly important role of video:

"...the world has gone batty over video. Thirty-second clips, three-minute spoofs, half-hour sitcoms, TV dramas that haven’t been shown in decades, rap videos, Hollywood blockbusters and feeds from TV news outlets big and small are flooding online. The term video itself is already starting to sound old — the equivalent of songs before the advent of MP3’s and downloads."

Progressives need to understand this technology, and how we can use it to get our message out.  If you've been wondering what Apple iTV, NBC Broadband, Google and Yahoo are up to in this space, this article is a good way to get up to speed.
