To clarify my google point at the end, here is my half-baked thoughprocess on this one:
One of the things that made vlogging emerge was RSS, which opened the doors not only fo rthe podcast-type viewwer subscription thing, but also for sites and services to work with eachother without rocketscience. So Im just a wondering if the same could be said for google's OpenSocial (http://code.google.com/apis/opensocial/ ) I mean there are clearly positives about social networks, and although it has many other uses, it could also be used to enable video to be used much more intelligently by large numbers of people, and for content creators & social network members to be less reliant on one service, less inside the walled garden, and more where we need to be? A simple example would be that if you make videos about niche subject, they could be very tightly integrated into existing social networking groups of people who are interested in that subject. Your potential audience, already together and making a community, now being intimately connected with your stuff. Any thoughts on this or related stuff?
