Right now, almost nobody recognizes everything. If you want the publicity, you've got to do the legwork (and the file formats) to be recognized everywhere. I currently produce my videos in SWF for my site and most others, M4V for iPods, and high-quality WMVs for TV broadcast and Veoh. It's a

When you say it brings in the traffic, what kind of traffic are you talking about? Sometimes I wonder if people say, my traffic doubled... meaning that they went from 20 unique visitors in a day to 40. Which is likely skewed since you may have subscribers trying several different aggregators just

Also, one other point to make... seeing a spike in statistics may mean very little (or at least may be pin pointed as uncharacteristic) if that spike is not sustained or representative of sustained growth. Trend analysis is always more important than random spikes. -josh On 11/22/05, Joshua

It's hard for me to do a good analysis because I don't have great tools for it (or time or money to fool with much more than I have). I can see raw numbers of SWFs, M4Vs etc. being downloaded, and see numbers of referrals from Mefeedia and numbers of hits from iTunes (Mac and Windows reported

They probably did it for 2 main reassons: 1) so they could associate .m4vs with itunes so that whe people double click them they arent played by some other app that knows nothing about the ipod. (which is what may happen with .mp4 when there are lots more mp4 player softwares available on

The biggest reason for all this (in my opinion) is that neither FireANT nor Mefeedia have a 1-click subscribe link. Another reason is that most users (aka non-vloggers) are not aware of these apps. I assume that a 1-click button would help to promote them. iTunes on the other hand
