Bill brings up excellent points here. what is a video podcast and what is a videoblog?

"Blog" to me brings to mind all the positive, empowering things that have emerged in the last 5 years. i post a video and it adds value to the whole web. my video is link-able, search-able, archive-able, subscribe-able. I leave a comment on your video. I can download your video, remix it, and send a trackback to you. this is what has made blogging so powerful. so bottom line: i love that iTunes has gotten into the mix. let them have "podcast" or "video podcast". as ive said before...they are helping people learn a new metaphor for finding and getting video/audio. RSS is not the easiest to explain. iTunes help people SEE how RSS works in something they already have. in the next year after this world grows...people will start looking around. they'll leave the iTunes store and see what else is in the neighborhood. they'll come party with us. the videobloggers.
