Also to convince my friends to watch video it would be easier to tell
them to go to this link "www.example.c" then to tell them to download
fireant. Just seems like people want instant gratification (you say
whats a 2 minute download...on the Internet that's a long time as you
know).
I'm not sure this is a valid point. Sure it may take 2 minutes to download FireAnt vs. loading a webpage....
But that one time 2minute download can save you hours of *waiting* on videos to download/buffer/queue/whatever
The web is more intuative to the masses perhaps, but that will change in the near future. People are going to move to wanting content delivered via subscriptions instead of them having to go to the web to see if there is something new or not (why waste my time when there might not even be anything out there).
Check out what Windows Vista is gonna do w/ RSS and it's "common feeds list". It's pretty cool - users will just need to click "subscribe" on the webpage and all the other RSS aware apps like FireAnt will just know about them. The user wont have to copy/paste/setup etc...
There will always be a place for web based services, but in the no-so-distant future the masses are gonna want content delivery to the desktop, and thats what things like FireAnt allow.
