To the best of my knowledge iTunes only supports their own RSS extension, not Media RSS. Don't get me wrong, I like Media RSS and was pretty active when the original spec was being formulated, but it hasn't gotten wide adoption (yet). >> "Video podcasting" does not apply to products like fireAnt that allow >> the blog and feedback that makes a videoblog. > > You're right I did not address the interactive potential of video > blogging.

Videoblogging is not a push medium (if it was it would not be blogging), and you have to stop thinking of interactivity as 'flying pigs' and Other Stuff You Can Click On. There are other types of interactivity. In the most basic form video is placed on blogs. Viewers click from blog to blog and connects the pieces into wholes.

The computer is an interactive experience - if you force tv on it it gets really boring really fast. Videoblogging isn't about copying the tv concept to the web. There are over 22 million blogs tracked by Technorati. People do want to create content that fits into an interactive enviroment and they do want to consume it because it is valuable. It's not tv, and if you try to force a tv concept on it you will fail. Adapt video to the blog concept and you will succeed. - Andreas -- <URL:http://www.solitude.dk/> Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. ------------------------ Yahoo!
