I don't find that to be true, though I haven't tested all aggregators. I can view my own SWF vlogs directly in FireANT and (as of recently) Google Reader. Would be happy to test with more if someone points me to them.

welcome to the group!
if you want to be able to let people see your vids using an aggregator, flash is not the way to go...although i understand fireANT can read them, most others can't.
Here's the issue, there are four ways to do it:
1. Post just a .flv file - this will work with aggregators but you won't have a player on your site. (I believe fireant includes it's own player).
2. You can post a .swf with the .flv embeded. This works in aggregators (as long as they can play flash).
3. You can post a .swf with an absolute link to the .flv, ie http://yourserver.com/video.flv - this works but what happens is that just the .swf file gets syndicated and on playback it connects to your server and downloads the .flv
4. You can post a .swf file with a relative link to the .flv ie - /video.flv - the problem here is the .swf gets syndicated and then on playback it can't find the .flv
I don't know which services do it the 4th way with the relative link but last time I checked quite a few did - like YouTube.
