The two-way Web unleashed by the blogging revolution is, and will remain, largely a textual medium. And yet we're clearly at an inflection point. It's increasingly feasible to create and share media content. If you needed special AV skills and instincts in order to do that, it would be a non-starter. But I've never been an AV guy. What motivates me to explore the subject now is a profound sense that it's ready to become part of mainstream communication on the Web. I'm not sure where this series of columns will lead, but let's take it one step at a time. [Full story at O'Reilly Network]Thus concludes the first installment of my new series of columns at the O'Reilly Network. Previously, the column -- archived here and here -- dealt with Web services, XML-oriented content management, collaboration, and a smattering of other topics. Now I've decided to use it to reflect on the various AV-related topics that I've been exploring lately. ...

Lookng forward to some practical hints and tips on multimedia blogging! From O'Reilly Network: Prime-Time Hypermedia: QUOTE In a series of columns beginning with this one, I'll review and elaborate on a variety of hypermedia techniques I've been experimenting with. I don't know beans about high-end AV technologies, so don't look for expert guidance or Hollywood production values. I come at this from the bottom up, as a web-savvy blogger frustrated by the opaqueness and intractability of existing hypermedia content. I want to be able to repurpose that stuff on my blog. I want you to be able to do the same on your blog. And I'd like to see all of our blogs enriched with original audio and video content, where appropriate. It's time to take the Web to that next level, and the means to do so are at hand. UNQUOTE The time has come to rock, and rock NOW.

Thanks Jon and thank you everyone for being smarter than my former company. This is what it's all about. The fact that Jon calls it hyperme dia is even heavier for me.

While the rise of personal video recorders like TiVo mean time shifting shows out of prime time (or, into prime time) is playing a role, new studies are suggesting that many people are simply giving up television programming for alternatives like the internet, DVDs and video games. Broadcasters were so surprised by the severity of the numbers in one recent ratings report that they originally claimed that the data must be bad. However, there's plenty of evidence to suggest that there's quite a large movement away from broadcast television. What the broadcasters still don't realize is that people are beginning to realize that they want more control over their entertainment time. They don't want to be force-fed what a producer picks. They wanter interactivity or they want choice - which goes against the entire broadcast mentality. In the meantime, the advertisers are realizing that this shift is happening, and thus are moving their advertising dollars to other venues such as the internet and video games.
