Coming Soon - VidCasting

So, by now it's a forgone conclusion that Podcasting will change the rules of audio distribution. Companies like Blinkx will help propel mass adoption by providing a searchable interface into the audio world. This will be the next big search market!

Now a tip of the hat to all the A/V geeks in the world - as soon as audio takes off, video will be fast behind. Already Yahoo Video Search is making it possible to search for video.

But the big difference between the two, at least for the moment, is that Podcasting has such a low barrier to entry that anybody can produce one, and indeed many do.

So in the meantime, how about using video clips for your own purpose and in your own way? A company like TVTonic makes it possible to grab video content and use it with your Media PC. Imagine impressing your guests with the latest movie trailers on movie night instead of showing what the studios want you to see. All on the big screen.

New models in content consumption will come as folks figure out that distribution is no longer an issue - neither for Audio nor Video.
