I still haven't seen a good implementation of Internet video yet. YouTube is great for the one offs, the funny things that people catch on camera. But as Google has discovered, it is difficult to make money out of that stuff. Only live streaming is available, too bad if you're on the train on the way home. There is little support for following a 'program'. If you want to see if a content producer you like has done something new, you have to visit YouTube. On the plus side, YouTube has made it fantastically easy to publish work, and to embed stuff in other web pages - most of my viewing of YouTube clips is done because I see the clip on some other web page. Hulu is only available in the US, and it only offers live streaming. Again, too bad if you want to watch somewhere when you are out and about. After all the effort that we have put into time-and-place shifting our media, this feels like a big step backwards for me. Podcasts allow you to watch offline, and they allow you to easily follow when new episodes become available. But there is no service offering impromptu YouTube-like serving of clips - you see a cool episode of a show that you want to share on your blog, then you're out of luck. From the Content Provider's perspective this is a problem too - having people embed your clip on their webpage is the best advertising you could wish for if you want people to subscribe to your podcast. The whole subscribing thing is important too when it comes to obtaining advertising dollars - you'll have much more success negotiating a price for ads in your podcast if you can show that you have a large audience already subscribed.
