After experiencing the Apple iPod Nano commercial in HD and 5.1 surround sound I got to thinking about web video and the experience it brings. Many have said that the web will be the death of television and DVDs, but I highly doubt that. I think online video will kill television just as much as satellite radio killed terrestrial radio. No, I believe that online video is a completely different medium that will supplement traditional television and will start to actually merge into your home set-top-box.

The thing I like most about traditional web search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN is that they ask very little of me as a content creator. All I have to do is make my web site easy for to crawl by their search engine spiders. The beauty of this is that it's a fairly easy thing to do, and I don't have to change a thing if additional search engines are launched. New search engines can index my site's content and display results from my site without any additional work on my part.
