		<description>Hi Fred,

I take your point, but of course originally I think you said "several", and now "couple" - 2?  If you're saying that YT is the biggest thing on the web since YT, that may well be true.  But my point was more to single out what I see as hyperbole, and that I didn't think you and Bob were responding to the substance of Mark's criticisms.  Napster was the biggest thing of its time, too, and ultimately it all ended in tears, after all.  Oh, and lawsuits, too.

For me, podcasting is much more significant than video.  I'm not in a car much either - but I walk a lot.  And I find I walk into fewer telephone polls if I listen to my iPod instead of watch it :)</description>

		<description>none of those things that you and Jason mention were developed in the past couple years, with the possible exception of podcasting.

i used to do a lot of podcasting (both creating and listening) but youtube is a much better way for me to consumer that kind of content

probably because i rarely find myself in a car</description>
