some people are experimenting with audio or video blogs. while totally a venue to explore for expression, i’m not sure about longer term viability. both audio and video are just too opaque, and until we have decent search algorithms that can penetrate into these files they are pretty much a 1-way street. a cool way to expand on this would be to SMIL-enable weblogs. (interesting fact: MMS, the next-generation SMS, is based on a subset of SMIL. convergence?) this could also be a very interesting topic for OSCOM IV in Tokyo.
