More Internet video, where is the off switch?
I loved Tim Bray's reaction to the recent launch of Yahoo!'s "The 9", the recently launched 5-day-a-week video run down of "interesting" things on the Internet hosted by a bouncy Maria Sansone. He likened it to the Apocalypse and asked, "Surely the Internet must have an "Off" switch somewhere?" If "The 9", then what should we call the "Amazon Fishbowl"? The worlds first Internet infomercial? Bill Maher returns to some witty banter, interviewing celebrities and plugging products for purchase on Amazon. From a techie side of things, I like how they have put this one together. You can skip ahead to the part of the 30 minute show that you want to see... complete with shrinking/growing video as it is playing and a scene list that looks pretty slick.
