| Not wasting 5 minutes 42 seconds of my life |
| Instapundit, Glenn Reynolds, pointed to a video link where Mickey Kaus and Robert Wright discuss the welfare-terrorism connection for 5 minutes and 42 seconds. Clicking on the link I discover that to find out if I am interested at all I am obliged to pay the video penalty. I can't read a summary. I can't scan through a summary.
Take a note for Web 3.0: Video and audio are not the answer -- they are only an option. When they become the requirement, people bail. Time is too valuable to fritter away listening to people talk at their speed, not mine -- the talk is too slow, or too fast, or too detailed, or not detailed enough. Convince me to listen, don't make me. |
