Dan Bricklin comments on his interview with Halley Suitt and the confluence of several technologies that are giving this form of communication traction:
“All this has been possible for a long time, but the confluence of widespread high speed Internet connections, large-capacity portable music players, good search, blogs, and RSS is making this more mainstream. It is also part of a trend for non-mega corporation, non-timeslot publishing of audio/video media with Internet and word-of-mouth publicity. A great example is Jibjab’s “This Land” Flash movie (one of many they’ve done). An older one is “405 The Movie” (make sure you read “The Making of 405″ after you’ve seen it to understand what’s so special besides the fact that it’s funny).”
