Scoble, after some very real (and his best written) posts on family, is in Podtech's office ($5m+ to be the NPR of Podcasting) in Sand Hill Road and it's his conclusion more than the sector that I grok (of course im into podcasting) : "The podcasting space is white hot and only going to get hotter and video blogging is coming onto the scene like a train of coal rolling into Livingston Montana. Anyone miss how big a deal Rocketboom has become in just a year?"

This is why speed is so important - For big and small companies (and if u r small u certainly cant beat big by being slow or even average speed) Scoble : "Lesson for product planners in the tech industry: if you aren't supporting the latest stuff you'll be derided and left behind. If it takes 30 months to add a cool feature into your product you're too slow, not agile enough, and will see slow growth."
