• 15×15.org/ - The site says: In 1968 Andy Warhol stated that: ‘In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes‘ … the viewable artwirk is an interface consisting of 15 individual rectangular screens, each individual screen displays a random video clip stored within the database for a 15 second duraction: 15×15
• Nokia N-series Video Studio - a cool display of videos taken from the N93 phones and more … note: this rss link can be use to subscribe to video podacasts for the iPod

The trends clearly pointed towards where we - the current generation are heading - from the ages of information world to network world to connected world and finally a media rich world. Its no longer text limited … the future is far richer and engaging, colourful and of course bright!

And of course - I have been mobile photoblogging (take the picture and blog it to the internet directly using GPRS - recently I am doing video-blogging too) for a good 2 whole years! And believe me me its just fascinating … Click here to see a sample. Guess was a very early adopter but I feel in a year or two atleast the ones who are reading this will be photoblogging definitely!
