OMFG! Jason Calacanis is right! This Google Video thing is going to be huge

This spells the death to TV as we know it because the internet is for porn and not just of the sex kind.
This is total postmodern, prosumer media porn!

And there is even a HAMSTER DANCE!!!!!!!

OHMYFUCKINGBLOGICANTBELIEVETHERE'SANEWHAMSTERDANCE!!!!

To those who have not been around the web since forever like old geezers like me and Jason, Hamster Dance was to the web back in 1995 what it would be to a teenager to drop acid, smoke weed and eat 'shrooms all at the same time.

People loved to hate that site. So much, and this will tell you how way back this goes to, the guy that coded Greymatter, the first open-source and free blogging software I knew of, created a satanic version of the site, Satanic Hamster Dance.

Hamster Dance was reviled but groundbreaking because it proved that the net was an alternative space for moving pictures. Animated GIFs became the basis for many a crappy 'net art' project but, by blog, people where all over PERL and Javascript to see how they could push the form. Weirdos like the father of my kids pushed the limits with JAVA. Do any of my techie readers remember the collective orgasms over Macromedia Flash? Does anybody remember how Joshua Davis acquired semi-god status with PrayStation and his flash projects?

I am so getting old.

Jason, you are so right, this video thing is gonna be really big.

The Daily Show is already proving TV shows have an alternative life on the net.

This is just the beginning.
