There's something about video on the web that is powerful in a grassroots way - in a similar way to the grassroots nature of blogging. Additionally, video carries a lot more emotion with it, and even entertainment value. I always enjoy watching episodes of The Scoble Show, MacBreak, and the link. Here's my counterpoint, though: I read a hell of a lot faster than anyone can talk to me in a video. Scoble himself is a feed machine, as he's noted on his blog many times. When considering my own pattern of consumption, I get my information from words, and then check out some videos as an after-thought.
