			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Content is primary, obviously, and more important than platform. But when a platform is new, you spend a lot of time thinking about the platform or even promoting it: <em>The following program is in living color; this interview is via satellite</em>. Or <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to go online to find it.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that &#8211; it&#8217;s expected and it&#8217;s an important part of developing effective content when platforms or technologies evolve. But it&#8217;s a temporary state of affairs.</p>
<p><a href="http://fora.tv/2008/07/07/Walt_Mossberg_on_the_Internet_and_Rise_of_the_Cell_Phone" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-354" style="border: 5px solid white;" title="foratv-mossberg-on-the-internet-rise-of-the-cell-phone" src="http://toddmundt.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/foratv-mossberg-on-the-internet-rise-of-the-cell-phone-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" align="left" /></a>As Walt Mossberg notes in this talk, we don&#8217;t say, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go on the electrical grid now with my toaster.&#8221; We say, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to make toast.&#8221; That&#8217;s because the electrical grid is ubiquitous and invisible (until the power goes out). Mossberg says the Internet will eventually be the invisible utility that connects all of our devices to our tasks, and &#8220;paying my bills online&#8221; will once again become &#8220;paying my bills.&#8221;</p>
<p>This talk is about an hour, and it&#8217;s pretty good. Mossberg also spends a chunk of time on cellphones and why they&#8217;re so important, and also why the iPhone is such an important bellwether for phones to come (hint: it ain&#8217;t the pretty browser; it&#8217;s what&#8217;s inside).</p>
<p>Worth your time, if you want to understand these developments better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I might just write a post to indicate that I&#8217;m alive and lovin&#8217; my new home and job in the River City. But then I thought I&#8217;d make a useful post by noting Walt Mossberg&#8217;s <a href="http://mossblog.allthingsd.com/20080403/ftc-should-stop-verizon-from-calling-dsl-broadband/">presentation on web video</a> at a recent conference in DC. It&#8217;s not long, but it&#8217;s pretty good stuff &#8211; Walt on the video explosion online, the business model (or lack thereof) for commercial web video, the rarity of true broadband in the US, and more.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s been buzz about this in the blogosphere for several days now, and it&#8217;s worth watching.</p>
