Watched a few episodes of the GigaOM show over the last few days.
Video or audio is far more effective than text when it comes to expressing ideas or opinions. There’s so much you can tell from the tone and other nonverbal communication that you’d lose in a transcript.
Interactive/synchronous communication (think interviews) is also done much better with video/audio.
Recording a video is quicker than typing a post! Think product reviews.
However, quoting a piece in a video is impossible. Linking to a specific part in a video is also impossible right now, although it could be implemented.
Bandwidth issues notwithstanding, we’re going to see some websites migrate to pure-video formats; others will begin to include video occasionally. There will also be increasing pressure on blogging services to make video uploads/embeds easier.
