		<description><![CDATA[Twitter took blogging to microblogging.  Now sites like 12seconds.com and robo.to are introducing us to the concept of microvideo.
The New York Times ran a great introductory article yesterday.
What do you think? Will Microvideo become the new medium of choice, augment Twitter, or just fade away?

As a child, I remember watching Star Trek&#8217;s Lt. Uhura with her wireless earpiece.  Today I use a similar peice of &#8220;science fiction&#8221; in my car so that I can keep both hands on the wheel.  In a generation we&#8217;ve gone from rotary [...]]]></description>
