"The smart (or jaded) money on the internet sees video (remember, video has been the next big thing for the past five or six years now) as curiously retro. The internet overcomes the inefficiency of its vast blather because you can skim it and skip it – we are all negligent readers now – but video is clumsy because you actually have to watch it. While a quick glance at a first sentence can identify the worth of a commenter, with video, you're stuck."

Entirely agree (!!!) with Michael Wolff here. As a friend of mine put it recently: “Video is like the voicemail of the web.”

Finally! “Video is like the voicemail of the web.”
