I think it's great to get some regular original internet content on the TV via Tivo.

Yeah, definitely cool to see TiVo doing this. It'll be great to see where they take this support for videoblogging. It feels a little bit early for this -- there's not a ton of great video blogs/vlogs/vodcasts out there, but this would certainly give people some incentive to create more.

Awesome news -- Rocketboom is already one of the things that makes my 5G iPod happy. It'll be great to have it accesssible from my TiVo as well.

I can think of some other vlogs that would work well here -- DigitalLife.dv, Bob Cringely's NerdTV interviews, etc.

While I'm not especially interested in the content offered here I'm thirlled to see more content delivery over broadband. I hope the trend continues.

In fact I recently talked about this very subject on my own web site.

This means Rocketboom has blossomed into the swan it's always dreamed of becoming, from wooden puppet to real boy, from crappy 320x240 blog entry to a full screen Television show.

TV, Money, Fame, Glory, TV.
Finally they've made it!
Screw Videoblogging anyway, you can't make money and get famous doing that.
