Online Video Hits A Milestone

Online video has officially hit the big-time now that The New York Times is blogging about it. That's right, television critic Virginia Heffernan is now covering this new world of media in a blog, Screens (hat tip to I Want Media). Here's how the blog is explained:

With television and the Internet converging at last, who's going to watch all this here-goes-nothing online video? Everything from political propaganda videos to nip slips (the popular video of, yup, celebrities revealing their breasts) seems to expect an audience. "Screens" will find, review and make sense of all those senseless new images: web video, viral video, user-driven video, custom interactive video, embedded video ads, web-based VOD, broadband television, diavlogs, vcasts, vlogs, video podcasts, mobisodes, webisodes, mashups and more.
