Is it just me or is there an awful lot of Flash video showing up these days? I am coming to the conclusion it is going mainstream and is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. cNet runs a daily video. Amazon tosses one onto its home page for a couple of weeks. Why even Sys-Con has gotten into the "talking head" game. Still there is an amazing amount of work out there and it looks like we are soon all going to have to master the Flash Communication Server.

The danger is ubiquity. If Flash Video goes mainstream it won't be long before we are treated to people in loud shorts and shirts, wearing rhinestone sunglasses and stupid straw hats waving at us through jerky video shot at the edge of the Grand Canyon. I can hardly wait!
