Josh writes: When we first launched “ANTs Not TV” at Vloggercon in January 2005, there were about 20 active videobloggers – we knew each of them personally and worked with most of them to create those magical RSS feeds with enclosures. It was amazing to see all these video channels updating over time and to watch them in a unified experience. There was nothing else like it. It was clear that something powerful was happening. It was a new kind of television, and yet it was not like TV at all – it was open to anyone and the possibilities seemed endless...

While FireAnt had its share of struggles along the way as a start up, I’m encouraged that the ideas we helped pioneer have grown incredibly stronger over the past few years. This “Not TV” (now more often called “Internet TV”) is really changing the media culture, and it’s having profound social effects. The medium is enabling new voices and conversations. The playing field is being leveled – the barriers between “Internet TV” and “TV” are disintegrating."
