Video comments, That’s fine and extra might to them. It’s an enjoyable marketing scheme

I just had another thought. What if, say after the novelty wears off, and there's only one video comment? It would suddenly have a much higher profile.

Oh wait, that's already happening.

It would help, but I still wouldn't watch. I would still have to wait for
context/content to load. If they mention a product or site that I have no
clue about, I still have to manually fetch the site. Usually my day is
simply too time sensitive. Also, Josh Catone's posts outlines some other
reasons why I'm not biting the bait and a major one that I agree with is the
increase in page load times. That's a huge drawback for me also.

If you're thinking of making a script that does such, I whole heartedly
encourage you to do so. I think quite a few people would find it beneficial.
Who knows? It may even change my mind. I'm just a tad stubborn about this.

What if there was a way to do a, say, css or javascript rollover that gave your a 5-second animated thumbnail, and you could click for more?
