They'll read John Chow and go do it. No plan, no thought--just follow. Load time alone could kill your traffic on a blog or website. No one wants to wait for a video to load. If they do, it better be worth it. If its not you're in trouble. The anticipation to watch a video on a site has more to do with who the site owner is and the trust they have gained in their readership which takes time and work. What about bandwith cost to the owner of the site? If a video becomes really popular the cost could go through the roof couldn't it? Maybe John could answer that question. Is bandwith something to be considered if you own your own site? On a hosted blog it may be advantageous but what is the cost for website owners who don't have Google to pick up the cost?
