Videos

Grr, I am so frustrated that videos are now used as medium on technical sites like InfoQ - I do not have time or interest to spend 20+ minutes just to check if the material is worth anything.

In many cases it does not: who will give me the 20 minutes of MY LIFE!!! back?

But let us suppose that the presenter made few excellent points and the whole thing was awesome. Now I have other problems:
- how do I search for the precise moment he-or-she made the point?
- how do I bookmark the moment to point others to it?
- how do I copy a fragment and paste it as a quotation in another document or blogpost like this?

People, please please please write good old-fashioned articles - they are infinitely more useful, and we readers will love you for that!
