Thanks for linking that, I'd never seen it before and it was very fun to watch.

Near the end Jamie says (slightly paraphrasing): "This could all turn into television again... a small number of companies controlling what we see or hear."

And now we basically have Facebook, Twitter and Google as the big entry points for finding things on the web. I realise that we're not living in this closed system that's push only.. I just thought there was a slight parallel there.
