I would like to see you NotePad nerds build me a tube site in HTML5!

Yeah, I know I am not going to get away with it that easy

Are we ready for a revolution/evolution to be forced upon us now - it is happening faster than you think..
If you code your sites with XHTML (and actually adhere to the standards), then html5 is nothing. It takes the current standard and throws in some bells and whistles. In fact, last week I modified one of my sites to be html5 and it was dead simple. Implemented the video stuff in html5 with flash fallbacks. Works like a charm.

Coding up a tube site for html5 is also simple dead simple. The real issue though is all the different video conversions that need to be done in order to ensure your surfers can watch them no matter what they're on.
