    Too many video links

    Anyone else feel there are too many links to videos on the front page? Today when I load up the front page, 6 of the 8 thumbnails I see are for videos. I see a link to First Ring Daily, then the Sams report, then the podcasts block containing First Ring Daily again, then the Sams Report again, then Bingjacked, then Sams Report again....


    I prefer to read about windows and Microsoft and not watch videos about it. Having an article thumbnail to the sams report only to duplicate it again right below in the podcasts block seems redundant.
