“Must Read” Blogs & Websites on Online Video

by Nalts on November 10, 2007

baby-reading.jpgIn a recent WillVideoForFood Forum post, I invited people to submit their “must read” blogs and websites on the subject of online video. As you can imagine, it’s very difficult to find these on Google.

Here’s an initial list, and I’m going to be making a video featuring the best sources. So please let me know what else you read and find indispensable for learning about online-video: industry news, production tips, monetization methods, etc.

Note- some of you regular contributors have really interesting blogs (Marquis, Jan, FallofAutumn), but aren’t necessarily on the topic of online video or are niche. I’ll do a separate “shout out” for websites by my favorite readers and contributors to WillVideoForFood.com!

Here’s my draft list… If you have a related blog, don’t hesitate pimping your website in the comments below. Note that I also read many of the blogs done by online-video sites, but those are also a different category.

  1. Inside Online Video by Mike Abundo: Often the first to report on new trends and site features.
  2. OnlineVideoWatch (sorry I missed that site, which is now in my RSS).
  3. ReelPop by Steve Bryant, a columnist and editor living in New York, NY.
  4. Cinematech by Scott Kirsner, who wrote “The Future of Online Video.” CinemaTech focuses on how new technologies are changing cinema – the way movies get made, discovered, marketed, distributed, shown, and seen.
  5. Usertainment Blog, written by Lester Craft Jr., a veteran technology-business journalist.
