ByNalts

While Google/YouTube may change the dynamic of video search, it’s still hopelessly frustrating to find a video online.

The article shows that companies have made significant efforts…

New Way for Amateur Videos to Cross Chasm Between “Lean Forward” and “Lean Back”

ByNalts

How many technomarketing cliches can I work into one headline? The majority of consumer generated video is consumed while we “lean forward” (computer).

Here’s another ranking of top video sites (by LightReading.com). I’m reminded that it’s probably time for me to update my ranking of the top revenue-sharings sites.
