2009 is the year of video on 12seconds.tv
And I'm not the only one saying that. Ford's social media guy, Scott Monty, tells us that a video demonstrating "hands-free" parallel parking (a new feature in the Lincoln) is what provided the a-ha moment. Not the press release. Not even the social media press release. And here's an amusing request for video creative from Dan Stuart, strategic director of Bayt in Dubai.
It's now easier to create and publish an online video than it is to, well, write a blog post. If you can say a few words (and smile nicely for the Web cam in your computer or on your iPhone) you're in the video business. A few Web-based video creation tools I like: 12seconds.tv and Utterli.com. (Utterli is also good for recording podcast interviews from your mobile phone).
A few video tips from Mashable: make it authentic (i.e. amateurish is OK), relevant, engaging and Google friendly (easy to find in search results).
Take a look at my 60-second interview with veteran NBC cameraman Jim Long for more tips.

2009 Will Be the Year of Video
"Interactivity in talk radio tribes in 2008 is a novelty. In 2009 it will be a luxury. In 2010 it will be a necessity." You might suppose this will hold true for most of business. So get ready. Here are a few sources and tools.

Following your lead, Debbie, I tried 12seconds.tv as well for a quick reply. (URL). Simple as can be, still room for improvement, e.g show the tags and preview for the text.
Sorry, on that clip your book I just received shows in mirror image. I cannot fix it as the Macbook Pro built-in camera with Photo Booth records only this way (totally sucks）and the OSX Leopard software iMovie ‘08 and Quicktime Pro have no way to flip it right. Next time I shall record directly with QT Pro.

Definitely. Online video sites are great, and give bloggers another way to write.
