Changing face of web media

In the course of submitting my client's podcasts made from his articles, I found some changes in the podcast/blog world going on.

I've heard some rumblings the last few months about video - ads, YouTube, etc. Going to my quite lengthy list of podcast directories slammed it home for me. A few of them, I'll guess the number is between 5-10%, have gone to all video submissions.

The sad thing about those directories is that the videos are not of informational value. You can only watch the asian guy do his creepy dance so many times, and you won't learn anything from it at all.
To my tastes, vid is for a visual demonstration of something we want to, you know, LEARN. It's why I like podcasts so much. I don't think end-users have the equipment for video yet either. Besides viewing on line of course. Shoot my MP3 player is only about a year old!

Better SEO than CA

This week has been an SEO kind of week. I've looked at and read more articles, forums and blogs on SEO than I think I ever have, and I read a lot of stuff on the subject.

Everything I've researched this week, though, has only reinforced my stance on SEO. Which is, write articles, post to your blog, podcast and make sure your web designer/developer submits them to every corner of the 'net.

Got a new customer that had previously been working with a CA designer. After speaking to me and getting info on how I could help him promote his site, he asked the CAdude about podcasting and was told "Well, that's coming down the pipe. We could research that."

Wow, am I ever ahead of the curve. Hip, maybe?

In any event, we Coloradoans sure do love beating out ANYTHING from CA!
