Online Videos: The Benefits and thoughts about posting them from IC247

Everybody's heard of You Tube (now owned by Google), Google Video or Yahoo Video and we have all watched some of the really funny and amusing videos that get posted on these websites daily. The different types of videos are absolutely astounding with diverse ranges such as the ramblings of weird and wonderful charactors right through to commercially astute product demonstrations and advice on different brands.

Web 2.0 (The IC247 way!) encourages one to be able to post information using many different mediums via many different hosting websites. Visual information transmitted on all these different hosting sites is obviously a great way to do this (from your website via RSS feeds if you want) and enables you to show either potential customers or a wider audience a visual aid to help you get your message out there.

Nowadays everyone looks at Youtube to see videos about their hobby or about films and books they are interested in and also to help them with assignments for school and college. The millions upon millions of people that visit video hosting sites benefit from all the information there from different videos that these sites hold and host.

You don't have to post a video that's serious and designed to get you money one way or another. It can be fun too. You can post those holiday videos that gave you so much pleasure; those moments that were so golden and you can share such good times with the rest of the world and help the internet evolve. From a commercial point of view it's also "golden" because if your posted videos take off, are interesting and well thought out then you will get people looking at them and therefore potentially get more visitors to your main site (via links from your videos) to see your products and services.

As with everything there has to be a darker side and there are videos out there that show a different side of life that the most of us don't really want to see. Just recently in the British press there were the "Happy slapping" videos which weren't fun or enjoyable at all. We just have to understand that the internet is a huge world which takes all sorts - good and bad to make it. We don't have to watch those tasteless, indiscriminate videos because we have a choice. If you see these sort of videos then flag them so that the hosting sites are aware of them and go on and surf to find the videos you want to see.

What we at IC247 want to encourage is the idea of providing more information that others can share and learn from on a wider scale and we want to help you to do this to by helping you learn how to host and post videos, write and post Blogs, write articles and really open up the Internet world to you with simple explanations and training that will assist you to get the most out of any online activity. It's all about Web 2.0!!!
