Poll of the Week, #1: Innovation in Video Blogging (9)
Starting from this week, there will be a weekly poll in Montreal Tech Watch about current technology and news.
Now, unless you have been living under a rock for the past 6 months, you already know that video is now the biggest trend on the Internet. Joost, Babelgum, vpod.tv, VeohTV, and the Apple TV all promise to close the gap between video and television thanks to your broadband connection. Youtube now takes 10% of the total Internet traffic, which is more than P2P downloads, and the portal is now taken seriously by presidential candidates in the US. Justin.tv and ustream lets you stream video live, for your own Truman show. And it’s not just a user trend either. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, FOX are all flocking to the web, making deals with video portals and hardware manufacturers like Apple.
As you can see, this is a huge topic, and I am breaking it down to a series. This week’s poll is about innovative usage of video in blogs, while another poll will cover video usage for businesses, à la nuvu.tv or standoutjobs. Here is the list :
- dailywom.tv does daily interviews about viral marketing
- galacticast makes sci-fi and comedy shows
- Vero-b covers cultural events
- yulbuzz has shows and interviews, on a diverse set of topics
- Ze Canada takes video clips in yulblogs and yulbiz
Thanks for voting!
Hey Heri! What a cool idea! I don’t know if at Yulbuzz we are the most innovative video users but we surely highlight the most innovative people. Check the latest conversation between Martin Lessard and Eric Filion! :)
Hey, all the contenders are Francophone. What about les tetes-carre? Personally, I vlog at both http://blog.searchanyway.com and http://gypsybandito.com
And don’t forget the guys at WatchMojo.com
They’re not really a video blog, but dailywom.tv isn’t anything like a blog either.
@CT Moore
galacticast is in english. and whats les tetes-carre, thats new for me. watchmojo will be in another poll.
I didn’t know about your vlog. sorry about that. but the poll is already opened and it doesnt make sense to reset the results and announce a new one. by the way, all of those guys are in the list because i have seen them in local events in Montreal. it should be great if you go local tech events too
