Poll of the Week, #1: Innovation in Video Blogging

By Heri Jun 24th 2007 in Design

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!
