And More on Video.

As a self-professed video evangelizer, I am always happy to report when others jump on the bandwagon. Have a peak at The Future is Video by Greg Galitzine. Excellent points.

What's most exciting about the future of video calling and conferencing is just how many people - people who are online friendly - have yet to truly experience it. Just recently, I brought several old friends into a video call to help celebrate a dear friend's milestone birthday. They were equally amazed by the quality (even on Skype), by the ease of it, but most importantly by how close it brought them to each other. Much more so than a phone call. Imagine the viral marketing power of each incremental believer.

I went to IT Expo this week in LA (see entry above) and while there were some interesting things there, there was remarkably little on video. Yet, the video providers that were there received far more than their share of attention. If nothing else gets you on board, think about how incredibly green it is.

Did I just plug green? Things are changing. Or I'm getting older.
