20% of Internet Browser Traffic is video. This is why it is important for Business.

With the implementation of broadband internet access, the holy grail of music, video, audio and animation has really taken on a life of its own.

So much so that today, online video has become a huge growth path as more consumers, businesses, trainers to name a few, take to the internet to deliver and receive video in every form, from file streaming to live real time television, videos and the like.

The various technology channel types for communicating to customers are in a real flux of change in the last few years and more so now certain channels are taking on a real focus that previously was impossible to achieve.

The various formats have developed individual channel streams such as online radio stations, or mainstream broadcasters placing their schedule online, or sites where Hulu deliver online (sadly not available in NZ), Podcasts have taken on a brand presence for what is simply an audio file that you can download onto any one of a number of media platforms including the computer you are using to view this web site.

The benefits of video online and utilizing such sites as YouTube, Viddler, Vimeo and the 20 or more similar sites are growing in importance for companies wanting to demonstrate, engage, share their products, information and personality. Once was a rather costly exercise to get any degree of quality, is easily achieved with a $150 camera and free software. This places a strong emphasis on one thing…content that someone (hopefully 1000’s want to view) and from a business perspective will create sales, buzz, or a more informed buyer.
