Captions were introduced by YouTube in 2006, and according to a blog post today there are 1.6 million videos that have uploaded caption files. That’s… pretty pathetic, considering the huge boost for video SEO that captions can bring ( I’ve ranted about the under-use of captions before ). Considering the vast number of videos on the site, 1.6 million is barely a blip on the radar

Last week, Advertising Age published a piece about the growth of YouTube in Brazil.

I interviewed Blogworld’s CEO and Co-Founder Rick Calvert at their Los Angeles conference earlier this month. Rick and I discussed some of the big trends with online video in the publishing and marketing space, which I’ve labeled as the “Big C’s:” Context, Collaboration, Consistency, and Community.” Click here to watch the video. We included a video of our interview with Rick Calvert , along with closed captions – which should help greatly with following this because of our audio troubles

While online video on websites and elsewhere online has exploded in both size and scope, the professional usability and user experience community has still remained generally silent?

Freddie Mercury was the lead singer (and one of the driving creative forces) in the band Queen, famous for such hits as “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen,” and many more. And today is his birthday. Mercury died in 1991, but his music still resonates today, and a great many modern musicians cite Queen and Mercury as a major influence on current popular music.

We here at ReelSEO know that video is the best medium for teaching people how to do something, and the best means of retain that knowledge.
