If video is the very best way to present a piece of information — in other words, if visuals are essential for understanding your message (as is the case with most all of Chris Farrell’s how-to videos) — I’ve got no problem. My problem is with the vast amount of pointless, inconvenient “talking head” web videos that might as well be audio or even traditional blog posts.

Americans are suckers for that or an Aussie accent. What do you think abut videos that have something to teach that need visuals? I can't afford a decent video camera right now so I'm thinking of stills in a kind of slideshow with an audio track. Hey it works for documentarian Ken Burns.

Maybe we can start a movement! Just finished listening to Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz.com on one of her Speak Easy sessions…and just in passing, she mentioned how much she hates online videos.
