What Do You Think Of Online Video?

Video seems to be the latest development in the make money online blogosphere. As I go through my RSS reader, I see more and more video. Mark Wielgus has done video on a consistent basis in the last couple of weeks. And other bloggers (like Nate, Darren, Yaro, and Glen) are joining him by producing their own online videos.

Now, I have nothing against video. I did a video case study last month. I think video is effective. The conversion rate for video is higher than text or audio. I like producing video. However, I’d rather read text than watch video.

I can process more information faster by reading since I read pretty quickly. I can learn more efficiently by reading.

I think I’m in the minority. I don’t watch a lot of TV or movies. I love reading. I like listening to podcasts when I exercise or drive. But I realize online video will be more and more important because the present generation is much more visual than the previous generation. Just look at YouTube’s insane traffic volume.

What about you? How much online video do you watch? Do you like video posts more than text or audio posts?
