Some people are inventing the new creative forms for the medium — that’s the fun part, I say. There are plenty of distribution plays: YouTube, of course, and Bright Cove, Blip, Motionbox, Revver. There are many trying the important work of bringing revenue to this creativity: Google, of course, plus Revver and now, I think, Fred’s venture. There are efforts to guide people to what they want to watch: Network2, Dabble, ViralVideoChart, VidMeter. TV is exploding. [...] [...] The creation and building is coming on many fronts.

Let's face it, America dominates the web. And, fact is, many Americans aren't the slightest bit interested in stuff that isn't American in theme. They ignore it or, worse still, rate it down because it isn't the humour or the cultural references they understand. So where does this leave other, smaller, countries?

So where does this leave other, smaller, countries?

In the same way as pictures are used today, we will see an explosion of videos. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Video is worth a million. Videos make content more accessible and require a shorter attention span, which makes video a perfect medium for the web. This is what we believe at Myloanchoices. We are a personal finance service website and we use videos heavily to simplify the complex information about personal and secured loans. See <a href="http://www.myloanchoices.co.uk" rel="nofollow">secured loans</a> explained in a video format. Jeff, if you had a minute I would be interested in your opinion on Myloanchoices.co.uk website. regards, Nigel Good post Jeff-
