Video and Corporate Blogs

I've been busy with my new job at NETASQ, a European leader providing unified security solutions comprising a range of appliances that combine a firewall with a unique real time intrusion prevention technology and plenty of other security features (antivirus, antispam, web filtering, QoS, etc).

But, one new trend I have been watching is the increasing impact of video in corporate blogs.

For example, Dell's Virtualization Solutions Engineering team posted a video on Dell's corporate blog -Direct2Dell- to show a preview of a virtualization demo system: http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/09/13/29651.aspx

Of course, it is not suprising to also see a lot of YouTube videos used on Google's Official Blog: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/

The use of video on the web is no news but its use to make corporate blogs more relevant and interesting seems to be here to stay.

Viral videos also seem to continue to spread. One recent famous one - inspired by several other before (from Amelie Poulain to http://www.wherethehellismatt.com/)- is revealing. Check it out below:
