This blog is all about the low budget - fast response - web video revolution. The combination of universal broadband access, free video serving and low cost video production has created a "perfect storm" that is re-writing the rules of the Web.
Secondly, the most recent edition contains an article about web video advertising from the marketing director of Turnhere the company I reckon will make a fortune from the Web video revolution.
It is a short sharp punchy article so I will not do it the disservice of trying to summarise. Just read it. Dick Stroud

YouTube is apparently trying to improve its search features. It seems the company plans to broadly add geographic search to the site so that people can find video clips tagged with specific locations, according to a report from the blog NewTeeVee.
The company is already testing the geographic search feature by including a thumbnail of Google Maps in a search for a specific location, e.g. "London techy events," along with related videos from the area. People can also move the location dot on a Google Map to see new related videos in that area.
Over a year ago, YouTube began allowing people who uploaded videos to tag clips with a location. But the company had yet to offer the ability to search videos by geography. Meanwhile, Google Earth had started giving people links to location-specific videos in a YouTube layer.
