Services And Tools To Publish Video Content Over The Internet: The Rise Of Online Movie Distribution Services

An excellent list of new services for publishing/distributing video and films over the Internet (via Robin Good). I cannot agree more that there is radical innovation coming to this area.

Won't it be interesting if "the masses" are given tools to "write" and "read" via the language of video/film as easily as we now use word-processors and e-mail?

How many of us write by long-hand anymore? Sure it's done, but most use a PC to bang out their ideas. Think how many people now use Photoshop (or some other program like Picasa) to help shape their images - who, except for professionals could have done that 20 years ago?

Many people already have digital video cameras (in their phones too) and have access to tools like iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, Final Cut Pro, Avid, etc. But how do you publish and share your work? That's where these new services will help to propel us to another level.

The next wave of the video revolution is upon us. It has huge implications for business, art, and society as a whole.

(BTW - one might think of "business" as being the obvious, established media companies...... yes, that's true. But I also see very promising uses for video in communication between employees and with customers.)
