Online video viewers often cite fewer ads as one reason they watch content online rather than on traditional television, yet many publishers want to increase video ad loads and advertisers want to make sure their placements are being viewed. Research exploring how to satisfy all three constituencies indicates that while the length of online video ads matters for completion rates, the length of the content surrounding it is also key for this metric.

It’s been said that Great Content is the best SEO. When it comes to video there’s another way to say it: “Entertain or Die.” It seems like only yesterday that streaming video was new. People would watch anything. Now “Wow! I can watch video on my iPhone!” has given way to “Isn’t there anything good on?” Time for business to catch up.

Over the last several years live video streaming has become powerful marketing tool for artists and brands. For Max Haot, CEO and Co-founder of Livestream, it's been interesting to watch the growing trend of brands adopt live streaming to market their products.
I caught up Haot at NewTeeVee Live 2010 where Livestream announced its new Livestream For Facebook application that allows anyone with Facebook pages to launch a live broadcast within Facebook. Livestream launched this service based on the demand they were seeing from the market and developed an easy way to integrate live streaming into Facebook. Livestream and its competitors had previously provided this service for a fee, but Livestream decided to launch it in a DIY way so that anyone could launch a Livestream channel and embed it in their Facebook page.

I like making money as much as the next guy, but the last three or four consulting clients all shared a problem so basic that I was almost embarrassed to take their money. Specifically, they came to me concerned about poor video quality, and the simple fact was that the data rate of their video was just too low. You’d feel guilty charging for that nugget of knowledge, too, wouldn’t you?
The problem is that while there are many factors that contribute to video quality, if the data rate is too low, video quality will be sub-par. And there’s nothing that even a high-priced consultant can do about it.

Twitter will also “surface the most popular videos and tweets” in a new section of the homepage, Costolo said.
