Editor's Notes

  1. In August of this year more people watched videos on YouTube than did Google searches. There were 10 billion YouTube videos watched versus 9 billion Google searches conducted. According to Forbes, ¼ of senior executives now prefer watching video content as opposed to reading text. Google is also working on ways to index optimized video content on its search engine. Video represents a huge opportunity for companies – especially if they are created with high production values and are shared virally.
