Online Video 2009

2009 has seen a tremendous pace of change online;

• Broadcast media starts to really show the strain that it's time to "adapt or die" – many newspaper, radio and TV stations have changed hands or sadly, closed.

• M$ launches Bing, which is better than expected and then yesterday… a kick ass map site to compete with Google Maps.

• Google signals repeatedly that Local Search is very very important – Place Pages, Local Ad testing, LBC 10 pack down to a 5 Pack (!) in testing, social search integration, etc.

• Online Video accelerates into "rather steep-ish" growth – approximately straight up! Cisco releases their findings that 90% of all web traffic is from online video.

Mark Robertson of one of my fav sites, ReelSEO did a fabulous presentation at SES San Jose looking at the year in review…

Here's the Slides from his talk – these are a treasure trove of great resources!
