Video is still a relatively untapped resource on the web. Although Youtube, Google Video and 100 plus other video distribution sites are growing exponentially and seeing enormous traffic, almost all of their current content is taken with permission or more often stolen from traditional broadcasting sources. This will eventually change.
Most websites contains almost of their important information in text and images. The average small business websites has no audio or video whatsoever. As bandwidth and familiarity with the inherent increases so will the use of video as more then just a website decoration. I imagine an internet where even the average medium size website will contain a full 25% - 50% of their content in the form of video or audio. That’s a huge change. The fore-runners and technology enthusiasts that break into the market early will see huge gains due to the limited competition.
If you have the ability I’d definitely be considering grabbing a peace of the market share as online video is going to skyrocket sooner then later. Once the market is popular enough and TV advertising dollar decrease, million of videos will probably be produced for the web only and they’ll be made with high production value and professional interactive content. If you can get into the video revolution now, you’ll be competing with thousands and get an early jump at the marketing.
