Minnesota Online Video
Looking into the World of Online Videos for Marketing & Recruiting…and other stuff.

I am pretty active on Facebook. I have a lot of friends focused primarily around on my interests…the major interest in my personal life being nondual philosophy (as in Zen, Advaita, Taoism, Jnana Yoga, etc.). I have a bit over 1,000 Facebook friends. Recently, I have had to ‘unfriend’ several people because of their blatant spam.

I have seen hundreds of online videos. Last year my blog consisted of mostly critiques of online videos businesses were using for marketing or recruiting. There are three things that will pretty much destroy the video for businesses.
I am highly disturbed by this video…someone thought it was a good idea (what are they thinking?). If you are looking for a truck accident (injury) lawyer…because you were in an accident or know someone who was in an accident…would you really want to see an acted out scenario of an accident? Talk about not being sensitive to what has happened in your potential client’s lives. How about that cemetery scene!
Chiropractor Testimonial Video
7 Feb 2010This is almost 30 seconds…and a total waste of time. Don’t ever think about making videos like this for your company. Nothing was really said…it wasn’t a very good testimonial. “I had a shoulder that hurt and it affected my elbow…he fixed it…and it feels really good now…thanks.” That was the video.

Is this the end of the Apple we know and love?
In: Commentary|General
25 Jul 2010This thought occurred to me recently after following the problem with the iPhone4. The steel bands that run around the phone’s edges function as antennae, and Apple touted this as a selling point. Unfortunately, consumers discovered a design flaw immediately after the phone launched. When you cover up a small gap between two of the bands on the corner of the phone, you experience dramatic signal loss.
