Video is huge business these days and one way people are quickly and easily finding the ones they want is through the use of video search engines?
Due in large part to the massive popularity of Youtube, there’s been a huge amount of new video sites being introduced. You probably already know many of the bigger players such as Aol, DailyMotion, Google Videos, Imeem, Myspace TV, Revver, Stage 6, MetaCafe and Veoh. The list goes on and on.
A video search engine will aggregate video from multiple sources and display it on one platform. Video details are usually published with a thumbnail image so you can see what the video looks like before you click through to the video site.
Finding out what people are saying is an important part of delivering the right information in your products, blog posts, forum entries or website content. If you want to have the most recent information about a specific topic then you should consider using tools that let you track online conversations.

Getting the biggest questions and twisting them and presenting them in a compelling, interesting or controversial way is the perfect way to benefit from viral marketing. Before you can do so you need to find out what people are talking about. There are several tools I like to use which are quite useful for tracking conversations online.

If you haven’t been getting website traffic with StumbleUpon than you’re definitely missing out… One of the most effective no cost ways to get visitors to your website is through the use of social networking sites. Sites like Myspace, Facebook, Digg and StumpleUpon are all great sources of free traffic.
StumbleUpon was founded in 2001 by three guys, Geoff Smith, Garret Camp and Justin La France. Garret camp sums up the Stumble experience as, “Click a button and find something cool.”
Ok, I’ve got to admit to a seriously bad habit the past couple of weeks… Here’s a hint, does,” We’re brothers forever, or I am your brother,” ring a bell?
If you haven’t guessed, I’ve been watching American Idol. I know as unbelievable as it sounds, there’s something even more unbelievable then that. It’s the amount of Youtube views one of the recent auditions has gotten. Over 790,000 in about ten days!

Ok, I’ll admit I bit the bullet and signed up with Twitter. After all the fuss I’ve been hearing from Ed Dale about marketing with Twitter, I decided I’d better get with the program and jump on board.
What’s my first take? It’s like a one way instant messenger for everyone to see. I guess the voyeurs out there are going to love this one.
