Video Streaming Three Methods One Choice
If youve visited websites with video streaming you will likely find there are three separate means of accessing the video presentation. These three methods rely on separate technologies to accomplish a similar goal, but each method has a slightly different effect on your prospect.
1) Progressive Download
This method provides a combination of methods to present your video stream. It downloads the video file, but can begin to play the video before it is fully downloaded. This method cannot be...
Video Streaming And Hollywood Studios
What did the writer's strike in 2007 mean? Were the writers just hungry for additional capital for their skills?
Certainly there are some that think so, but the primary reason for the walk out had to do with an understanding that video streaming on the Internet caused a wrinkle in their contract.
In most cases Hollywood writers are not granted payment for video streaming of content they helped to create.
As more and more content is made available online the writers felt that they needed to...
Audio Streaming Easily Captured
There was a time when it was difficult to distribute audio effectively over the Internet because the software used for listening was hard to come by and hard drive space was limited.
Today Internet users typically have three or more devices that can decode and play audio streams via the Internet. Further software applications can even allow that download stream to be captured for replay.
Thousands of Internet only radio stations are available with thousands of additional broadcasters...
Audio Streaming Reflecting Societal Changes
The society we find ourselves in is filled with immediate connections. We can talk on a cell phone from virtually anywhere, we can instant message, text message and even send and receive images by phone. When websites are visited the end user may be less interested in learning all the fine points of a site than a computer user of even ten years ago.
Because we are inundated with immediacy it is possible that audio streaming may be a perfect answer to how to keep visitors logged on longer....
Social Media And The Pop Culture
Why would a popular musician or singing group put a social media page together? After all, aren't they busy enough without adding the interaction that seems to be required of a social media site?
In most cases these artists do not develop these pages as a result of having too much time on their hands. In fact, most of these artists do not have a significant amount of free time to devote to a social media site.
That being said the social media site becomes an incredible means of immediate...
Security Internet Roots And Research
Security in communications has been considered the primary reason the Internet was started although many researches view this as an elaborate urban myth.
Imagine a world where nuclear war caused significant deficits in communications. The thought of this possibility is what some say led to the development of what was known as The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET). This system allowed packets of information to be delivered through a series of connected computers ensuring that...
Internet Marketing The Three Knows
Internet marketing is, in many ways, similar to all other forms of marketing in the past fifty years. Certainly the dynamics of the Internet make it unique, but it does provide a sense of commonality when viewed from a practical standpoint.
For instance, twenty years ago brick and mortar businesses were concerned about what their competitors were doing and how to stay in the same league. This mentality is found online. When an online business works at pinpointing their competitors and...
Successful Online Business Possibilities
Building a successful online business is more than simply attempting to place a product on a webpage with the belief that visitors will be drawn to it like a moth to a flame.
If you spend a little time on the web you will find many such sites with very little in the way of visual interest or compelling reason to explore the product any further. Many of these sites appear to have been created in the mid 90s with only marginal skill in website creation. Thats not say they receive no business,...
Blogs And Forums A Two Pronged Approach
When discussing online marketing there is the inevitable comparison between a Business Blog (b-blog) and an online forum. The feeling is that the two serve essentially the same purpose and it is a simple matter of defining which approach may be best for your company.
The comparison between these two approaches is something like comparing apples and oranges. They are both fruit, but thats about the sum total of their similarities.
B-Blogs
A b-blog is designed to allow you a controlling...
Site Promotion And The Tattoo Man
There are so many ways you can market a product.
Some of the more unique approaches to traditional advertising came in the form of sandwich board signs and willing men and women who would stand on busy corners and attempt to capture the attention of those passing by. Magnetic signs were (and still are) used to place a business logo on the side of a vehicle. Some individuals have sold a portion of the space on their head for a tattoo with the promise to leave their head clean-shaven for a year...
