Word of Mobile…word gets around!

The sometimes conservative capital of New York, Albany, is catching up to the national trend toward new media communications. Newspapers are now regularly producing online videos.

The Time Union is even using a high quality video sharing platform, Brightcove, which I have written about in previous posts.

Here is one of the videos from the Times Union website of Governor Patterson talking about how New York’s high property taxes are causing people to move out of New York.

As a capital district resident I’d liike to be able to download these videos to listen to and watch on my iPod. Maybe that’s where they are headed next.

Soon you’ll be able to weigh in on this content and converse with them, stay tuned for something special we have in store!

I look forward to seeing more from the Times Union and if you’d like to learn how online video is effecting your business please give us a call at 518-320-2613.

Enjoy,
David

CDN is short for Content Delivery Network. This is the internet industry term for companies that manage the hosting and delivery of media files, mostly audio and video.

CDNs are different from traditional hosting companies in that they focus on the aspect of content delivery only. Large companies like TV Networks and YouTube use CDNs for reliable scalable delivery.

Brightcove is a popular CDN that also offers social media tools with their players.
