When videos are done well, they get the point across better than the written word -- a great example would be the Richter Scales 'Bubble" video as compared to any number of blog posts on the same subject.

I wrote about blog vids over at MarketingProfs, which John referenced. I took some heat from a good friend who just started posting vids on his blog, saying we're experimenting with a new tool for communicating and we shouldn't be so quick to be critical. New tools are fine, but -- just like the printed word -- they should be thought-out, organized so they flow, written (and for video, performed) well, and to the point so we don't lose the audience.
