I found a great article about online video by Target Marketing about the importance of online video.  Here is the link:  http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/article/the-emerging-importance-online-video-410206_1.html.

I first started putting video on the web in 2001 using Broadcast.com and Yahoo! services for a lead generation programs.  The response was better than expected.  The technology back in 2001 was very limited and required expensive software and expertise to get a video on the web. Most companies were sending out mini DVD business card rather than posting a small QuickTime or Windows Media videos on the web and hoping their audience had DSL or better Internet connections.

It is a lot easier and less expensive now to put a video on a website. Most business and consumers have access to broadband Internet connections and the video compression technologies are inexpensive and easy to use. It is almost a requirement to have a video on your website to keep up with your competition.

Enjoy the article.
