It’s all about videos these days. Not exactly, but close enough. Creating videos is not as simple as creating textual content, which means the barrier to entry is a bit higher as far as this channel is concerned. But the falling prices of camcorders and the recent developments in the social media have made it possible for more to go online and start sharing content with others. With video distribution networks such as YouTube, video producers have an easy way to show-case their work and get recognition for their work. Of course, if they are successful with their work, they can graduate to bigger and better things.
In order to go viral, you need to make sure your video gets as much exposure as possible, and you shouldn’t focus on the most popular sites only. There are plenty of video sharing sites available that you can take advantage of to push your videos. But you want to make sure you target the ones that give you the biggest bang for your efforts. After all, there are only 24 hours in each day, and you can’t focus all day on submitting videos to all these different sites. So you have to pick and choose your spots. With that in mind, here are a few cool video sharing sites that can help you go viral on the web:

YouTube: YouTube doesn’t need any introduction. The service is responsible for helping many achieve superstardom with their videos. Can be lucrative if you make it as a partner.

Viddler: Viddler is made for those who are looking to create branded videos. The pro plans can be pricey, but the service is well worth the investment if you are into vlogging.

Vimeo: Vimeo is one of the best alternatives to YouTube. In fact, many professionals use Vimeo to share their videos with the world. It may not get as much traffic as YouTube, but I found it easier to work with. Great community to be a part of, and you can always to switch to a premium account if you need more storage. (more…)
Android phones are getting more popular by the day. It’s true that the iPhone is still king, but Google has done a great job pushing Google Android, and with the platform coming to netbooks and other devices, you can expect Android to gain more traction and become more popular than ever before. Android is not only a decent piece of software, but it’s social media friendly as well. There are plenty of clients that let you manage your social networking account. After all, why would you want to buy an Android phone if it doesn’t allow you to manage your tweets or Facebook on the go.

Netbooks have been getting a lot of love from shoppers lately. The netbook market is growing so fast companies are going out of their way to get their own netbooks out in front of consumers. So why are netbooks that popular? It’s mostly due to the fact that they are super portable, energy efficient, and powerful enough to let people produce and consume content on the Internet. So if you are a serial twitterer or just can’t get enough of Facebook, netbooks can help you stay on the top of things and get your work done on the road.
