Video - The Flip

Last year I bought a video camcorder called The Flip and it's a really amazing device. So small it fits in your pocket, with an hour of digital memory and so easy to use a child could figure it out. What makes this device so compact is that it only shoots 'web quality' video, which means low resolution video that looks great online or in powerpoint presentations but you can't shoot a TV show or DVD movie with it. But for the purposes I'm using it for, web quality video is all i need. It's all ANYONE needs for their website, Youtube or personal home videos.

It's cheap. $130 for a digital camcorder is a great price.

Stick The Flip in your pocket and walk around your home or business, shoot video, interviews and personal messages. Video is the single most important multimedia you can have on your website, now and in the future. Nothing is more personal than a video, you'll connect with your visitors in a way that a block of text or a picture cannot. Be honest, open and yourself and watch your sales leads spike. Then distribute your video to Youtube, Veoh and many other video social networks, use thier 'embed' links on blogs and other websites... spread yourself around. Remember, it's not about having a website, it's about having a 'web presense', so get out there and let people know more about you and what you do.
