YouTube just turned on high quality embeds! After you press play on an embedded video, move the cursor over the arrow in the bottom right corner and select HQ.

definitely ben. the skepticism can be healthy, but too much of it keeps some from ever trying new things…

Definitely agreeing with you here. we need some “real” authenticity, no?

Video also transforms interviews into a completely different experience than a text interview. It can create a massive amount of trust but it can also destroy it faster than text. Gary Vaynerchuk at Wine Library TV wouldn't be where he is without the trust he's received from his videos. On the opposite side, Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric did far more to damage people's trust in her than any amount of text could.

Yeah, I think there is a basic level of skepticism we all have about the image that people project of themselves across the web. We all can imagine that the 20 year old guy is actually a 53 year old woman. You really don't know until you see them. Video pushes all that kind of skepticism aside and lets you get down to connecting without fear.

Just seems to me that you can hide quite a bit behind a blog or website. We're all professionals at hiding, not wanting to be known for our failures. One of the biggest things I don't like about the internet. The fake "I'm a hero and you need to listen to me" syndrome, when our lives are sometimes not the example to follow. But people would only know that through in-person or extended time with video.

That was strange! I could not open ID until I posted that trash above! Give it a mercy killing since I messed up the link. But I still think this is bordering on phrenology!
