Friday Five: Internet Video Series/People
I remember long ago when the internet was a place you would read stuff and look at pictures because that’s all the bandwidth would allow at the time, because video compression was not yet very good. Eventually though, compressions got better and you could at least download videos. Then compression got even MORE better and suddenly just as we could use the internet for text, graphics and audio so to now did video enter the fray with YouTube and Flash video finally offering a great means to get video on the web and freely accessible to everyone. This opened a whole new world of possibilities as video-based media could be made and distributed by anyone. Over time, video has become a highly prevalent part of the internet with regular series or “internet celebrities” becoming more commonplace.
Today’s Five deals with videos by people/series that I really enjoy watching on a continuing basis. They cover a whole breadth of areas from opinion, to music, to parody and more. In keeping with the family friendly nature here at GeekLore, I will forewarn you that some of the outgoing links I’m providing may contain NAUGHTY WORDS that your children or boss may not like hearing. Not that you should be watching internet videos at work, but you know you’ll do it anyway. That being said, let’s hit the old digital trail and discuss just who grabs my attention.
