In case you haven’t heard, video is not just the next big thing, its here and its huge! According to this story, “Video search on YouTube accounts for a quarter of all Google search queries in the U.S., according to the latest search engine numbers from comScore.” This is simply staggering news. What started as a rather strange phenomena has grown into a very powerful business tool, that is if you are using it! To put this into perspective, “If it were a standalone site, YouTube would be the second largest search engine after Google. More searches are done through YouTube than through Yahoo, which has been the case for the past few months.”
But wait, that’s not all! Not only is Youtube impossibly popular in general, when it comes to video, it is blowing the competition out of the water! According to this article, “In terms of videos watched, Google accounts for a staggering 38 percent; the next most popular service has less than 4 percent.”
How you can make Youtube work for you and your business is up to you. I have been using it for several months and I like what it does. What I can tell you is that if you aren’t using it you might be missing the boat…

No more downloaded .pdf files or any other readable document. Issuu Smart Look eliminates the download and simply lets you look at the document directly. Not only is this feature simply better, it looks really dang cool too!
You can check it out here.
Adding the code to an existing site is really easy. Its pretty much a cut and paste job that anyone could do. I would love to demonstrate this on my site but I dont have any .pdf files or any other documents to download like that 
I really think this is a must for any website with downloadable, readable content. It’s flashy, cool, and useful.

The story also includes some other sites that are working on similar lines.

Well maybe not everything you are doing but you might want to check this service out. What does it do?
“Drop.io, a service that offers hosted file sharing, conference calling, fax receiving, blogging, collaboration, and media presentation features, has released a major new version of its Firefox add-on.”
It also features Facebook connectivity.
“Upload new files to share, write a blog post, share a link via the aforementioned shortcut, or do something else clever with your own API app, and it can quickly be published to your Facebook news feed.”
There is definitely some use for this app. It could also be a great way to integrate filesharing with your website. For instance you could create a drop that contains files or guides on how to buy a home and then share these for potential customers.
