Apparently there is quite an interest in video on iPods, contrary to many people’s opinion. First it was a quality issue. Then a screen size issue. Then, and then, and then… and then after a short period of time the iTunes online store had surpassed the 1 million video downloads mark. And all this, from a library barely passing the 2,000 choices mark.

Have we finally reached the video age on the web, or via the web? Although I don’t think we’re necessarily at an optimal point in the evolution of the web and its medias, I think with the penetration of broadband connection, we are seeing that people want choices. The quality is not necessarily poor, but it’s far from good on most video deliverables over the web. However, if content is there, many can endure less than perfect quality ## think CONTENT is KING with websites, and your realize that many of the web’s premiere traffic hogs don’t necessarily have the prettiest sites.

Are we seeing the video penetration in small states like Vermont? Well, look no further than the weekly newspaper the County Courier and you will find that an area business has already uploaded a video commercial to the Courier’s Franklin County business directory.

My question, how long until we see more companies investing in video commercials that won’t air on TV but strictly on the web?
