We understand that all of our readers have different preferences. Every day we put on our thinking caps to come up with as many interesting topics and creative ways to present those topics as we can conjure. One of the ways that we have presented certain pieces is in the form of video blogs.
Today’s question is: Do you prefer to watch the videos or just read the articles? Would you rather us post news and articles in a variety of forms, or just in the traditional way?

My already-stated concern is that a video can’t be “skimmed” to determine if it is pertinent to my situation. Also, my company has restricted videos at work, in order to preserve bandwidth (and probably to restrict recreational use of the internet).
I have watched almost none of your video blogs. If you are going to continue them, I think that you should make sure to have a thorough summary of the content available, if not a complete transcript.
I’m in agreement with Mr. LeMay … I prefer to read the content as opposed to watching it…. sometimes badly edited video can be more of a distraction and a turn-off than anything… so if it’s fuzzy or grainy or the sound varies – I stop watching… and you can’t skim the video to find if it’s TRULY something that I want to know….
Thanks for your input guys! While we probably won’t completely do away with the videos, we will do our best to make sure most of our posts are articles. I will also try to provide a more lengthy description of the video. Thanks for the feedback!
