Overdoing the videos
I know YouTube videos are the new blog post, but am I the only one getting sick of having to watch a video when I just want to read a couple of paragraphs about a topic? I don’t want to see the tutorial video; I want to read instructions. I don’t want to listen to you tell your idea in into your webcam with diagrams on a whiteboard; I want to read an article about it.
You know why? Because I can skim written text. I can’t skim a video. It’s like punishing me by making me sit there for it. Plus, I can’t crank up the sound on a video just anywhere like I can with text.
Surely a lot of our visitors must feel this way, too.

Okay and I have to wait for my broadband–which means if I’m having a slow moment the video slows or gets jerky.
It might be a great addition but I do not like the instead of!
Yeah, I forget how much it must slow down some people’s systems when they go to a page and there’s the video downloading, whether they want it or not. It can even take a moment to get the window shut down, which is only going to make you resent and possibly never return to that site.
