online video industry in 2010

Written by: Ian | January 29th, 2010

Online video has become immensely popular over the past few years, with YouTube becoming one of the most talked about and most successful sites on the internet. So its no surprise to hear that this popularity has begun to move to website designs, and even ecommerce solutions. The online video experts here at advansys have made some predictions about the online video industry in 2010.

1. We hope that the top search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo will work out a reliable way to index your videos, to improve search engine optimization for video.

2. With the boom in web video, in-stream video advertising will continue to develop with new costs, formats and standards.

3. Search engines will possibly develop advanced methods for crawling online video, including speech-to-text recognition, object, face and crowd recognition. Its all possible to do, although not accurately, but lets hope they develop this further!

4. Online video hosting and publication platforms will evolve, with companies offering new solutions.

5. Taking TV station websites/services such as BBC iPlayer one step further, we can see internet video soon have its very own channels, broadcasting live to a URL, with easy access to past programs. Fast forward and rewind, without the need for recording.

6. Mass use of live video broadcasting and mobile video.

From our predictions, it’s clear to see that the future of web video is exciting, with new ideas, new techniques and web video solutions cropping up frequently. This is where advansys can help!
