For those of you who have never heard of TED yet…well you have been missing out.
TED is a nonprofit devoted to “Ideas Worth Spreading”. They started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then they have broadened the scope even further.
Now TED regularly publish video posts on their site and blog showing “riveting talks by remarkable people” and all this entirely for free!
Here below is an example of a video we have recently watched. It is a talk given by Simon Sinek about his model for inspirational leadership.

I didn’t know Wonderhowto before coming at Video searh summit but just found the idea very smart strategically. Many players in the ‘how to’ business are investing tons of venture money to create content. howto requests in main search engines represent a few percentages of all the requests so it’s a good place where to be and obviously it’s really long tail…
Wonderhowto knows perfectcly that the value chain to monetize such an investment is not yet ready so they decided to become the aggregating platform and wait to see how and when monetization will come. Time-to-market is just key and these guys know it so they improve their SEO and moreover their VSEO to get free traffic. Moreover they have a stronger value proposition than the one they aggregate because they just have much more content for FREE.
Have a look these guys do a wonderful job in VSEO. Moreover their VC are one of the best VC I’ve met during my roadshow in US : General Catalyst
Their CEO (Stephen Chao) has a long expertise in producing content as he was executive at Fox during a while.
He told me that’s because he knows costs that he decided to not produce
I enjoyed to meet our US partner Marc Robertson from reelseo. Marc is defintely the guy to follow about the emerging technicals about video and search. He has over 10 years of experience in SEO and he is following everything about what’s going in Video search. SEO dude is the title he metionned on his business card
BTW we talked with Marc during this interview about how to index videos on Internet, google universal and others really interesting stuff. Thanks Marc and let’s mve this industry and let’s try to make talk big guys at Google in charge of this… Google swat team are you around ?
Two weeks ago I enjoyed to be in SF for the first video search summit. It was really an exciting time and I had the opportunity to interview many people involve in video, search and monetization.
