Traffic Blaster

It doesn’t seem like long ago that uploading a photo for friends and family was a major breakthrough. Video was a major step. One of the next big leaps in online media, particularly in marketing is easy access to streaming video.

Websites such as Ustream.com allow anyone to syndicate and broadcast their own “show” live!

According to a post today by TechCrunch, “Now FriendFeed is taking the next step in its evolution with a complete redesign and lots of new features. We were able to see a demo of the new site last week and have been testing it over the weekend. Our opinion: the new FriendFeed, which launches into beta today, is simpler, faster and better than the old FriendFeed…”

While Facebook allows the posting and embedding of video content, FriendFeed will now allow live streaming. Think of it as a “Facebook marries Skype!” Now, instead of posting pics for old pals, you can stream a feed live.

In marketing, this will become a powerful tool. Instead of merely recording a video and broadcasting a message, you can invite your followers to “mini seminars” where you deliver valuable content in real time. Cool stuff!
