Video forces me to sit down and watch a bunch of dudes speak text that I could have been reading much, much faster. Video is useful for illustrating concepts, or visually showing things that static imagery and written text cannot -- NOT as a substitute for the above. Many of us consume a lot of web content in a surprisingly little amount of time, and to supplement that we have developed reading and parsing skills that allow us to cull what we need out of written text, then move on. With video, I have to stop and wait, I have no idea if what I'm going to watch will be worthwhile, and I have to sit through it just to find out. Do you think we want to do that? I sure don't. If I want to see a bunch of morons blabbering on about some random topic, I can watch TV. Plus, video is inherently pointless with an RSS feed. And it consumes way more bandwidth, which is sure to rankle network administrators everywhere. I know this personally, because I am the network administrator for my company.

I bet it would be worthwhile to pay someone offshore to write transcripts of every video and have the text posted below the video. Why does the video have to have no SEO value?

In his 'shows', he does lego reviews and shares his lego creations. (It's really geared towards other kids). I've been tagging the videos and the posts, in hope of getting some seo value. But since the site is really a video site,I guess we're probably not going to benefit that much from SEO. We're new at all this, so I guess we'll see how it all unfolds too. :-) I’m helping my 7 year old promote his ‘lego show’, which is basically a blog with videos that are hosted on youtube.
