So, I have been an advocate of using social media for a long time. One of most popular social mediums is video in my opinion. Back in 1994, when I first started to play with intranet and web video on the stock exchange I almost got fired at first for webcasting a video during market hours.

This is a great article by Brad Stone here.

Another question from Jeff:

Question 2. A recent survey put the percentage of companies operating internal blogs at only 4%. Why do you think this number is so low and of those companies who are publishing internal, employee-only corporate blogs, what is their main motivation? What is the main benefit they expect to get, in your experience?
