Love the new blog series, Seth! I just recommended this to a client last week. I told them to frame it as a “Choose your own adventure” type of thing, like the books we grew up loving 🙂 I really hope someone runs with this, wouldn’t be too hard once you lay out the framework! Keep it up, and hopefully we can get together again sometime soon!
Great post! I love that you offer very practical, actionable advice. I’m going to share it with schools that we work with to build Facebook communities for prospective / admitted students. This idea could be a great way to pull students in and get them highly engaged in the community.
This blog is definitely becoming a must read! Keep up the good work.
One more thing. I think the annotations do work in the embedded version (or, at least, they did on this blog), which I think is a must-have if schools are truly going to embrace this.
Thanks for all the great feedback. I REALLY appreciate it. You guys are great!
Mark – Great catch regarding annotations working in embedded videos. I just noticed this yesterday and totally love it. I’m not sure when YouTube made the upgrade, but I am SO glad they did.
Dude. You rock. I’ve sent both of your posts around to my colleagues. Love this idea. It’s great to see some innovation with a YouTube feature that’s been around for a while like annotations.
My only concern is if you get a few videos deep, and you want to go back to the beginning, what do you think the best way is? You could go the multiple annotations route, I suppose but that would probably be annoying. A playlist would probably be a better option.
The only problem I foresee with doing this is that the person has to be on YouTube to see the annotations. It loses its luster if you want them to have the experience within your branded site.
Very nice! I couldn’t agree more with your philosophy of giving the user control over how much content they want to see, and in what order.
Great posts here; you’ve got yourself another subscriber.
Great comment man. You have brought up some really good points. The bigger this thing gets the harder to navigate and stay organized. I’ve mapped out some ideas, so personally here is what I’m thinking…
For now the only way to navigate from video to video is on YouTube itself. If that is the case then I say let’s embrace that and utilize the sidebar. I would have the host literally point to their left and say something like “at anytime you can go back to the original video by clicking the link in the sidebar.”
Not sure if this is practical, but it could work to also post a directory video that just includes annotations listed in some sort of order for every single video in the tour. That way if someone was looking for something specific they could go there and click it.
Not ideal solutions, but I think if you really mapped everything out beforehand you could find a way to make even a really large tour flow.
Thanks again to all of you for such great comments! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
I’m just about to plan an overhaul of our virtual tour and I definitely want to incorporate annotations. Adding them looks pretty simple, but how did you add video in the annotation (of your freezer, for example?).
Thanks for your help. Love the ideas. Keep ’em coming.
Glad you find it useful! Make sure to send me a folo up when you’ve finished the virtual tour overhaul. I’d love to see what you put together
Adding video in the annotation is sort of an interesting topic. On YouTube you can’t actually add video inside an annotation at all. So, what I do is I actually edit that moving video on top of the other video in Final Cut (you can also do this in iMovie) and then I upload it to YouTube. Once on YouTube, I use annotations to put a box around the already moving video.
I realize this is a bit confusing. Some folks expressed interest in a tutorial vid on how to do picture-in-picture editing in iMovie and Final Cut, so I’m hoping to put something together soon.
If you dont mind, where do you host your blog? I am searching for a good quality web host and your blog seams to be fast and up just about all the time
Have you given any kind of consideration at all with translating your main web site into Spanish? I know a small number of translaters right here which might help you do it for no cost if you wanna make contact with me.
I have got 1 recommendation for your webpage. It looks like right now there are a couple of cascading stylesheet issues while opening a number of web pages in google chrome as well as opera. It is working fine in internet explorer. Perhaps you can double check this.
I Am Going To have to return again when my course load lets up – nonetheless I am taking your Rss feed so i could go through your internet site offline. Thanks.
It seems to me that this site doesnt load on a Motorola Droid. Are other folks having the same problem? I enjoy this site and dont want to have to miss it when Im away from my computer.
I tried looking at your web site in my iphone and the format does not seem to be right. Might want to check it out on WAP as well as it seems most cell phone layouts are not really working with your web site.
As soon as I at first commented I clicked the Notify me any time new comments are added checkbox and currently each and every time a comment is added I get four messages with the identical comment.

Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to
start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
I am curious to find out what blog platform you are utilizing?
I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest website and I would like to find something more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?
I’ve read some just right stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how so much effort you put to make this kind of excellent informative site.

Hi there, just became alert to your blog through Google, and found that it’s really informative. I’m going to watch out for brussels.
I will be grateful if you continue this in future. Lots of people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright
violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d definitely appreciate it.

Great tip, now if only YouTube can add this functionality for embedded vids it would be awesome!
Thanks for this great insight! I’m definitely interested in learning more about picture-in-picture in both FinalCut and iMovie.
