Streaming Media – Convergence of Social media and online video panel discussion and talk that the use of
video delivery with social functionality – blogs, wikis, tagging and video responses – to name a few, are exploding in popularity.

What’s the business value? The panelists debate whether social media presents real business opportunities for publishers or is just a fad without true ROI potential.

Businesses that are looking to implement video or make more effective use of it should definitely listen and take bullet points away or review strategy.

“Over 50% of the broadband usage in Europe is video”, said Fernando Gil del Bernabé from Cisco Systems. And yet a large portion of online video have not embraced social media features.

The Open Video Conference brings together creators, entrepreneurs, technologists, policy-makers, hackers, academics, and others to share their insights on how open video enables creative expression and technical innovation.

Conference participants will also examine the challenges that keep online video from becoming a first-class citizen on the web. For one, online video playback is beset by a mess of proprietary formats, license fees, and plugins that segment viewership and complicate self-publishing efforts. Unlike blogs, email, and other staples of the open web—which rely on open standards—most online video content is delivered through proprietary codecs, like Adobe?s popular Flash player.
