While the post’s topic remains for you to figure out, here’s a tip on how to make your post more attractive, dynamic and, hell, even interactive!

YouTube Your Post!

There are not many untouched souls left today who hasn’t hear of YouTube. The best and perhaps only good example of video hosting, containing millions of video about anything and everything you can imagine. YouTube is a great source of videos to implement into your blogposts. It’s very easy since for every video that is uploaded on YouTube is accompanied by a string of html-data to simply copy/paste into your code-view while writting your posts.

This is not the most uncoventional blog tip but a very useful nonetheless. The inserted video will give your readers a complete picture about the post’s topic.

Post through Flickr

Using pictures to spice up the blog post is also a popular way. But rather than burdening your server’s bandwidth with uploaded images there are several web-based image galleries through which you can write blog posts with selected images and remotely publishing them directly on your blog. By getting an account you can gather images and easily set your blog settings this can be done in 5 minutes.

Video and image hosting is truly god-sent gifts to us bloggers and should be comtemplated more often. I have successfully untied my mental knot and actually dedicated a whole blog post in loving memory of YouTube and Flickr, the big guys in video and image hosting. Now it’s your turn :-)

This competition hierarchie is not at all uncommon and perhaps even the only alternative for any industry today. But the reason for this consumer concetration can also be due to consumer habbits. Of course, the best product or service will get the most attentions and companies like Coca-Cola, YouTube and Wal-Mart indeed deliver more enhanced products that their competitors. But sometimes the line between market leader and second best is thin, almost impossible to see. The online business, to me, seems full of such examples and I can’t help but think that consumer loyalty and straight layzeness is the cause why so many sites have the monopoly in their niche.

If we would only bother to google a bit more for alternative e.g video hosts and communities YouTube and Facebook wouldn’t be able to take their domination for granted. Or maybe we need to encourage more people to start own video hosts and online platforms. Maybe then there wouldn’t only be 1 site in monopoly for each market.
