I may be wrong but I guess it's the social aspect which is researched.
It's like old links farms but for "Web 2.0", it give better page ranks and such.
As it's a manual process, Google is less touchy about that.

I'd like to hear what others think of these. Even with the "HD" (or
whatever it's called) version it's really difficult to read the text.
I guess I don't understand the reason for putting them on YouTube...
and why that reason is better than being able to read the text and
such. Could someone throw me a line?

I did some experiments uploading some of the training videos that
you can

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EK3kadkzS4&fmt=18
these are the only shorter than 10 mins that can be uploaded on
youtube.
The "&fmt=18" suffix is used to watch the video in "high resolution".
I put some tags on that and also grouped into a channel:
http://www.youtube.com/ofbiz
Of course if you guy think that the channel should not be there I will
remove it.
Just let me know.

I just peeked around to see about this and it looks like the highest
resolution possible is 480x360.
Is there any way to do more than that? That would probably be okay
for the
conference videos, but still not so much for the training videos.
It would
be interesting to try viewing them at that resolution, but my guess
is you'd
have a hard time reading the text on the screen and seeing the
cursor and
such.
On a side note, I don't think we can/should really have an
"official" ofbiz
related channel or anything on youtube as it is not official ASF
infrastructure (and so one person would have the account, and if
things
change in the PMC that has to be moved around, etc, etc). Still, we
can
certainly put conference videos and related things up there...
anyone can I
suppose... and at least have an "ofbiz" tag on them or whatever.

I actually looked at hosting these on YouTube or Google Video a
while
back,
but both of those services reduce the video and audio quality SO
much
that
the videos and things end up being somewhat less that useful.
The conference recordings might be fine there (just a less pleasant
viewing
experience), but the framework intro ones are recorded at
1024x768 and
wouldn't be too helpful at a lower resolution.

Of course even all the video that are here:

The videos on youtube are already on David's marketing action
list.
I have looked into it and found that the youtube "channel" is
even more
suitable compared to single videos (offers some possibilities
to edit
the
page in which the videos, group them toghether and some other).
If we are OK, should someone create the account and channel?

Yes sounds like a good viral idea

Hi,
what do you think about creating the OFBiz youtube channel and
moving
over
there the videos that are now here?
http://ofbiz.apache.org/VideosConf.html
At the moment they are not so attractive but I think they
could help
anyway
!
Having it on the youtube channer will:
1) let the video being server in streaming and not through
a .mov
download
2) let us tag the videos and put a link back to the OFBiz web
site
3) (hopefully) trigger developer to provide OOTB or own
application
screencasts
