I just finished reading an article that says that by 2013 there will be one billion people watching online videos around the world. Why is this a big deal? Because it raises the awareness of online video in general. If you don't have online video on your own site, then you're going to stand out as someone who's not an expert.

In (sort of) related news, it turns out that lawyers (attorneys) who use online video with their website tend to have more contacts through their website than those who don't.

Why is that?

Because it helps people who are choosing a lawyer to get a feel for the lawyers personality before they even pick up the phone and make contact. So if your lawyer make sure you hire a good personality.
