Do you know if your municipal government is online video-friendly, or video-hostile? I get extra ranty for this week’s podcast-and-article combo, exposing my former residence of Carpentersville, Illinois – 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago – perhaps the only local government left in the entire state (and perhaps the entire United States) with an actual hostility for online video, and how that willful ignorance ruined its chances for business growth, increased unemployment, and making it a laughing stock nationwide.

Some people are saying newspapers are dying, but one of them gave me my own “birth” into online video marketing and video search optimization. I speak of the Rocky Mountain News, the oldest newspaper in Colorado, which published its final edition on Friday, February 27, 2009. Almost exactly 3 years earlier to the date, their media coverage on myself set me on the path to doing my first documentary video project– an “excellent mistake” that got me to where I am today in online video marketing for the masses.
