I'm definitely outside the norm here, but I hate the trend toward video, especially in tutorials. I can read and absorb much faster than I can sit and watch a video -- it's also easier to go back and look at text.
Mostly, though, it rubs me the wrong way because I have a lot of problems hearing. Now, maybe if everything had subtitles...
I agree video is not for everyone but it is definitely huge trend nowadays.
Just see Qwiki getting $8 million in funding for a platform that essentially converts text into video presentations automatically.
Video is annoying if it is done wrong, it it looks like just another TV commercial.
At Grumo my goal is to create concise explanatory videos that tell a little entertaining story and quickly explain what the website is all about.
