You Need to Think about Video

Some recent analysis shows that I access Internet content through an iPad 70% of the time, 10% through a smart phone (BB) and 20% through a Mac Book. I am probably not representative of the user universe but I am sure other people have my problem. Too many website videos do not run on my iPad or BB. I do not even like videos and I am very annoyed when a new product demo video does not run on one of my devices (the only videos I watch). Would website developers please use Vimeo, YouTube or another web-based alternative. Imagine how annoying it is to people that enjoy a wide range of videos when their device cannot run the video. The more subtle point here is that web-based messaging of all types needs to be hardware platform and software independent. On a similar note, post formatting will improve as soon as Typepad comes out with a better way to produce stories on the iPad.
