Online video is growing faster than anyone would have thought in 2006 when YouTube was still a baby, and packed full of low quality videos. As online video entertainment evolves, it’s interesting that people from all walks of life are interested in creating content capable of reaching millions of people just like the big TV networks have done for decades.

There are new possibilities and opportunities in online video that simply didn’t exist even a year or two ago. The problem is that most video creators and filmmakers can’t create video content that has the potential to go viral online because they lack outside human talent needed for their projects. For the most part, the content that grabs the attention of lots of viewers had quality people behind the production project to make it a success.

Spidvid’s solution to this problem is to provide the framework needed so that talent worldwide can connect, collaborate, and create video entertainment together. When Spidvid was first launched it took awhile for people to catch onto the new media model, but more and more with each passing day a better understanding is taking shape. It’s exciting to think about new video entertainment getting created based on connections, relationships, and partnerships being formed on Spidvid.

If you want to start creating better quality video entertainment, then why not grab a free Spidvid account and then tap into the talent of our community to see what kind of projects make sense to collaborate and move forward on.

We are always looking for good communities, shows, videos, films, and events to get behind. Damian Pelliccione is heavily involved within the new media scene, and video production world. He successfully organizes a monthly mixer event in downtown Los Angeles called New Media Vault, which brings together hundreds of like-minded individuals working in and around new media.

Damian informed me that he was coming to Toronto in August and mentioned he wanted to do a New Media Vault Toronto event, and wanted me to help him co-organize it. I was on board from that moment on and since then all of the details have been worked out for a Monday, August 23rd event in downtown Toronto. If you reside in or will be in Toronto on that date, then you should definately come out because you will meet some extraordinary people who share the same new media passion you do. And if you’re lucky you may win a door prize, discover a new yummy drink, or meet what could turn out to be your future husband or wife. This isn’t a match maker event, but roof top patios in the summer can be pretty magical at times.

If you have a new media event that we should get behind then please let us know about it on Twitter, Facebook, or in the comments below.
