I'm recording a video talking about the same thing. Sort of parralell evolution. Kinda in response to your thoughts and adding my own. I'll shoot you the link when it's up. Great site. You're really talented. John, great study and great topic. I’m recording a video talking about the same thing. Sort of parralell evolution. Kinda in response to your thoughts and adding my own.

I think whichever one was your natural self would have worked best really, whether that is the monotone version, the extrovert version... Also agreed on your points about IE6. Looking forward to more vids! Good stuff John- #2 is definitely the best.

Also agreed on your points about IE6.

Looking forward to more vids!

Gareth, great tips cheers, I'll certainly give those a try if/when I do any further vids! Hi Gary, I was hoping that Google Alerts would bring you over here ;) I’m glad it worked!

Not sure how much it would help but if you had the video in a neutraly lit room so no sun comeing in the side and maybe a clear background, this would at least clean up the visual perception that way its all about what your talking about.

A comment for the video - even if 97% of your users are on FF, if it's a 5/10 minute fix for IE6/IE7 then why would you NOT fix IE? It's common sense, 5 minutes of work for full IE6 support and you might as well, it's silly to not even look and see how bigger job it is. Great study.

You know I think that it's a relative thing though because the more people 'do' videoblogging, the more comfortable they become. I recall seeing a few ASP.NET MVC videos from Microsoft employees where they looked really uncomfortable. Thinking about it, I guess they were trying to appear "professional" as it was a mock-interview style but they should've just done it as two-geeks-dicussing-something-interesting. Not only would they have just talked (at length) about something they knew about, they'd have been more comfortable in front of the camera by being themselves instead of who (or what) they thought the audience wanted to see. Just my 2p Anyway - major kudos on doing this; i've not been brave enough to stick my ugly face in front of a camera yet. haha. Excellent stuff.

So people like to see all natural you. I can understand that. Makes perfect sense to me. Great study. So people like to see all natural you. I can understand that. Makes perfect sense to me.
