That said, I can't imagine me thrusting myself upon people with all of my manic hand gesturing and furious gesticulations! However, if you can't do the video thing, a picture is the next best thing...

Just made <a href="http://www.playlibrary.com/2006/12/14/video-of-little-mommy-play-all-day-toddler-doll-and-me/" rel="nofollow">my first video</a> for Play Library showing off a doll that is scaring some people. :D I think SHORT videos are best of something less than 2 minutes demonstrating a product or a way of doing things.

There are certain things that do well being conveyed by video, but... Video is being used to convey things that work best in text. I don't know how many 5+ minute videos I've gone through that say stuff that could have been conveyed in a well constructed post that I could have been through in 1 minute. The occasional use of them in order to more personalize the creator with the audience works well... but that's about it.
