After my previous post on Government 2.0, I ran across the story about the British Monarchy adopting Web 2.0: Queen Elizabeth Launches on YouTube.
The British Monarchy have set up their own channel on YouTube: The Royal Channel.
Who would have thought that Queen Elizabeth would have adopted social media before my firm (or your firm)?

Video on the Intranet
After my earlier post on using YouTube as KM platform to supplement an intranet, I saw this story on the Intranet Journal by Troy Dreier: Will Video Kill the Intranet Star?
The Nielsen Norman Group pointed out American Electric Power as a company that makes extensive use of videos on its intranet. I was nearly knocked over by their investment in infrastructure: a $300,000 studio with four broadcast-quality cameras, four teleprompters, a full lighting grid, a green-screen stage, and four editing suites. Plus, a staff of five people for video production and two IT members to handle streaming events.
That is a serious investment in making videos available on their intranet.

YouTube as a KM Platform
Arjun Thomas of It’s All about KM posted: YouTube a KM Platform?
He listed these five points as what makes a good KM Platform:
However, we do videotape training sessions and some group meetings for later use. However those videotapes sit on shelves and are not available through our intranet. Video caused a lot of problems with our infrastructure.
My solution was to offload the infrastructure to YouTube instead of trying to develop our own internal infrastructure. YouTube could be the plumbing. We could have a firm channel to organize and label the content. The content could be available internally and externally. Best of all, it is cheap and easy.
Of course, we would have to sanitize or exclude anything that addressed specific clients or trade secrets. But it would allow us to share training opportunities with clients.
The Cardozo Law School set up a channel with several short presentations. I think this would look great for a lawfirm. But nobody in my proposal meeting agreed with me.
