Re: Netflix Different Take on it.
5 minutes is the new long? That is indeed somewhat, but not entirely, suprising. In my company, which has a global presence, we have a coordinated training program across all offices. We are ditching the traditional "classroom" type training in favor of a more consultative approach we are calling "touches." The duration? 5-10 minutes.

Re: Netflix Different Take on it.
vnewman - I have to say that sounds like a better approach to what we call "productive video", i.e., video used for productivity rather than entertainment or consumer communication. I find video training is best when it's short, precise and specific to a particular task. But I haven't seen data on short vs. long form video training effectiveness.

Re: Netflix failed!
I didn't see Marco Polo, but sometimes you just can't recreate that certain magic a particular series possesses. One new feature Netflix is rolling out on the web is the "Skip Opening" feature which is still being tested apparently. I can't see how this would be a miss - wouldn't everyone love to bypass those opening credits?

Re: Netflix Different Take on it.
@vnewman - I actually watch a fair amount of anything I watch from my smartphone. I don't really notice much loss by way of quality. I'm watching it that way because I really want to watch something and that's the method I have to do so. I personally have never been that picky when it comes to the quality of shows I'm watching. I really never cared much for HD, or plasma or 3D or any of the "new technologies" that came to TV screens. I'm in it for the content of the shows, and that doesn't change no matter where you watch it.

Re: Netflix Different Take on it.
You have to give both Amazon and Netflix credit for what they are doing. They are changing the way we think about content.
I fully expect them to continue to disrupt this industry. Which is good, because television needed a good old boot in the behind.

Re: Netflix Different Take on it.
I agree. I've always been more of a Netflix person rather than turning on the tv. It's nice to see what Netflix is coming out with and how they're forming into a company for a newer generation.
