I happened across some excellent video testimonials at Fastservers.Net and I thought that I would share it with you. Flash video is certainly not new to the web as we are all probably painfully aware but video testimonials are pretty new to Web hosting.

Customer testimonials have evolved and it is great to see. I think the more natural they appear to the viewer
the easier it will be for a potential customer to relate and want to try your services. So if you decide to try it
out on your website, please let your biggest and brightest clients just do their thing, within reason of course.
I hear that the folks at Fastservers.Net just shipped out some neat little camcorders to their clients and they were
pleasantly surprised with what they got in return.
There are several tools that can help you with editing the video both of the free and paid variety (Adobe Premier,
Windows Movie Maker and Final Cut Pro for MAC). Once you think you have all the rough edges smoothed out then you are ready to upload to your servers. You can even try some of the viral features made popular by YouTube and others to share or embed the video.
Rackspace Managed Hosting is another Web hosting provider that has taken advantage of the Video testimonial and has done an excellent job of getting the Fanatical Support message across. Have you noticed any other web hosting companies doing the same?
