Take Five Video Series - are you watching?

By Amy Barton (Intel) (25 posts) on May 16, 2008 at 12:05 pm

Ah, Friday, my favorite day for watching a few videos at work.

I've been monitoring how many developers are watching all of the segments of the video series we've posted on the Take Five site.   It is natural that not everyone will make it to the end, but I'm wondering if there is anything we could do better.

First, I'd like to know if any of these are the causes:
  A) Didn't know series were there
  B) Watched the video from a different page w/out the series navigation
  C) Didn't have time to watch them all
  D) The video, well, just wasn't that interesting
  E) My boss walked by, and I had to quickly switch screens from videos
  F)  Other:  ______________ 

Take a look at two of the series we've posted from the Game Developers Conference:  Optimizing DirectX for Mulicore, or the SkullTrail series with GRIN Software* and UbiSoft*.  Or the very long Confronting ManyCore series.   Once a video is playing in the player at the top of the site, there is a link that says "see Next in series" and/or "see Previous in series" to easily (at least I thought) move from one to the next. 

While you in the player, you can rate the videos, get the embed code and direct links, leave comments, and/or link back to the blogs.

To see more series, they are in "series boxes" on the tabs below the Take Five player.  If you mouse over the numer, you will get a video description. Be sure to click on the blue arrow to see the Virtualization and Community, and coming soon, Open Source tabs. 

I'd love to hear your comments, and answers to the mulitple choice above.  I'm hoping I don't get too many D's.

Happy Friday!
