In the name of good vibes that flow on a Friday, SNOBS has launched Fab Finds Friday: a roundup of handy, brilliant, beautiful, fun and informative stuff from the interweb-week-that-was.
With our “Fab Finds” categorised by the content sections that already exist here at SNOBS, it’s kinda like a big dose of everything we have to offer, but without us having to write it. Woo hoo! Fridays ROCK!
KNOW IT ALL is where we store useful information on all aspects of business, including the business that is your personal development. Read about target marketing, branding, driving profits, raising finance, increasing customer loyalty, etc.
FAB FIND: This one is fairly self-explanatory…

FORWARD THINKING aims to cover innovation and technology on the basis that staying ahead of the competition has gotta be easier if you foster new ideas. Cultivate creativity, embrace upheaval and “tech your time”!
FAB FIND: Have you thought about marketing with video? With the ease of sites like YouTube and Vimeo it’s a cheap way to get a visual message to your customers. If your budget is minimal, or you want to experiment before paying a professional video editor, make the cuts yourself!

STYLE, BEAUTY, YOU covers fashion, fitness, health, design, well being, hair, makeup and more! It’s all about you staying beautiful and surrounding yourself with style and beauty.
FAB FIND: With the purse strings pulled tight, it’s a great time to get re-inspired about clothes you already own. This site lets fashion-confident people upload pics of great outfits they’ve “thrown together” or one item worn 3-4 ways. We’re not sure how they find the time, but it gets you thinking about what you’ve got to work with!

TIME OUT is where you’ll find stories and reviews on weekend escapes, overseas travel and much more. Can’t afford to leave your desk for lunch? That’s okay, too, because TIME OUT provides all sorts of tidbits to amuse, engage and pass the time.

TIME SAVERS is not one of the content categories at SNOBS but we’re tacking it onto the end of “Fab Finds” cos, damn, there’s some handy stuff out there!

I think one thing people need to be careful about with doing their own videos is that the Terms of Service of Vimeo, BlipTV, etc. prevent you using their service to host commercial video. And they will delete your account without warning.
Reading their TOS it’s a very very fine line as to what counts as commercial or not, and if you’ve spent much time on either one of those sites then you’ve probably seen countless videos that most would consider commercial in nature….
Video is still one of those business things that is a little difficult. Hosting the video yourself is often the best way, however if you’re video becomes popular then you’re going to either bring your web hosting down or go over your bandwidth limit and cop a big fat invoice from your hosting provider.
I’ve been playing around with Amazon’s S3 service, it looks the goods for commercial video hosting, and it’s pretty well priced too.
