How does it work? Streamed data is transmitted by a server application, and received and displayed in real-time by client applications such as the Microsoft's Windows Media Player or the QuickTime Player. These applications can start displaying video or playing back audio as soon as enough data has been received and stored in the receiving station's buffer

Your summary had a clear and easy-to-understand definition of streaming video. The benefits and disadvantages were clearly listed. I found the "Finding Videos" section helpful. Most of all, I liked your example at the bottom--very well done. One word of caution, read your text carefully before posting because I noticed a few spelling and consistency errors.
Your blog was very easy to read and helpful.
Hey Guys. Your blog was very clear and organzied well. I don't know if the double bullets was an accident, but I actually thought that looked pretty cool. The section on how videos work was very informative and something I hadn't thought of including in my teams blog; I really liked it. There were some spellig errors, but I had not thought of all the advantages/disadvantages you included so good job with that. The video at the end really put it over the top! Good job.

Different view in this article, I like how you mentioned the disadvantages of using this type of media. Including the video was also a great idea.
Your article was short but right to the point. You included the disadvantages and advantages along with how to create video with out it being too long. I really liked how you actually put a video clip on the page!
