Year in Review: 'The One Thing' SharePoint Video Series
On December 28, 2010, we launched the video series 'The One Thing You Need to Know About SharePoint 2010,' capturing advice and perspectives from SharePoint experts, MVPs, and MCMs from various events around the world. Each video generally runs between one and three minutes, and focuses on a favorite feature, solution, or best practice (and each with a different song from my extensive collection). Some of the experts helped promote their videos through their own blogs, through Facebook, and through Twitter, while others had their videos mentioned or linked through various news articles and web magazines. Altogether, the series has been a resounding success, with over 130 posted this year.
To close out the year, I thought I'd share a list of the most popular videos of 2011, listed by total number of views. To be fair, some of these videos were posted near the beginning of the year and have had more time to pick up views, while others have had a short run but picked up hits quickly -- but that's how it goes :-)
Top 10 OneThing Videos in 2011:
- The One Thing: Erica Toelle and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Laura Rogers and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Mark Miller and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Chris McNulty and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Fabian Williams on SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Susan Lennon and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Dux Raymond Sy and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Jeff Willinger and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Karuana Gatimu and SharePoint 2010
- The One Thing: Paul Swider and SharePoint 2010
As an honorable mention, I have to note that coming in at #11 is one of my all-time favorites The One Thing: Brian Jackett and SharePoint 2010 which, as some of you know, spawned a very popular t-shirt.
(Btw, the all-time most popular video on the Axceler channel was the funny short I did with the help of my daughter, called How to Become a SharePoint Site Admin)
Going into the new year, I am continuing to add to TheOneThing library, and will be posting videos recorded at the upcoming SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach (birthplace of the event, celebrating its 4th birthday!) and SharePoint Saturday Austin events. I am also expanding the series to include Office365 and Project Server, so watch for more new content coming to the Axceler site and to the Axceler YouTube channel in 2012.
Happy New Year!
