As the internet becomes more integrated into everyday life, the means by which to evaluate the inundation of information received must be refined further and further. This is especially true for internet videos which are one of the primary, and most versatile, ways to deliver information; this is either directly through a website, or through a video hosting service which is able to maintain user channels such as youtube. To evaluate these internet videos, three major criteria which have several varying aspects to them are useful. The first major criterion for evaluating internet videos is the general delivery of the video; one can judge the video in context of how well it is integrated into its platform and how well that platform delivers the video, both from hardware and interface aspects. The second major criterion concerns the content of the video and how well this content achieves its implicit goal in the viewer’s reaction . The third and final criterion, form, relates to the quality of the presentation and production of the content, as viewed from both technical and subjective perspectives. When several videos from varying backgrounds are viewed, the variance in the assessment criteria becomes especially evident. This variance is fully realized by analyzing videos created from the following diverse sectors: government, often producing videos with strong agendas; academia, often producing videos for the purposes of information (and often leveraging that into research funding); business, producing videos with the intent to cause viewers to buy their products; and non-profit or religious institutions, which often produce videos with very specific goals as stated by said organization.
