Re: [videoblogging] Re: MySpace Suicide Note -Solution
It sounds reasonable, though it would be tricky to ensure that the contact actually is good and stays good - they'd have to do a round of verification, and check it now and then. However, I should think MySpace would be powerfully motivated - they've had so much bad press and panicky parent reactions that being pro-active in this way could be very welcome. Maybe you can get in touch with the VP for safety or whatever title that was appointed a few months ago? And/or ask danah boyd to do it (I dropped her an IM the other day pointing to your blog). And, again, go after the press attention - not for yourself, but because it's a topic that deserves attention. The holiday feel-good factor alone would probably sell the story right now.

I believe CSIRO (a government scientific institution in Australia) has been looking at etching text onto glass tiles as a means of long-term storage. Of course even if you find a durable physical medium, there's still the question of encoding. We have documents that we can't read because the script used is undecipherable (I think Linear A is still partly undecipherable, and there's a constant debate over how Inka quipus should be read). There's some interesting discussion about how we should mark repositories of high-level nuclear waste in such a way that future generations who may not share a common language with us can recognize them and steer clear.

Famously, NASA has telemetry data from the Apollo and other programs and even technical blueprints for the Saturn V that it can no longer read. As a software developer, the lesson I take from this is that there's job security in being a data-format conversion expert. And that anyone who creates a format should document the hell out of it (presumably in plain text, carved on a slab of granite). For electronic data, I think the only key to survivability is to keep moving forward. Every five years, copy your information to a new storage medium and convert it to the most current format for that type of data. But there's an obvious problem there if you're dealing with 'lossy' encoding schemes such as the ones used for compressed video. A few iterations, and - like a sixth-generation copy of a cassette tape or a photocopy - you're left with more noise than signal.

Good luck with the show. Technical point: Your intro music is at least three times as loud as your voice. Causing the viewer to adjust audio levels messes up their immersion.

[videoblogging] Re: MySpace Suicide Note -Solution
Abuse can't be avoided, for the reasons someone stated before. The best bet with a system like that would be to have the emergency information hidden and only accessed via a button on the user's page. Even then, as Edmund stated, there's nothing stopping someone from using the button when it wasn't necessary, not only spamming that one user, but the system in general that would be used to monitor these button-presses. I know you're saying the emergency contact people would be contacted directly, but there would also have to be some sort of system of tracking who dialed it in, especially if there are supposed to be penalties for system abuse. Second, lots of people are going to put in fake information if the form is mandatory. If it's not mandatory, they're not going to put in information at all. Only the people that completely buy into the system and trust it will be able to benefit if something goes wrong with them. On top of that, having the emails/IMs go to an emergency contact person instead of a centralized group that's been charged with handling these things assumes that A) the person on the contact list has immediate access to either IMs or their email, and B) they're willing/able to do something about it, immediately. That's why people get paid to be firemen. Their job is to sit around doing nothing until the moment that they're needed, then they go into action, IMMEDIATELY, and do what they're trained to do. Your system would need a central location that has these contacts 'on file', and is in charge of making things happen, ASAP. I think your idea is a very good one, but implementing it creates opportunities for abuse and you have to take the good with the bad in order to be able to potentially save someone's life. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Zadi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been mulling over a few ideas for the past couple of days and I came up with this: What if MySpace (or any social networking site) had an in case of emergency, contact form that you had to fill out when you signed up?

[videoblogging] Amanda on ABC is not a vlog
Howdy, I read through pretty much all the posts on new Amanda show on ABC. Who can blame me for not reading them all there were well over 100 all told. I started this new thread because what I have to say has nothing to do with Amanda or Andrew. It has to do with the specific details of this new vlog, which Amanda pardon me for saying this it's nothing personal, is a complete disgrace, completely misses the whole point of vlogging and is pretty much doomed to fail. Above all, it is not a vlog because it simply has NONE, NONE of the conventions of a blog whatsoever, and it's really quite a shame too because I think we ALL including Andrew on some level want Amanda's new web based video show to be a success. My thoughts were to explosive and inflamatory to post here, so I've posted them to my blog instead. http://mmeiser.com/blog/2006/12/amanda-condons-new-vlog-on-abc-is-not.html Please note that this is not about Andrew or Amanda personally but their ABC and the platform they've built for Amanda. I know it's almost impossible but if we could refrain from any personal issues and focus our discussion on the platform that is abcnews.go.com/Amanda I believe we all might learn something about how NOT to put video online and hopefully ABC can make some improvements. The ONLY thing I see ABC doing right is they have appeared to update the website with a url not just to iTunes but to the actuall RSS feed. Which is great because the RSS feed is the ONLY way that's even remotely plausable to acces amanda's show on a regular basis. Not that one would until the horrendous advertising gets fixed. I hope noone will mistake my bluntness for a lack of love. It's quite the contrary. ABC insults us all of us as vloggers, as fans or would be fands of the Amanda show, and above all Amanda. It even insults Andrew and what he's done with rocketboom as it learns virtually nothing from what he accomplished. I still get the feeling that ABC still things everything important is what happens IN the video, and that how the video is accessed and viewed on the web is completely inconsequential.

Steve- Having just been in Japan for the first time a month ago, I must say that I was most surprised by the deepness and gentleness of the repressive culture, but also of how people are able to justify the codes to themselves. This could just be a product of the language, as anything with any certainty spoken could get your head cut off in the old days, but I found it interesting how they have absorbed Western culture and not absorbed it at all at the same time. As far as any openness for vlogging and such, I ran into young creative Japanese while I was there who were as you say, more interested in their immediate shadow then broadcasting themselves to the world. But what I also found was a curiosity for new kinds of experiences as well, and curiosity for culture and enriching themselves in their own culture. This means to me that especially the young Japanese are open to see new things, but not necessarily interested in some kind of narcissism or need to share their perspective with the world. The Japanese filmmakers that I met there were more interested in just being a cog in the structure, rather than being strident, but my experience was limited. Though I must say that the most impressive people I met there were some Japanese and Chinese visual artists who are creating their own style that is different and totally distinct. I don't know, maybe it's just a matter of time, but I think that young Japanese are very open to viewing vlogs and such. I don't know if there is such a thing as an international universal style but maybe there doesn't have to be. As you know, Japan is all about niche.

She's camera shy despite having been gorgeous. I asked my students in Computer Communication class about my assumptions that liberalizing education in the past decade or so would have led to students more thinking for themselves (or just less studying), which in Maslovian reasoning would spawn more desire for self-expression (unless there were a cultural inhibition), then through current technologies a flowering of blogging and so forth on the open Web. But the students only confirmed the cultural inhibition. They mentioned repercussions of standing out, such as jealousies or resentments that could be aroused. One said self-expression could hurt others, sort of confusing it with frankness or openness (which is alien to Japanese culture), when I was thinking more of creative self-expression.

If motogp.com is broadcasting the race live right now, you should be able to post a link to that race, basically saying the race is on right now, and here it is -. You should NOT be able to embed their feed on your site as if you were the one with the time, money and connections to bring this race live to the fans on the internet. It's not clear from the text of the original post what supercrosslive.com was actually doing.

[videoblogging] Moving your video to a new RSS (Libsyn to Blip) any advice?
I've been hosting on libsyn since the begining of my vidcast well over a year ago, but the time to move has come. I've been cross posting my show on Blip.tv to kick the tires and try out their service and I'm really liking it and I now want to move my show over exclusively to their service, BUT I want to do it as seemlessly as possible. Has anyone moved over from libsyn to a new service? Any tips would be appreciated especially from personal expereience. I've created a feedburner feed for my show (havn't activated it yet) and plan on using that for my main RSS feed (to keep from ever having to do this again) and I think Libsyn has a redirect I can use, but I know kinks will arise so I come to you guys for advice. Thanks in advance! Rev Chumley http://www.cultofuhf.com

[videoblogging] Let's band together to do something about Global Warming!!!
Okay, listen people... this is important. We have no snow in Montreal... NONE. I seriously believe that we are being affected by global warming and would like to know if you are being affected as well. If so, I would like to propose a community collaboration: - Make a vlog entry about global warming and how it is affecting the weather in your area; - Tag it! (What do you think of the tag vlogforglobalwarming?) - We should make a collective site to post the videos in a central location (with link backs to the original posts) - Promote it heavily to see if we can make a difference in the world... Feel free to show your concern and even rant at your government for not doing enough... Let me know what you think about this... it's sad that the winter wonderlands that many of us grew up in will not be white for Christmas.

Hey Mark, Here's what I wrote in response to your comment in the comment section... --- Hi Mark, Thanks for chiming in! YouTubers, in my opinion, are independent media makers so they fall into the us catagory. MySpace, as I believe Dave Winer once put it, is a blog on training wheels. I am not trying to say that they do not count. They do! They are part of all this as well! I'm saying that many people are not in any way involved in internet culture. Those people are not at the forefront of this revolution, and therefore I don't believe they should be Person of the Year make sense?

ER --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Meiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howdy, I read through pretty much all the posts on new Amanda show on ABC. Who can blame me for not reading them all there were well over 100 all told. I started this new thread because what I have to say has nothing to do with Amanda or Andrew. It has to do with the specific details of this new vlog, which Amanda pardon me for saying this it's nothing personal, is a complete disgrace, completely misses the whole point of vlogging and is pretty much doomed to fail. Above all, it is not a vlog because it simply has NONE, NONE of the conventions of a blog whatsoever, and it's really quite a shame too because I think we ALL including Andrew on some level want Amanda's new web based video show to be a success. My thoughts were to explosive and inflamatory to post here, so I've posted them to my blog instead. http://mmeiser.com/blog/2006/12/amanda-condons-new-vlog-on-abc-is-not.html Please note that this is not about Andrew or Amanda personally but their ABC and the platform they've built for Amanda. I know it's almost impossible but if we could refrain from any personal issues and focus our discussion on the platform that is abcnews.go.com/Amanda I believe we all might learn something about how NOT to put video online and hopefully ABC can make some improvements. The ONLY thing I see ABC doing right is they have appeared to update the website with a url not just to iTunes but to the actuall RSS feed. Which is great because the RSS feed is the ONLY way that's even remotely plausable to acces amanda's show on a regular basis. Not that one would until the horrendous advertising gets fixed. I hope noone will mistake my bluntness for a lack of love. It's quite the contrary. ABC insults us all of us as vloggers, as fans or would be fands of the Amanda show, and above all Amanda. It even insults Andrew and what he's done with rocketboom as it learns virtually nothing from what he accomplished. I still get the feeling that ABC still things everything important is what happens IN the video, and that how the video is accessed and viewed on the web is completely inconsequential.

Above all, it is not a vlog because it simply has NONE, NONE of the conventions of a blog whatsoever, and it's really quite a shame too because I think we ALL including Andrew on some level want Amanda's new web based video show to be a success. My thoughts were to explosive and inflamatory to post here, so I've posted them to my blog instead. http://mmeiser.com/blog/2006/12/amanda-condons-new-vlog-on-abc-is-not.html Please note that this is not about Andrew or Amanda personally but their ABC and the platform they've built for Amanda. I know it's almost impossible but if we could refrain from any personal issues and focus our discussion on the platform that is abcnews.go.com/Amanda I believe we all might learn something about how NOT to put video online and hopefully ABC can make some improvements. The ONLY thing I see ABC doing right is they have appeared to update the website with a url not just to iTunes but to the actuall RSS feed. Which is great because the RSS feed is the ONLY way that's even remotely plausable to acces amanda's show on a regular basis. Not that one would until the horrendous advertising gets fixed. I hope noone will mistake my bluntness for a lack of love. It's quite the contrary. ABC insults us all of us as vloggers, as fans or would be fands of the Amanda show, and above all Amanda. It even insults Andrew and what he's done with rocketboom as it learns virtually nothing from what he accomplished. I still get the feeling that ABC still things everything important is what happens IN the video, and that how the video is accessed and viewed on the web is completely inconsequential.

New Television Show on Charter Communications Swing TV presents The Queen Jamie Show on Charter Cable Television in Southern California. The musical feature is emerging artist Melisa Belgrade. Long Beach, CA (PRWeb) December 22, 2006 -- Swing Management presents The Queen Jamie Show on Charter Cable Television in Malibu, Burbank, Glendale and Long Beach, California. Swing into the holiday season December 23-24th, 2006. The Queen Jamie Show shines on emerging artist Melisa Belgrade (note the spelling of MeLisa) showcasing her appearance on CSULB's Internet radio station, kbeach.org You may view a clip of both the video and audio now at myspace.com/melisabelgrade ) Swing, the QJS executive producer, says, This isn't a 'reality show,' this is an 'Experience.' The show gives a glimpse behind the scenes and insight into the songwriting process. My goal is to apply Six Sigma, a scientific technology, to the Art of Music composition and performance. Swing chose to feature Ms. Belgrade because she reminds him of a modern day Edie Brickell. Queen Jamie is the wink surrounded in pink, and she does a fine job of asking the right questions of her guests. The Uninvited Pianist also appears. Southern Californians may recognize him from the Beverly Hills Hotel and Celebrity Centre. The targeted audience of The Queen Jamie Show are those who live, work and play in the demographic areas of Southern California, especially Charter cable TV subscribers. In addition, the folks around the world who also enjoy commercial-free TV can enjoy segments of the show coming soon to Swing TV and YouTube. KaRi of TPSradio (CSULB+Cerritos College) and promoter of LBCTelevision (Long Beach Community Television) via Charter Communications describes The Queen Jamie Show as a prime example of 'infotainment'. She suggests musicians might find the record label information entertaining and useful and she describes Swing as a musical mentor of the mind who himself has shared the concert bill with signed bands including Quiet Riot, Foghat, Robin Trower, Montrose, Molly Hatchet, Edgar Winter and Blue Oyster Cult. The Queen Jamie Show can be viewed in Malibu on Charter TV December 23rd and 24th on Channel 16 at 7 p.m. and on Christmas Eve (9:30 a.m.) in Glendale and Burbank on Charter TV Channel 31.

Re: [videoblogging] Amanda on ABC is not a vlog
Exactly Peter, ABC, is completely ignorant of the the potential of vidoe on the web and just replicating the sam ol' sh*t that worked on TV, but now's the chance to send a message and make a point. To clue big media in, and to help Amanda out. Amanda, I knew you know what makes vlogs work, that's perhaps why I pushed so hard. I understand... you're working with a big player they probably don't care what you think... tradtionally you're just the personality, the pretty face on the screen, they're probably not used to their on air tallent telling their techies how to do their job. We got your back, just send them this way and we'll clue them in. BTW, I did notice you got your RSS feed up. Half the trouble is just that the page is a mess. And so is the RSS feed. The permalinks for example in the feed just link back to a generic ABC podcast overview page, this is utterly clueless. RSS feeds aren't just about aggregation they're about search and findability as well. The whole idea of the permalink is to tie the videos / podcasts back to the original post, the original show notes. Your vlog on ABC seems to have todays shownotes/ links... but I'll be damned if I know where they go after that. ABC should get a clue and just install a stock wordpress platform it'd do a thousand fold more for you. Videoblogging is not just a web page or a place holder it's a communications platform and untill ABC understands all the dozens of little things a blogging platform does and WHY they do it they shouldn't be trying to replicate it. I could go on and on about a dozen or more other blogging innivations that are extremely important like blogrolling, but the fact that ABC missed nearly every major one so obviously is just sad. Please be kick ass. Please take abc to geek girl camp 101 and kick their ass inline, because I've got to say, if you don't your going to pay the price in extremely low viewership because they are way, way off base. Heh, and if they'll only listen to someone they pay a lot of money, through my hat in the ring I do consulting. I know how to charge someone lots of money so they respect your opinion. Heh, sometimes it's the only way to get them to listen. :) -Mike mmeiser.com/blog mefeedia.com On 12/22/06, Peter Leppik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: With any new medium it takes time for people to figure out what works.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Amanda on ABC is not a vlog
Amanda, Am angle I might take with ABC is to just let you setup your own vlog where you can post the weekly videos (and anthing else you might care to contribute) on it with proper RSS feeds. They can still incorporate your videos into that god-awful ad-ridden abyss of a popup window UI since thats the standard for the industry and I doubt you will get them to completely drop that approach. But to let you have this companion videoblog would be great and could even be used to compare views/subscribers between the two environments in which case you would have some good proof to show them (assuming the numbers are good/better than the standard VOD player thingie).

[videoblogging] Re: Amanda on ABC is not a vlog
Here's the press release, for those of you that aren't aware of what ABC's goals are: -- http://www.abcmedianet.com/pressrel/dispDNR.html?id=111406_02from=mnsearch ABC Television Network PRESS RELEASE - ENTERTAINMENT - BLOGGER AMANDA CONGDON JOINS ABC NEWS' DIGITAL MEDIA GROUP Print This Document (note: To use this function, upgrade your browser: Quick Download) VIDEO BLOGGER AMANDA CONGDON JOINS ABC NEWS DIGITAL MEDIA GROUP AS A CONTRIBUTOR Dedicated to expanding its network and channel brands across multiple platforms and connecting viewers with their favorite shows anytime and anywhere, Disney-ABC Television Group announced today that Amanda Congdon has joined ABC News Digital Media Group as a contributor. In this role she will primarily contribute through a weekly video blog on the network's online component, ABCNEWS.com, and frequently appear on the 24-hour digital channel, ABC News Now. We are excited about the addition of Amanda and her unique, insightful approach to our team said Albert Cheng, executive vice president, Digital Media, Disney-ABC Television Group. Her background and proven ability to effortlessly blend news and pop culture will be invaluable assets as we continue to evolve how we deliver news and information across our digital platforms. I am very pleased to be joining the Disney-ABC Television Group team. They are breaking new ground online and I am eager to forge ahead with them, said Ms. Congdon. Many people use the internet as their #1 news source, so it's exciting that a major news provider like ABC News is actively expanding their original program offerings in the space. Ms. Congdon recently traveled across the country as part of her AmandaAcrossAmerica project, where she chronicled her experiences via video blogging, which included interviewing Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack. Prior to her nationwide tour, she was the well- known host of the daily online news show, Rocketboom.com. Ms. Congdon graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern University and currently resides in Los Angeles. The ABC News Digital Media group continues to show incredible growth through both ABCNEWS.com and ABC News Now. ABCNEWS.com hit a five-year high in October with more than 138 million page views, showing a 77% increase from October 2005, according to an internal measurement tool. The site recently ranked seventh among all news sites, drawing its highest ranking in nearly three years. ABC News Now is one of the most widely distributed broadband channels, available to over 27 million broadband subscribers, and is innovating the marketplace with its own line of viewer-generated programming, Be Seen and Be Heard. This announcement is part of the Disney-ABC Television Group's overall Digital Media multiplatform business initiative and demonstrates the Group's ongoing commitment to launching new digital products and working with strategic partners in the digital media space to make its high-quality, informative and entertaining content available to consumers whenever and wherever they choose.

To clue big media in, and to help Amanda out. Amanda, I knew you know what makes vlogs work, that's perhaps why I pushed so hard. I understand... you're working with a big player they probably don't care what you think... tradtionally you're just the personality, the pretty face on the screen, they're probably not used to their on air tallent telling their techies how to do their job. We got your back, just send them this way and we'll clue them in. BTW, I did notice you got your RSS feed up. Half the trouble is just that the page is a mess. And so is the RSS feed. The permalinks for example in the feed just link back to a generic ABC podcast overview page, this is utterly clueless. RSS feeds aren't just about aggregation they're about search and findability as well. The whole idea of the permalink is to tie the videos / podcasts back to the original post, the original show notes. Your vlog on ABC seems to have todays shownotes/ links... but I'll be damned if I know where they go after that. ABC should get a clue and just install a stock wordpress platform it'd do a thousand fold more for you. Videoblogging is not just a web page or a place holder it's a communications platform and untill ABC understands all the dozens of little things a blogging platform does and WHY they do it they shouldn't be trying to replicate it. I could go on and on about a dozen or

Hi everyone, I'm really glad so many of you are in... I have lost faith in our governments and believe we need to put pressure on them to take action. I've received a couple of suggestions to tag vlogglobalwarming so I guess we should use that. Let's see if we can inspire others to do the same and try to make a difference. I'll try making a short video in the next week over the holidays. Thanks for caring for the world we live in! Let us know when you post your videos!

We have no snow in Montreal... NONE. I seriously believe that we are being affected by global warming and would like to know if you are being affected as well. If so, I would like to propose a community collaboration: - Make a vlog entry about global warming and how it is affecting the weather in your area; - Tag it! (What do you think of the tag vlogforglobalwarming?) - We should make a collective site to post the videos in a central location (with link backs to the original posts) - Promote it heavily to see if we can make a difference in the world... Feel free to show your concern and even rant at your government for not doing enough... Let me know what you think about this... it's sad that the winter wonderlands that many of us grew up in will not be white for Christmas.
