[videoblogging] Re: do video blogger care about privacy?
I went through a period where it only freaked me out when somebody from my past found a blog / video / whatever of mine and either made a comment or emailed me direct. Strangers I'm all good with oddly. I have been trying to not spread my last name all over the net as often just to reduce googlability. Jarod.

[videoblogging] vlogeurope2007
I hope this doesn´t sound like a sad email, though that is how I feel. I won´t be able to make it to Heidelberg, and so will miss all the fun and metting all the people (some I met last year, others for the first time). Best of times to all, be curious, have fun and vlog till you drop. Why was I hopping this didnt sound sad? Because I want to urge people to go. Last year in Milan I took a leap into the unknown - litterally. I didn´t know Milan or anyone going. But the most wonderfull discovery was that all over the world, from very different backgrounds and experiences, from different ages and personal tastes there where people like me, that didn´t think it was weird to film all the time, and put video online. Jay Dedman once said these gatherings are very important, and he was right. So if in doubt, just jump up and go. Wish I was. All the best, Miguel.
Re: [videoblogging] vlogeurope2007
Fear not, Miguel! You can attend virtually, which I know isn't the same but it's the closest thing to coming. A lot of people just couldn't make it this year. For the Saturday sessions, we're streaming the entire event and will be using the chat as a projected backchannel. Raymond and I are also putting the finishing touches on the Sunday Vlogging Heidelberg session, and we're coming up with ways for remote participants to play along. Stay tuned. I'll be posting more information here later this week. And if anybody has any questions about Vlog Europe, please feel free to mail me or Raymond.

Re: [videoblogging] do video blogger care about privacy?
And I note that the culture on this list seems to be very open - for example, I often find cell phone numbers on some of the most active list participants on their sites, or even in email signatures ... as a group, it seems to me that we are very open in that way. I remember, in one video, Jay Dedman showing his new apartment, and commenting that the extra room was for anyone watching who needed an extra room when they were in New York for me, i always hated the kind of culture where people dont talk to each other. I grew up in the kind of household. I worked at CNN for a couple and left feeling like a stranger. Ive lived in many apartment buildings where I may only see 5 people in the hallways for a whole year. the great thing about urban environments is the anonymity. But it can also seems pointless to me. we can never have power if we arent talking to each other about the things that matter to us. Ive grown a suspicion that we barely even know how to talk about the things we care about. This group is interesting because we go out of our way to meet each other in person. people are flying all around the world to meet up. flying from Europe to NYC to go to rooftop BBQ? amazing. for me, its just nice to be myself without repercussions. I didnt feel comfortable at CNN being the weird guy that I ambut i can do it in the videos I make. If someone goes online to seeks out my videos, then good. welcome. If someone calls my cell number in my email signature, cool. I guess violence is the worse thing that can happen...but I think we all know that people are good. local news is the new cartoon. Its really our leaders and trusted companies that I worry about. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
[videoblogging] Win a Showcase Billing at the Improv Was: Grouper - now Crackle
I caught a segment on ABC mentioning http://imoondo.com and discovered this http://crackle.com through imoondo's blog. http://crackle.com/contest/details.aspx?idContest=1 Entries close in 3 Days 17 Hours 25 Minutes Think you're funny? Prove it. And, if you do, you could find yourself with a 15-minute set on the famous IMPROV stage. If you've got what it takes to captivate, entertain and most importantly make an audience laugh enter the High Wire contest and you might end up flying to LA, New York or Chicago. The winner will perform a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night set on the very stage that launched the careers of well, just about every famous comedian you've ever heard of And they have do's and don't. My eye was immediately drawn to this one ... DO - Use English language (should there be a the between Use and English?). Is this inclusive of Broken English? Queens English? Sorry Paul, looks like you may not be allowed to try out. Old English? Don't - - Submit videos over 40 minutes long (I can only assume their Judging panel have a maximum attention span of no greater than 40 minutes). I have seen several very funny people's work as a result of this group. Anyway, looked like something to share. If anyone from here enters, good luck.
