[videoblogging] Viddler's New Video Comment Plug-In
Hey guys, wanted to share this with you because I'm super excited about it. Viddler has released a small beta of their video comment plug-in for wordpress which I am now using (testing) on my site. You can see it in action on my latest vlog post: http://www.idoitdigital.com/2008/02/11/moments-dec07-jan08 http://www.idoitdigital.com/2008/02/11/moments-dec07-jan08 I really love this because you can record a video right there on my site, or the site you're leaving the comment on. Also, if you don't have a viddler account you can create one in the same pop-up box as well; meaning you never have to leave the site :) So if you get a chance, take a look at it and give a try. Colin is releasing the first patch later today to fix the first set of bugs we've identified, but so far I'm loving it. Here is Colin's original post about it as well: http://cdevroe.com/notes/videocomment-test http://cdevroe.com/notes/videocomment-test [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video advertising
Your words are golden Bill. Only good content is king, rather than just any content. Just because content is created doesn't mean it's worth watching. On another note though, I am surprised that none of the companies, including blip, takes notice about what the producers need to monetize online shows, they only look at the scenery of online video from their software programming mindset. And when they flip, they wonder what they did wrong... It's all about usability testing!!! Put yourself in the shoes of the end-user and see if you will resonate to the existing video ad approaches. Big advertising platform creators like Maven networks and Move networks have it tailored for huge Fox-like corporations to be smoothly transforming their traditional TV content to the web. However, there's no company with a practical solution that does that for the independent producers. Does that mean that the future of online video advertising is only for the established TV brands? Why can't independent content producers establish an alliance that works with advertisers directly? There needs to be an RSS video ad approach for this to work. If there's any Adobe Flex programmers reading this they should take notice that this is where online video can prosper benefiting all. Similar to Google's Adwords this RSS feed would automatically embed itself to the most watched episode of an online show, hence advertisers are happy that the ad is seen by many. Also URL hotspots in the video is also essential for product placement for new tab opening when the end-user clicks on it. What are your thoughts on this? --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Bill Cammack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: While I respect what he's saying, because he's the one with the company that deals with the business end of making money off of people that make videos, I don't think lack of content is the problem here. The problem *now* is what I've BEEN saying the problem is, which is that without a way to figure out whether suburban males with lawns that are likely to buy a lawnmower are tuning in to your show, you can't sell advertising to lawnmower manufacturers. To say that there isn't enough content for companies to advertise on doesn't take into account that there's tons of content that NOBODY wants to advertise on because of lack of perceived ROI. That's what's so funny about this video boom. People are rushing to make a site where people are going to get on the bandwagon and upload UGC and they think they're going to make all this money from it, when in reality, they don't know JACK about video, they don't know JACK about building, growing and maintaining an audience, they don't know JACK about creating, advertising or moderating a social site... All they know is that there's gold in them thar hills! :D Get them a pan. There's CONTENT being made every single day, just on youtube alone. The point is that none of it's monetizable because you can't tell who's clicking on it, and unless you're willing to do some form of shotgun advertising where you know a show gets 200,000 views per week and you're willing to take a chance on them, it's not CONTENT you want, but GOOD content, NICHE content and content you're likely to see ROI from.

[videoblogging] Verizon... Old News but frustrating...
http://www.wireless-weblog.com/50226711/ verizon_wireless_unlimited_evdo_data_plan_is_limited.php I'm getting kicked offline continuously these days. I wonder if this is affecting me. I'm not using much bandwidth, but I sure am doing more than checking email and surfing the net. I'm connecting to my host server and uploading 50+ MB weekly. I'm not DL much, as it's too friggin' slow out here in the sticks. I'm online constantly developing my sites and my connection is on nearly all the time. I don't think I'm using the internet inappropriately. From the Man: Unlimited Data Plans and Features (such as NationalAccess, BroadbandAccess, Push to Talk, and certain VZEmail services) may ONLY be used with wireless devices for the following purposes: (i) Internet browsing; (ii) email; and (iii) intranet access (including access to corporate intranets, email, and individual productivity applications like customer relationship management, sales force, and field service automation). The Unlimited Data Plans and Features MAY NOT be used for any other purpose. Examples of prohibited uses include, without limitation, the following: (i) continuous uploading, downloading or streaming of audio or video programming or games; (ii) server devices or host computer applications, including, but not limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, automated machinetomachine connections or peertopeer (P2P) file sharing; or (iii) as a substitute or backup for private lines or dedicated data connections. This means, by way of example only, that checking email, surfing the Internet, downloading legally acquired songs, and/or visiting corporate intranets is permitted, but downloading movies using P2P file sharing services and/or redirecting television signals for viewing on laptops is prohibited. A person engaged in prohibited uses, continuously for one hour, could typically use 100 to 200 MBs, or, if engaged in prohibited uses for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, could use more than 5 GBs in a month.

[videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video advertising
Interesting points Bill, of course as you stated you have been making this point for quite a while ;) What's more interesting to me, is that without a way for people to make money, well let me rephrase that, without a company who is hosting video content online, like a YouTube, Blip, etc without a way for them to make money, they eventually go awaycause sooner or later they gotta pay for all that bandwith, now, YouTube is probably in a better position but as the possible sale or non sale of Rever is showing us, anything can happen. At the end of the day it's about turning a profit for companies even those that we love, like blip...that's what scares me, all these companies folding cause they can't figure out a way to make money AND support independent content.
