The point is - is anybody getting anything for their work? yes, we are getting micropayments for our work. we have customers who use paypal, but google checkout seems more popular in third world countries. yes, we sell all over the world, and paypal does not trade in some currencies. we get $5 per item. google checkout has a special catagory for 'micropayments', lets us keep about 20 cents paypal would have taken for the same sale. this profit stream becomes a target for competitors. we routinely get deleted from youtube - the exact same material that is on display at blip gets deleted from youtube. http://thedaredolldilemmas.blip.tv so we got deleted again this week. time to create some new aliases and start again on youtube. if anyone out there would care to add some of our videos to an existing youtube account, i am curious to see how our stalker would handle that.
[videoblogging] Google Video no longer accepts uploads
This was briefly mentioned last week here, but thought I'd post an official notice: http://googlevideo.blogspot.com/2009/01/turning-down-uploads-at-google-video.html In a few months, we will discontinue support for uploads to Google Video. Don't worry, we're not removing any content hosted on Google Video -- this just means you will no longer be able to upload new content to the service. We've always maintained that Google Video's strength is in the search technology that makes it possible for people to search videos from across the web, regardless of where they may be hosted. And this move will enable us to focus on developing these technologies further to the benefit of searchers worldwide. I dont know any videoblogger that uploaded to Google Video so probably not a big deal. I know that Blogger did start allowing video uploads in Blogger posts...and they used Google Video. Wonder if that functionality will be affected. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Re:Boing Boing Video seeks new production space
Wow, this comes at a great time! We are also looking for same space, pretty much exactly as you are. We found someone to share space with, but we have not finalized it yet. Our drawback with sharing space with the company we found is that it is in Orange County (we currently live in The OC) and we are looking to move closer to LA. What time frame are you looking to move in? What length of lease are you looking for? -Lan www.TheBuiBrothers.com www.NoodleScar.com www.LanBui.com (Sent from my iPhone)
Re: [videoblogging] Re: Really Great Article on Media Trends and the Curation Economy
highly recommend you read Ted Nelson's original stuff from the 60s on hypertext and micropayments. He had a similar system except it also allowed for quotation and applied to all content. Ted's stuff won't help you build it but it might help solidify the ideas? On 12/01/2009, at 5:50 AM, Milt Lee wrote: That article was excellent. I've been contemplating a technology that would make all this happen much sooner. Suppose (and I'm sure many people have) that you had a system where folks could give you a few cents every time they looked at a video. Let's say you have a site with 10 videos that anybody can watch, and then you post 20 or 30 or 100 more that it costs anywhere from 1 cent to 10 cents ( or more) for people to watch. And on your site you have a little button that takes folks to another site where they buy credits - $ 5.00 or $ 10.00 at a time. Then they come back to your site, and click on a video that they want to watch, that costs 2 cents. They watch it and they are happy, and you've made two cents. Now when you reach a certain threshold - say $ 10.00, the Flick Bank deposits the money in your paypal account. You can let it gather if want. (Maybe the Flick bank pays interest??) The way this starts is that somebody puts together the Flick Kicks Bank, and starts signing up artists. Then Flick Kicks starts promoting the idea that people should get paid for their work. The problem that has held this back - that has stopped this process of mini-micro payments is that up until now, merchant account or Paypal, have charged $ .30 a transaction plus 2.7%. With this new system, Flicks has to pay for the transaction - but only once. So even though $ 5.00 represents 200-250 transactions, there's only one charge at the beginning and one that the artist pays, when they get their money.

[videoblogging] Re: Screen capture software?
I LOVE Jing and use it almost every day. I highly recommend it. I have also used Camtasia and think it's a great program but I get what I need very simply through Jing.

I wanted to ask the videoblogging collective what your favorite (and perferably free?) screen capture software is. I'm talking about to teach someone how to perform a function on a desktop. Audio is cool, but not necessary; I can add audio afterwards. Thoughts? Thanks! Susan http://vlog.kitykity.com
