Apply these rules to Politicians and you can count me in.

I agree with Rupert. (shock, gasp)

It seems they would like to impose regulations on free people that they 
begrudgingly impose on corporate society from time to time.  The only truth in 
advertising is in the fine print where they tell why everything they've said in 
large print is bullshit.

[videoblogging] interactive YouTube story videos

2009-10-07 Thread David King
Thought y'all would find this interesting. I know you can link to other
videos inside a YouTube video - but Shoebox (The Hallmark Cards guys)
created an interactive story video series - sorta fun!

http://www.shoeboxblog.com/?p=11676

Pretty cool to see those interactive youtube links used for something fun
and story-based.

Nice!  I've been working on this stuff a little - writing scripts and  
maps, developing projects and ways of keeping engagement immersive.

Along the way, we've been compiling some examples of what's been done  
so far.

Here are a couple:

One serious, to combat knife crime:

One silly comic book style adventure:

And here's a silly videoblog style one that I did last year:

I've also got that hypervideo exquisite corpse project going again,  
after putting it on hold when I had a baby last year.  Should be done  
by Christmas.

The Participatory Culture gang quietly launched a new site today:
http://videowtf.com/
It seems kind of what folks have been talking about on this list.
A website that is easily searchable for technical info.

Anyway, jumo in and answer some questions. Or ask away.

2009-10-07 Thread compumavengal
There are some bloggers on the other side of the fence, a few (small, minority) 
Parental bloggers have been shaking down PR folks for goodies, perks and pay 
for play. 

There have been raging debates about providing disclosure; i.e. tell your 
visitors you are receiving compensation. Inform visitors that the review, 
product or trip was given to you with expectations.

Some have questioned why they need to do this. They feel it doesn't matter that 
they get stuff free or have streams of $10 to $50 coming their way. Ethics is 
not their concern, getting money and free stuff across the door and keeping 
their visitors. The money has priority with them.

Some of the Parental bloggers are chalking the whole thing up to jealousy and 
interfering with their business interests. 

Special shout out to base level Internet marketers using blogs to sell their 
crap. Yeah, I want the FTC to visit some of those bastards. Not the ethical 
ones, just the scumbags.

Many bloggers, myself included, want to know if you are on the take. Tell me 
upfront and I can make the decision to stick around, trust or take with a grain 
of salt. 

Don't do that and I find out you have been sucking at the PR/Advertising tap 
and I will be disappointed.

The same way I was when the Washington Post tried to sell their journalists for 
cash for that elite party of DC's finest, magazine advertorials labeled in 1pt 
type and a whole host of video pr news releases that are masked as news on 
local television stations.

If you have a commercial blog you have responsibilities. This is one of them.

 I think the handwriting on the wall is pretty clear:
 
 Make blogging something for only insured and licensed professionals
