Re: [videoblogging] Re: Remember when it was all 320x240?
If only YouTube offered uploading of custom thumnails and more options for branding and player customization. Just having 3 thumbnails to choose from is silly. Blip.TV doesn't have the same quality of flash embeds, but its features still win out for me over YouTube. YouTube does have better stats, IMO. -Chad -- Sent from my Palm Pre Jay dedman wrote: HD is not their only choice. I use an embedded YouTube player which defaults to 360p, the user must then manually chose 480p or 720p if they way higher res. If they subscribe to my podcast with iTunes or whatever they get a separate 480x272 version. About half my audience subscribe and watch directly via my YouTube channel, which again defaults to 360p. So my available HD content uses no more bandwidth than anyone else's blog or video, unless the user decides that's what they want. I didnt know Youtube did all this these days. This is great.

Re: [videoblogging] YouTube versus Blip.TV quality
Hi Tim, I've messed around briefly with Tubemogul, however now that Blip posts to youtube and vimeo, I will likely just stick with Blip. I'm not sure if you get the usage stats from all your different services inside the blip dashboard, but I mainly just concentrate on the blip stats anyway. Thanks for the input, Chad -- Sent from my Palm Pre Tim Street wrote: Hey Chad, Have you tried Tubemogul? You upload your video once and it goes to both YouTube and Blip.TV as well as any other sites that you chose.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: YouTube versus Blip.TV quality
Mike, That is very good to know. I've only just started using the cross posting to other services since you guys launched it and I will defintely be using that feature more.. On another note, I continue to be impressed with the service that Blip provides to even the little guys. Keep up the good work. -Chad -- Sent from my Palm Pre mikehudack wrote: Hey Chad, Blip does indeed collect statistics from both YouTube and Vimeo and display them in the Dashboard. We also bring comments and friend requests from both sites into the Dashboard. And there's much more coming! Yours, Mike Co-founder amp; CEO, blip.tv --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Chad F.
