In a move that might make some people scratch their heads, a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labor union they hope will help them receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards. The effort is an extension of the blogosphere's growing power and presence, especially within the political realm, and for many, evokes memories of the early labor organization of freelance writers in the early 1980s. more http://tinyurl.com/3d6835 -- Gary Short http://www.garyshort.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ive been putting together a vlog (of a sort) for the Center for American Progress, which if you saw my earlier post you know is a new-ish non partisan progressive think tank in Washington DC. We've experimenting with vlogging with the conceit that think tanks typically speak to a small audience of elites. As such, in order to address major policy issues, they have to generally rely upon mainstream media to connect with a wider audience -- and then only if by chance some policy item becomes salient in the news. Vlogging, I feel, is a way to go over, under and around (in addition to thru) the mainstream media. Our results so far have been v modest, but we've been encouraged enough that we're going to begin to try to expand and improve our capacity by a small measure going forward. We're calling our video pieces SEEPROGRESS and theyre admittedly (or embarassingly) rather primitive. If your'e curious, or willing to share some thoughts offline, please have a look by searching SEEPROGRESS in google -- this should take you to the channels we've put up on YouTube, blip.tv and chbn.com.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: What Would you do?
Hi John, The basic story of the Highland Clearances can be found at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_clearances). But I want to make the story more personal, focusing on maybe a handful of real families, seeing what they were like here, what it was like to be driven off their land, and what lives they made form themselves in the New World. I like the idea of getting people in the U.S. to film the story on that side of The Pond, good call.

Like mine, there's no way I could go across the Atlantic to tell the story of the Highlanders across there on my own dime. I, for one, would very much like to hear this story. Why are the Atlantic and the travel dollars keeping you from telling it? Just start telling, with the resources you have in hand right now. You can always revise, update and add to the story. Make it a serialized story, everyone is already used to vlogging with repeated installments. Your first installment is the dream, where does this dream come from, who are the Highlanders, who are your Highlanders? Tell your story backwards, starting with you and your dream, working backward in time step-by-step, working geographically toward the Highland, eventually you'll get to making the travel installments. If you need material shot over there, make some friends over there (via the low-cost internet?) and have them shoot it for you (they have no camera? loan them yours. You have no camera? Ask for one, I bet there's more than one of us on this list who has an old retired cam that still works and is just collecting dust. convince us it's worth sending it to you, by starting a story that is so compelling we will do anything we can to hear the rest of the story.)

In the very simplest of terms the camera was turned on at a specific time and turned off at a specific time, and while it was turned on it was pointed in one direction and not in other directions. After that comes the issues regarding editing and other post-production work. The choices made when shooting or editing need not to be malicious to be misleading and the question of interpretation is just as important with video as with reading a written account. A video can never show The Truth (as in 'how did this event transpire'). Video is not omnipresent, it can only show a situation as it happened from one perspective and that's the important thing to remember. For an easy intro to this kind of stuff I can recommend Rasmus Dahl's article Disctinctions in Documentary Television (in The Aesthetics of Television, Aalborg University Press, 2001) -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ -- + http://www.davidandtrine.org + [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
RE: [videoblogging] Example of how video could change things
You don't even need motion picture techniques. A good experiment is to go into a school class of say 8 - 10 year olds and read them the nonsense poem Jabberwocky then film them telling you what the poem is about. It's great fun and a good answer to the question how much of our own perspective taints the news we hear/see/read?

If you learn nothing else from vlogging, this should be it. I'd love to see us - as a group - take that piece of subject video and edit it to say various things using motion picture techniques.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Proposal
Well I sort of agree with you Robert. If a company has started a conference and branded it with a name that is specific to what they are doing (Microsoft's Dive Deeper events for example) then I agree 100% with what you are saying. However, if someone takes a generic name like vloggercon, which is such an obvious contraction of Vlogger and conference, and tries to own it then I'm not so sure. That sort of thing smacks of trying to patent the right click. If you want a brand you can protect, then go for something specific and I'll support you all the way.

I wasn't involved in this group back in the Vloggercon days, so I don't know how that was organized. Just saying that the impulse to protect a brand name designed by someone else is a good one. Vloggercon was a great event - I sensed it was done by a handful of people. It didn't seem to be a total unconference like, say, BARcamp which is more of a community-planned event and wasn't owned (or planned by) any small group of people. Some conferences, in fact, will sue you if you try to use their names (witness O'Reilly and the Web 2.0 Conference).

Which to be honest is what I feel like you are doing. Personly I would love for there to be many vloggercons, vloggercon West, East MidWest, Europe, etc, I don't think having more than one disminishes the event, just makes it stronger. And you never know, maybe it could bring more people to vlogging be making the events accessible to as many people as you canjust a thought..
