Re: [videoblogging] Turnhere free videos
Hey Jay, Turnhere had a camera operator interview me and I assume he also cut the piece together. http://www.turnhere.com/blog/favorite-videos/the-future-of-online-video-by-tim-street-part-1/ If he got $200 for shooting and editing this simple interview that took about 30 minutes to set up and shoot blocks away from his house I think it's a pretty fair deal for him. Tim On Jan 20, 2010, at 6:55 PM, Jay dedman wrote: TurnHere.com, who are an agency who match up filmmakers with small businesses, have a new promo going for US Canadian filmmakers. You can offer free 1 minute videos to small businesses, and Turnhere will pay you $200 to make them. It's a very small amount of money, and is undercutting other people who are trying to do the same thing on an individual basis. But the requirements are much lower than your average bespoke video job. It's pretty much video by numbers. Turn up for an hour, shoot an interview with the proprietor, shoot some B roll, cut a 1 minute film, get paid $200. I looked into their business model. I'd want to here from video producers who did a lot of work for them. Seems more like http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_demandmedia. Ironically, Turnhere's orientation video is a downloading WMV: http://producers.turnhere.com/orientation-webinar-video.html Guess some there doesn't know how to do simple transcoding?

Re: [videoblogging] Flip HD Kodak Zi8 compatibility with iMovie?
I've edited a few on my MacBook Pro. It took a lot longer than normal SD to import and a lot longer to export but worked fine and looked great.

Re: [videoblogging] No Photo Ban in Subways, Yet an Arrest
Thanks for sharing that. Tim Street 1timstr...@gmail.com http://1timstreet.com/blog http://twitter.com/1timstreet On Feb 18, 2009, at 2:40 PM, Rupert wrote: From : http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/18/nyregion/18about.html?_r=3 No Photo Ban in Subways, Yet an Arrest By JIM DWYER Published: February 17, 2009 In the map of New Yorks most forsaken places, it would be hard to top the Freeman Street stop on the No. 2 line in the Bronx, late on a February afternoon. Around 4:30 last Thursday, Robert Taylor stood on the stations elevated platform, taking a picture of a train. A few buildings in place, he noted. Nice little cloud cover overhead. I usually use them as wallpaper on my computer. Finished with his camera, Mr. Taylor, 30, was about to board the train when a police officer called to him. He stepped back from the train. The cop wanted my ID, and I showed it to him, Mr. Taylor said. He told me I couldnt take the pictures. I told him thats not true, that the rules permitted it. He said I was wrong. I said, Im willing to bet your paycheck. Mr. Taylor was right. The officer was enforcing a nonexistent rule. And if recent experience is any guide, one paycheck wont come close to covering what a wrongful arrest in this kind of case could cost the taxpayers. Twice in the last five years, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority proposed a ban on photography in the subways as an antiterrorism measure. And in 2007, the city proposed severe restrictions on filming in the city streets, but retreated when visual artists and activists gathered 26,000 signatures on petitions of opposition within a few weeks. Both times that the transportation authority tried to ban photography, it, too, dropped the idea because of opposition. Even so, people taking pictures in the subways are regularly stopped by the police and asked to let the officers see their images or to delete them. They dont have to do that, and its completely unlawful to ask them to delete them, said Chris Dunn, a lawyer with the New York Civil Liberties Union. But it comes with the explicit or implicit threat of arrest. Its a constant problem. Mr. Taylor a college student and an employee of a transportation agency that he did not want to identify said he had been stopped before when taking pictures, but without problems. Not this time. I said, According to the rules of conduct, we are allowed to take pictures, Mr. Taylor said. I showed him the rules theyre bookmarked on my BlackBerry. Rule 1050.9 (c) of the state code says, Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or tripods may not be used. Then a police sergeant arrived. He tells me that their rules and the transit rules are different, Mr. Taylor said. I tell him, If you feel Im wrong, give me a summons and Ill see everyone in court. The sergeant told them to arrest me. In handcuffs, Mr. Taylor was delivered to the Transit District 12 police station, and a warrant check was run. They were citing 9/11, said Mr. Taylor, whose encounter was described on a blog by the photographer Carlos Miller. Of course, 9/11 is serious. I said: Lets be real. Were in the Bronx on the 2 train. Lets be for real here. Come on. Before he was uncuffed, he got a batch of summonses. The first was for taking photos from the s/b plat of incoming outgoing trains without authority to do so, abbreviating southbound platform. It cited Rule 1050.9 (c). The second was for disorderly conduct, which consisted of addressing the officers in an unreasonable voice. And the third was for impeding traffic on a platform that is about 10,000 square feet. I dont know if you can impede traffic with 15 people per hour coming on the station, Mr. Taylor said. LAST year, the city settled a lawsuit with a medical student who was using his vacation to photograph every subway stop. He got through five before an officer handcuffed him and detained him for about 20 minutes. With legal fees, the cost to the city was $31,501 more than $1,500 a minute. In the case of Mr. Taylor, the officers misinterpreted the rules concerning photography, said Paul J. Browne, the Police Departments chief spokesman. The Transit Adjudication Board is being notified that summons was issued in error, resulting in its dismissal. However, the police will press on with charges of impeding traffic and unreasonable noise, Mr. Browne said. For his part, Mr. Taylor said he was late meeting his girlfriend: It wasnt a pleasant sight. I said, Ill make it up to you. What else could I say? Thanks to the police, they might end up with more than a nice dinner or two at taxpayer expense. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo! Groups

Because it has pages you can replace your whole web site without needing to code anything. It's perfect for you, you won't have to pay someone to set up what you want to do.

So many of us are NOT the same people that buy a car and expect to never have to change the oil in it. We just bought the hype that no oil was necessary to begin with. A little googling reveals the same stuff now being hyped about CMS like Drupal and Joomla.

Many times I've wanted to redo my blogger.com blog in wordpress, indeed wordpress is simply better, but the truth is blogger.com is virtually hack proof since there's absolutely no server side code running. It's all handled by blogger.com and written to the server via sftp. I've really come to appreciate this rock solid security and ZERO maintenance, and to be honest it's the primary reason I simply recommend blogger over wordpress to anyone who wants to self host on their own domain. The exception being if they're a developer and already running code on their server, in which case they're probably aware enough of the maintenance issues to run wordpress.

Re: [videoblogging] A Youtube to Blip Transaction
Blip.TV provides a great high quality free service and so does YouTube for that matter. They are FREE! As far as advertising revenue goes it's the chicken vs the egg. Sites need great content that advertisers want to advertise around. I get millions of views of French Maid TV but many advertisers don't want their brands associated with French Maids. I get that. I also don't publish on a regular bases. Advertisers want consistently delivered, safe, emotionally engaging content. I get that too. It's has been and it is going to continue to be very hard to make money in video advertising unless you deliver fresh, stimulating content on a regular basis that gets millions of views a day. It would be great if I could just create content, post it and get paid while still retaining ownership of my content but that world doesn't exist yet.

[videoblogging] Stock Footage: Conference Audience Reaction Shots
I'm cutting a demo reel of someone's speech at a corporate sales conference and I need audience reaction shots. The footage I have was shot this last year and from the sound of the laughs and applause I would guess there are 500 to 1000 people in the audience that would be dressed in business attire or business casual.

A Brightcove rep contacted me to say they would be pulling down one of my videos due to copyright infringement. Since I legally license or create everything I use, I knew there was a mistake. He said that Brightcove now hires a third party auditor to review user content for copyright violations and terms of service violations. Their third party auditor identified the music in my video as copyrighted material. I had 5 days to respond. I responded by sending my official license for the copyright of the song, which I paid for and the receipt for. They said they couldn't take my receipt or the copy of the license given to me when I purchased the license for the use of the song. So I had to involve the company I purchased the music from. That company went through the trouble of verifying the license to Brightcove. Then Brightcove said that's not good enough. Now I have to have the copyright holder, the person who created the music, contact them. And, that person had to use the official Brightcove paperwork, fill it out, send it in, or my video would be taken down. I don't know about any of you, but hunting down the musician, getting him/her/them to fill out an official form for you and submit it seems a bit overkill to me. I understand the copyright issue. I do. But, what other difficulties will this kind of strict auditing and process cause content creators? Next will it be my stock footage and I'll have to find the camera operator? Do you see this as the future of creating original content? Because this makes it terribly hard on the individuals or small companies.

The scary thing about this as that an unexperienced user might actually waste a good hour of their time on this, and then get pissed off when it never works, and then blame our project for sending them to a lousy service.

It wasted a lot of my time before it failed (which is a no no for any project where you have had to recruit people to participate in the first place) 3. It uploaded 4 out of 6 first. Then tried to tell me the other two clips were bad (no assets) -- which they were not, i double checked 4. Then it pretended to be uploading them while it gave me a bunch of stupid messages to keep me there waiting (which implies that they KNOW their system sucks and, instead of dealing with the issue, they try to come up with clever ways to make you wait) They start off condescending looks like a great video - can't wait to see it then get desperate and downright mocking: so anyway, while we wait, how you doin?

Frankly I expected even worse by now, recalling that in the first few years after 9/11, there were stories about how seemingly innocent video of tourist attractions was actually fiendish terrorist planning videos. So the London police camera posters fill me with despair but the satirical treatment of them gives me some small hope. Even without a war on terror moron error, Im not someone who feels too comfortable waving a camera round in public, as I know some humans feel it is invasive. I dont know about the USA but in Britain the internet is commonly mentioned on TV news debate shows in a negative light, paedophiles terrorists, so I just roll my eyes when I see similar tactics in the newspapers too. Anyway you know I have speculated in the past as to what future our governments may be planning for, although its also possible that there are more basic motives at work. The police usually want as much power as they can get, more laws to be on their side, new weapons and evidence gathering devices. Some corporations make the technology that suits this paranoid surveillance game, so theres the basic profit motive potential to corrupt government there. As for this not arguing anymore, in order for that to work you possibly shouldnt mention most of the points argued about, or goading those that 'defend the corporate agenda' to respond. Where does my position fit into that narrow representation? Because you hopefully know that I believe government imposed restrictions that affect vlogging are already here in some countries, and remain a real possibility at any time in the future. Restriction of such things is one of the first things governments tend to do when they feel under threat, and even in tines of relative security, its the sort of right that ebbs away unless continually fought for. But this would happen in a counry without corporations too. And you know I scoff at the idea that corporations have an agenda to crush independent media. Mostly because they dont need to. Corporations strengths over small business, indies, individuals, is part of their design, business as usual assures their dominance, they dont need to take extra measures to crush. Now over the course of a generation the whole game could change because of the internet, but its by no means a cert, and its entirely possible they could dominate the net without taking any special measures or doing any deliberate crushing. I mean really, I am hardly a fan of corporations, I read lots of stuff about bad things they do, just as i know small business and government also cause bad, as do individuals. Due to their scale, governments and corporations can do the harm on a far larger scale, and we have greater expectations about what good they should be doing instead. And yeah, humans appear to be too hypocritical and corrupt to save the world. Some think that if we can only harness the sorts of thinking that can happen in war, but in the struggle against climate change and resource depletion in a time of peace, we might stand a chance. I fear that it will be harnessed through actual war. Can anybody imagine the global internet existing as we know it if there ws a non-nuclear war on the scale of world war 2 in future? And that would also be an end the the complexities of debates about free speech, rights to photograph, gossip, whistleblow be a real journalist or citizen?

Re: [videoblogging] pocket sized projectors, the future of impromptu video blog screenings?
I think you are right unless cable companies can figure out a way to lobby congress and outlaw the public projection of video onto walls that are not owed by the projectionist. - I'm just kidding - kind of. Tim Street Creator/Executive Producer French Maid TV Subscribe for FREE @ http://frenchmaidtv.com/itunes My Demo Reels Blog http://1timstreet.com On Mar 30, 2008, at 4:29 PM, Mike Meiser wrote: One of my favorite things about pixelodeon was not the set screening room sessions but the widespread use of 17 macbooks for impromptu screening of all manner of videos over beers, at party's or simply gatherings in hotel rooms. It's these shared interactive viewing experiences that really make video come full circle as a part of real world face to face conversations. If the following nytimes article is correct pocket-able projection units are expected to hit the market by years end at $300-350. This could in 2009 usher in a whole new possibility for impromptu video screenings. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/business/30novelties.html I'd be curious to know if anyone has gotten their hands on any early prototypes yet. Perhaps there is some potential for sponsorship here at future video blogging events. Of course, cheap portable projectors could have far more ramifications then simple video blog screenings. I cannot begin to imagine how useful these things might become in the next 5 years. As they get cheaper they could one day become as common in laptops as video cams are now, and they have some interesting ramifications as secondary information displays for ambient information such as twitter, friend feed, Digg Spy, news, weather, and things we have yet to dream up. If they become ubiquitous enough they could further blur the spacial boundaries between office chair and arm chair, or put in other terms between computer screen and tv. As an information architect I find this prospect of a more ubiquitous physical information space fascinating. Anyone who has ever been on a trading room floor at an exchange will know what I'm talking about by ubiquitous information space. Or for that matter anyone who's watched a scifi movie where whole walls are information displays. Geography / real world space is the new frontier of cyberspace / media space. We've brought meat space to cyberspace, now we're increasingly bringing cyberspace back to meat space. This has tremendous implications for memory, productivity, and privacy. If the medium is the message, such bringing of video to meat space means that today's trends such as the personal and non-linear nature of videos will be nothing in comparison o the non-linearity and personal nature media created for this eventual future. Video made to be projected ubiquitously into the real world will have to be more non-linear, and in order to grab our attention be more personal then ever. The narrative will be ever increasingly abstracted and exploded. TV shows like south park, the simpsons and so called reality tv that are increasingly dependant on direct references to larger narratives in culture rather then their own sub plots will look as quaint as Leave it to Beaver in coming years. This goes for MTV's non-linear programing as well. It also means our notions of information overload today will quaint in comparison to those of tomorrow. Case in point these cheap tiny projectors are not just consumer technology. They may be used to assault our senses in yet new ways. They are perfect for projecting advertising in all manner of unpredictable spaces... subways, public bathrooms, elevators and more since they will be much cheaper, easier to install, and easier to secure then today's ad display systems. Of course a simple piece of gum will become a great weapon for future ad busters. :) I'm reminded of Jan of Faux Press's ideas of vlogvertising. We artists mine as well be the first to explore and exploit this newly opening media space. My dream of widespread true traditional gallery spaces for video blogging will increasingly become possible, even probable. Of course my 1984 type prediction is projected media will one day be as ubiquitous at assaulting our senses as video cam's are already becoming at recording our every action. My answer to that is we as citizens must preserve our right to give as well as we get in this future. Such is the important front line of the battle with public photography and graffiti. The right to arm oneself with a camera should be as protected as the right to free speech, or even more so then our right to Carry a gun. The camera is the new gun. I'm continually reminded of William Burrough's Apocalypse. Art leaps from its frames. A whole new frontier is starting to open for media space. And you thought all the real innovation had already

Tim - I've read you arguments before about how some video hosting/sharing sites (including Revver and blip) create RSS feeds for one's content. You're correct - it's really messed up. What happens if a few thousand people are subscribed through your show's Revver feed and then Revver goes out of business? You're out a few thousand subscribers. You're also missing out on ways to monitize those subscribers through an RSS feed that you own and operate. It should either be A) be an opt-in service that these sites provide and not something that's automatically generated and/or B) allow you to insert your own RSS feed as the subscription options.

This is the kind of information I was trying to get with my loaded question Unfortunately it's still very hard to set up video advertising on your own videos and services like Revver and Blip have been great for so many people but when you get to the point of controlling your own advertising inventory and an advertiser comes to you with prerolls, postrolls and overlays to place on all your videos for a week or a month you don't want to go in and edit them into every video then cut them out the following week. My feeling right now is that it may be best to create video promos for your website and use TubeMogul to place those promos everywhere you can to drive traffic to webpages and videos that you control and can monetize.

I started out with a free account because, like you, I thought it was too good to be true. After a time working with the system I then signed up for one of the paid accounts and feel that I definitely get my money's worth for the service. Though any business can meet with an unexpected end, I always do a thorough check before I invest in time or money. This particular business is growing at a rate of speed that I am comfortable with. Too fast and services suffer, too slow and I'm not growing my own business by using the service. That's just my 2 cents. I think I know what you're saying with the RSS feed issue. The only RSS feeds that are affected with my TubeMogul service are the ones I put into place. I'm sure that if there was a problem with an unwanted destination via RSS feed, that you could simply stop using TubeMogul. Try Hey!Spread or one of the software programs. You have to pay a nominal fee, but it's not a lot. I love combining my RSS feeds and TubeMogul. My videos are automatically uploaded to about 20-25 sites via my TubeMogul upload because of my RSS feeds via Revver and Blip.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video advertising
Hey Renat, I wish I could say that everything you talk about was easy to do and that we could just flip a switch and have it all be perfect and work for every independent producer - but that's just not the way it is. There are a few of us that are trying to make several of those things you write about happen for independents but it's going to take time and help from everyone. It's easy to complain about the situation but if you are really interested in bringing advertisers and content producers together I urge you to join the Association of Downloadable Media http://www.downloadablemedia.org/ and sign up to attend Ad-tech in San Francisco in April 15-17 http://tinyurl.com/3cg6g6 The ADM will be offering a substantial discount to the event and there will be some steps taken in the direction you are talking about. Rome wasn't built at an advertising conference and all are problems won't be solved there either but if you can attend you will be surrounded by other people who want to see independent content creators and advertisers come together.

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.

I don't like that they are doing this.

Imagine if you ran a Grocery Store and inside your grocery store you had a coffee shop that was owned by an Independent Coffee Chain. Then one day the Government said Hey you have a Coffee Shop in your grocery store. You need to let other coffee companies sell coffee in your store for free. So you let Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf as well as Pete's Coffee and Tully's sell coffee in your store and they didn't pay you any money but they did create more traffic in your parking lot and they made it hard for your costumers to get into your grocery store. Maybe you might try and keep your parking lot free to only your customers, unless the government told you that you needed to let anyone park in your parking lot.

I'm a graphic designer with intermediate web coding skills. I think most template hosted blogs (blogger, tumblr etc) look like crap. The artist in me wants bespoke design and I want it to look killer. Some of the really great looking blogs I visit all seem to be built on WordPress. I've tried hacking my Blogger CSS to dress up my blog but all I managed to do was create a pile of poo. Reverse engineering someone elses code is not my strong point. I fear going the WordPress route would be equally frustrating for me. So I was wondering if building a simple site in Dreamweaver using Templates would get me what I want. Until I thought about all the cool integration we get from web tools: cross posting, RSS, subscriptions etc. No way I could build all that into a site. And the manual labor it would take to manage this would be ridiculous. Barely have time to post what I have, and it's darn near automatic right now. Even thought about iWeb from Apple. It has blog building tools, but I'm guessing it is A) template based and B) relies on .Mac which I am not into. So a home grown site would awesome and so desirable, but for me, I have to settle for shit ugly Blogger for now.

(I.e., push them to YouTube, Blip.tv, Revver, Veoh, DaliyMotion, etc etc.) But if you are trying to make a living off of your videos, then I question whether pushing your videos everywhere will accomplish that. When you're on someone else site, they have all the control. And you can only do what they allow you to do. (And they can change their mind at any time.) In my judgment... having you own site on a domain that you actually own is the best way to go if you want to make a living off video blogging (in most cases). And do what you can to get people to come to your site. It might take a little longer to build an audience but once you do, they'll really be your audience (and not the audience of a video sharing site).

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Cloverfield hand held major movie
I think Cloverfield does take things beyond the Blair Witch Project and does a great job of fictional organic Home Video story telling. The filmmakers have set some ground rules for themselves and they stick to those ground rules. Everything that happens on that tape from a storytelling point of view happens in real time with nothing other than in camera edits. I'm envious of what the filmmakers have done with Cloverfield. I've been exploring fictional organic home video storytelling since I did For the Love of Julie in 1999 and I Can Still Tell Your Wife Bill in 2001 and I've been waiting for more stories to be told this way so that it doesn't seem gimmicky. I think Loney Girl 15 does a good job of this but every so often their characters get a little bit too cinematic in the production of their videos and it pulls me out of the story but non the less LG15 is breaking new ground with this type of storytelling and they are intertwining it with ARG which is way cool. I really look forward to seeing what new films are created using this approach to storytelling and how it matures so that it's not seen as a gimmick. If this type of filmmaking is embraced it lowers the financial bar of entry for what is acceptable for theatrical film releases and increases the chances of getting theatrical distribution for storytellers who can't afford a traditional cinematic production. If you are at all interested in telling stories that are shown on the big screen I urge you to take a closer look at Cloverfield and think about what emotionally compelling stories you could tell using this organic home video approach. There are some very creative people on this list and I think one or several of us could someday have a theatrical release by using this type of storytelling.

And its very simple to use. Right now you can't create hotspots on the video itself, just click the video to move to a new page. In the Keynote player (which comes only with the software package) links are all nonlinear, so transitions between pages are the same no matter where you go in the timeline. It really is a simplified Livestage Pro. When you export to quicktime all interactive links are maintained, but pages are placed in a linear timeline - the downside is that 1) when you link ahead in the timeline the specified transition (like a dissolve) is lost and 2) on the web, you have to wait for a hefty quicktime file to completely load before doing anything with it. This isn't bad, but makes for a clunky experience. It would be ideal if Apple came up with a free Keynote player. That way you can download all the assets and have them play smoothly from your own drive. The immediate application is educational stuff, but also some wild possibilities with video/book hybrids. Sophie is cool, but as you say, seems to act very much like the web. And then Flash, which seems to have won out on interactive video, is simply too complex for any kind of intuitive creation. With a word processor or video editor you can make changes instantly, sees the results. I think this is the beauty of Keynote. As simple as can be. Sounds interesting what you were doing with Quickime. I heard about Livestage Pro thru Adrian Miles and was intensely into it until, well, RSS. And then the end of Livestage. I do hope to find my way back.

And then monetization and then what are you doing, but creating for a market and competing with every other production entity out there. Beautiful things don't have to be big and costly.

In a way, Sophie is (or can be) similar to a use case such as SpinXpress + Videoblog. was very excited about Keynote - which does everything we want. But... no player.

If so, I do recall that looking interesting. What features are important to you? Regarding the whole file needing to be downloaded before Interactive features can kick in that's not so bad is it? Could present some other content while the files download or just see if people can be a little patient for a little extra juice in the experience. I hear you. Just wouldn;t look at it as a deal breaker. In past experiments with Quicktime and Javascript, I did interesting things with just using timers. Grab length of video. Use javascript play and stop buttons which also triggers a separate timer to begin and stop. Based on the elapsed time value, trigger some function to do whatever. Shit like that can be interesting. I should dig up some of that. I remember even using the trial version of LSP4 just to create a few functional QT buttons that did unusual things like play/stop/scratch multiple movies embedded on a page with certain movie id.

Re: [videoblogging] marketing and distributing videos
Make promos for your show and use TubeMogul to send your promos everywhere. Put your videos on your site and drive traffic to your site. Your site and your RSS Feed are the only things you control.

This would be a good question for Ask A Ninja.

[videoblogging] iSight Cameras and e waste
So I've been doing a little Spring cleaning and I found an iSight camera that I never use anymore. I went to eBay and noticed that iSight cameras are selling at and for more than their original retail price and that got me thinking... Are there any other used electronics that are selling for more than their original MSRP or are we just creating more e waste? Have you ever wondered where your used video blogging gear goes? It's not going to Steve Garfield, Jason Calacanis or that Robert Scoble guy ;) Here's a little video about where it really goes. http://youtube.com/watch?v=EXzsqTFwV3Q If you got some new gadgets from Santa please think twice before you get rid of your old gear. I know several of you have offered up your old gear on this list and I think that's a great tradition to continue.

I can't argue with Jan. You might also try starting a video podcast and create some promos for it and post them everywhere you can.

Most (not all) of the producers here are working organically and personally with much smaller audiences and are creating uncommercial content. Got it. Thought that discussions about distribution channels might be in the mandate since I've seen them here before, but if not please do delete! But here's my two cents: You want regular six figure viewing figures, I'd say the only guaranteed way to do it from a standing start is to get featured on Youtube every time. I would imagine, given your YouTube has come up a lot so I guess we should talk to them about distribution. I agree about the value of those viewers and the horrible behavior. In some ways I guess it's like getting on the front page of digg: you get some traffic but you also get abusive comments from the kiddie/anonymous coward contingent. My feeling is that to get any value or meaningful response from your viewers, you need to build audience and loyalty organically. All the social network/social media groups you've set up are a good start. Agreed. We're getting a great response from Ning (http://mahalodaily. http://mahalodaily.ning.com ning.com), Facebook (600 or so memebers), and Twitter. But they're not a quick fix. Or a road to instant viewer riches. Agreed again. I think they are good at creating a space for your existing users to get together. I advise you to look at EpicFu (formerly Jetset) - Zadi and Steve have done it about as right as possible, I think. They've been developing their show and their fans for a long time, and are now getting 1m views per week. They cover a lot of ground, screen on multiple networks as well as their own site and work very hard at it. They have their own social network, which is integral to their show. Seems to work well for them. Will do... those guys certainly know what they're doing and have been at it for a long time. I also advise you not pay any attention to my advice. I'm a videoblogger. I'm happy with a two or three figure audience, not six. I want to keep personal contact with my viewers. I have nothing to sell and no intention of making it my business. None of my opinions are based on any experience of building a promotional show with a big audience. Good luck with it. Actually, I think your advice is sage... focus on the organic and stick to your knitting. The goals of our podcast and a personal podcat are certainly different, but the passion is the same.

A lot of it is founded, and some of it is simply axe-grinding. While I don't think we should drop the subjects in question (PodTech, Irina, The Vloggies, Lan), I'd like to play reverse-devil's advocate. In the spirit of Schlomo's group hug, let's look at a few positives: 1) John Furrier and Robert Scoble continue to participate in the conversation. (Earlier, they were eviscerated for NOT speaking up; at least now they're willing to bear the slings and arrows of conversing.) 2) Irina is free-er to experiment. (Granted, this is like saying, Well, that fired news anchor can always go back to writing obituaries, but seen from the glass-half-full POV, Irina is now free to pursue new opportunities -- and, most likely, will bring a sharpened business acumen to any future negotiations she becomes involved with.) 3) Creative Commons is now on everyone's mind. (Maybe we can do something about furthering that awareness across the board.) 4) The Vloggies are not the only game in town. (Or, at least, they don't have to be. There's room for more than one awards show in town -- if we even need one [yet]. Again, a topic that needs to be discussed, rather than all of us being beholden to one judge of quality.) 5) We've all been reminded that, first and foremost, we're a community that supports itself (emotionally, if not yet financially). When there's a disruption in the community, we take action to address it. Perhaps the community divides, or perhaps the community solves the issue; either way, we strengthen our bonds AND are forced to stand up for what we believe in -- which, very often, is each other. Onward and upward.
