I'd rather have 1,000 regular users as 1 million views on You Yube can be fleeting. What does Josh Leo have to say? He did several million a month or so ago on one on You Tube.

Creators will start to realize that their storytelling talents are rare and valuable. so true. I don't know the terms this round of authors were guaranteed by YouTube, but I do know that we were offered was okay money, but something that we've already surpassed. And then when you factor in merch sales, and the value of having our own users and pageviews on top of that and controlling our own brand, we're coming out miles ahead of a typical YouTube power user. I know Youtube can push mass traffic towards any video it chooses...but asking creators to dump their personal site is dangerous.

Re: [videoblogging] Is YouTube killing vlogging?
Becca, I definately think so. I went to a lot of trouble getting up Wordpress to a server, learn iMovie, upload what I think is a nice vlog on the Philadelphia Mummers, only to have You Tube come out a month before. YT is so easy, anyone with some sort of video device can throw it up. And I do mean throwup as in video vomit. John www.jchtv.com --- Becca [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just a thought. I notice that traffic on certain vlog sites has been going down within the past year. Do you think YouTube is to blame for this since people are getting more of their video content on these sites rather than actual vlogs?

JCH www.jchtv.com --- Kent Nichols [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This was really advice to Short Story authors, but i think it also applies to thos of us that are striving to create short form videos. From: http://matociquala.livejournal.com/1107367.html Some writing advice by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. on the subject of short stories, from Bagombo Snuff Box: 1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted. 2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for. 3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water. 4. Every sentence must do one of two things -- reveal character or advance the action. 5. Start as close to the end as possible. 6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them -- in order that the reader may see what they are made of. 7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia. 8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

They have a podcast, and are really interested in starting a video podcast now, which they are interested in having me help with! So this wednesday, I am going to be telling them all about my experience in videoblogging and how I can help them set up a video podcast of their church services. Anyway... I noticed that all their podcasts are published via iWeb from a .mac account. http://web.mac.com/shandonmedia/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Podcast.html There has been someone in charge of that, and I'm not sure if they want to continue using this method for their video podcast as well, but I have to think (and this is where I need an opinion) that using a .mac account for a video podcast wouldn't be the best option in this case. On one hand, it's not like they need to have commenting set up and things like that, but is there not also a space limit with .mac accounts? I'm sure they would not be opposed to using a free service for video hosting if it would be just as good with unlimited space. What I really want to do is tell them about blip.tv which has the added benefit of converting the videos to flash as well! So I guess I'm asking for thoughts on this. Does anyone on here use their .mac account / iDisk for their videos and what is your experience with this and is there an advantage. Thus far, I wouldn't know, since I have yet to pay for hosting.
