Re: [videoblogging] Shadow World
David Kessler, who makes one of my favourite videoblogs - Shadow World, which used to be at undertheel.blogspot.com - has been posting again this year. He shoots interviews with people who live and work under the el in Philadelphia - and combines them with lots of cinematography of the environment. He has a new URL - http://dskessler.com/shadowworld I really love David's work. I cant think another web video project that takes time to document people in a specific place with such clarity. If there are other examples, be good to identify them. His work is so deceptively simple...just interview someone about who they are and what they do. Imagine people watching this in 50 years.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
I'll confirm what Steve has said. I just joined the group not long ago as I have started www.socialmediasphere.tv and wanted a place to learn more about this crazy video world which I am falling in love with. I am the conference director and the social media director for Blog World and New Media Expo and as stated we are now merged with the New Media Expo as of December and would love to have a Vloggercon in Vegas. Vegas is really looking to make things awesome for visitors as the economy is really cutting into their business so it is really affordable. You can contact me Steve at Jim at Blogworldexpo.com and my cell is (303)594-6276 Right now we have opened the speakers proposals and we are taking them through May 31. Feel free to submit anything in that regard. I look forward to your comments and will pass those along to our CEO who is in Germany at the moment, but I will be in Hawaii with him and a couple of weeks. Yeah dirty job but someone has to do it... I am actiually trying to figure out a way to live stream my trip to Hawaii and have had my Twitter followers pick my itinerary so I can video what they choose and allow them to come along for the ride. Please let me know if you guys have any questions.

I'm not sure it's a question of nobody wanting to run it. I think it's more a question of people not wanting to travel halfway across the country/world to attend a vlogging event. You know that I love this community, and so I'm not being negative about it. Just being realistic about what I see as people's priorities and interests. Bill Streeter tried valiantly to organise Vloggercamp last year, and there was a lot of interest from people signing up on the wiki - but in the end people just weren't motivated enough to pay the registration fee, let alone buy plane tickets.

And that was two years ago, and things have changed in the vlogosphere and in the economy. The original Vloggercons and Vloggies worked because of the excitement of vlogging being so new. I wish I'd been able to attend. There's a small number of people here who do attend podcamps, new media expo, etc. The people who make their living from social media that you see on Twitter constantly tweeting about the latest social media trends and business opportunities, and telling you how to blog and make money from blogging.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
Hi. The first thing to say is how wonderful I think Steve Garfield and his commitment to community is. He is such an asset to anyone who knows him and any community that he is a part of. I don't know him too well, but he is clearly one of the most valuable connectors around, and is a model for anyone interested in creating community on the web. Funny this should all come up...we've just finalized this year's Vlog Europe being in Paris and Clermont-Ferrand, France this year yesterday. We'll have dates and other things later, and you'll find more communications coming from Raymond and Loiez than me, as I'm stepping back a bit and letting the Europeans run their own European event now that I'm in San Francisco. With Vlog Europe, we have/had the added benefit of very easy accessibility to different cultures and different cities every year. And we've also been SUPER lucky to have faithful sponsors that get that we're not trying to be a major for-profit event like Le Web, New Media Expo or Jeff Pulver's events. In the end, though, I think the event has survived because there's a core committed group that really wants this to happen every year and this really frames the event and that the event has never completely lost momentum. Vlog Europe (and in my opinion, Vloggercon too) has avoided the temptations of being part of the larger tech conference/event circuit and being a for-profit conference. Once someone starts making money out of the deal, everything changes and, rightly or wrongly, there's some discomfort with that and things tend to fall apart. While the ethos of that era is highly influential to me and to many of you, I think any attempt to force the same outcomes we had back then would result in disappointment and possibly disaster. We've all narrowed our foci and changed, and I think this comes out of a realization that we are just one community in a larger, non-linear web video community that has developed. Because of this, people who would have organized Vloggercon years ago are knee-deep in other projects, and organizing a conference of the size and scope that Vloggercon covered would be a massive project. Presented with the choice of Vloggercon or teaching people to videoblog, starting advocacy projects like the Open Video Alliance and the artist/documentarian org I am working to create and others, many of us are choosing the latter. In short, I think many in the community that made up the two Vloggercons are more interested in using their influence and tenure in this community to drive change instead of organizing a conference with more of a general purpose than a conference with a specific purpose. To be perfectly honest, I personally have discomfort with any for-profit entity taking over the Vloggercon name and what those two events represent. This is not up to me. But knowing the people that organized Vloggercon, I am willing to bet the farm that they agree and that it is unlikely that those who own the rights to the name will allow anyone to take it over. The videoblogging culture that existed 2004-2006 has evolved and subgroups and completely disassociated communites of vloggers have formed, and there's no going back. The idea of bringing back how things felt back then is tantalizing, but I am afraid that that's impossible at this point. I used to feel like many of you disappointed that Vloggercon hasn't happened again. But seeing how things developed, I consider the Vloggercon experience to be whole, complete and appropriate for its time. That's not to say that another larger videoblogging event shouldn't happen and that I wouldn't attend, as there's so many people who weren't around when Vloggercon was happening and there's many perfectly great folks with commercial interests that could benefit from having facetime with other vloggers.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
Thanks, Jim. I totally appreciate what you're saying, and thank you for taking what I had to say in the spirit it was given. There is a market for a well-done web video event that listens and serves the many openly-stated needs out there, but I think any association with Vloggercon wouldn't serve any party involved. Starting fresh and creating your own context is what I see as the most prudent course of action here. I think there's more infrastructure to build on from your end than Vloggercon's, as the web video space has become an entirely different animal with many new players since the last Vloggercon event. If there's anything you would like to talk to the organizers about, shoot me a mail directly and I will be happy to connect you.

Or, once they are fully operational if a 30sec clip from one of their shows inspires me to action ... am I free to use that clip? etc etc IWT is very much based upon open information sharing. Take anything you wish and re-broadcast it on your blog. They're not scheduled to go on-air until 2007, so any publicity is good publicity. There are no visible licenses as far as I can see, but from talking to a couple people there I assure you that you will not be sued for copyright infringement for stealing a video from the site.

Italy's 3 major independent TV channels are also owned and controlled by - Silvio Berlusconi.

Hmm. looks like a pretty cool site, Adam. Are you involved with the IWTproject? I'm wondering things like will each program have an RSS feed so that I can download them in ant and watch them on my own schedule rather than a set programming schedule and how would each episode be licensed? For example, the in brief video was really great ...if I wanted toinclude thatvidon my site or in my feed to help spread the word ... well I wouldn't normally want to do that unless it was stated somewhere that that right was granted.
