There's the rub, I've been watching a lot of video online when I am researching a topic for a post. That is how I found a whole community of dance blogs and dance vlogs. Using Blip.tv and YouTube to find non-media content when I'm trying to find if possible user generated video on topics.

thanks Rupert. I tend to watch some on your list when I have a chance + ones in the projects eg VloMo, vbweek when I get in a videoing frenzy. if any are mentioned in the artist in the clouds list I watch them + lately ones in the twitter stream though I miss some due to timezone differences

Hey all, just wanted to drop a line here with a new project Ive been working on called Magma. Unlike Rocketboom, which is essentially a content/production studio, Magma is a video platform and Im very, very excited about it. I think it fills an obvious void in the online video space, on a

Thanks Rupert. This is the best example of a reason why its good to keep things private while letting people use the site. I didnt even know about the limit on tags, you should be able to have a one or two character tag, I just add that to the bug fix list. Thanks again! On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at
