Here's some fun stuffs. As I was testing out our upcoming video podcast functionality of our videoblog tool, I had some happy multi-product accidents.
The experiment was posting Playstation Portable-compatible/formatted videos to a blog using Audioblog (which will post the flash video AND the enclosure (feedburner needed)). The weblog is formatted in a way that it will look good on the PSP's 408x272 screen. I then made a splash page on my web server that had my ugly mug and a link to a page that had nothing more than Peter's neat video archive 'vlogwall' javascript available at http://mefeedia.com/help/javascript/feedthumbs.php (he calls it an instant archive). The result is a site that looks like this on a PSP Splash page: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericrice/38707905/ Mefeedia Archive: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericrice/38707873/ The PSP browser makes the page format pretty well, although you can play with the stylesheets to adjust spacing. And the bonus of this for all you iTunes fans: Quicktime is Quicktime. If you post PSP- ready videos to your videoblog, they're instantly video podcasts in iTunes as well as accessible directly via PSP over the web. The same applies to FireAnt and all the other aggregators out there that play video. One final thing... this PSP is a bigger deal than you might think. It's not socially awkward to have a PSP in public, and the fact that you can connect to the web over wifi to get audio, pictures, video (and of course the web) is a huge step. *Huge*... Do you want to penetrate that demographic to evangelize making media? I sure as hell do. :-) Eric Rice http://ericrice.com http://audioblog.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
