[videoblogging] Two Things.
Hi guys and gals, Two things: 1. Thanks for supporting me the other day, all of you who did about the BBC story, that was great, I took your encouragement to heart and actually visited the Local BBC centre here in Nottingham, I showed them my stuff and have a radio interview booked for next Thursday, so hopefully soon we might be hearing from other people from the East Midlands, asking how do I compress my video, etc. I am looking forward to that. 2. I have finally done it, I have cracked it, an actual fist fight between two of my characters on my one man show Space, I based my ideas on Joss Weedon's techniques used in Buffy and Firefly and it came out really well.

Re: [videoblogging] racism vs vlogger ?
Hi, The post's title seems to indicate a race bias at play, but not in this story. I think it's more a problem of an institution in a post-911 environment imposing it's will and the general public standing back and allowing it to do so. As a momentary aside, there's too many examples of people being arrested and put away for non-violent matters and zero -- zero protest or screaming about it or even lawsuits. That's scary, and I am going to place myself in the sea of people who need to get off their ass and do something. Z --- Loiez D.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Why accessibility matters
Mr. Meiser, you're on a roll. Jan On 11/29/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There's one simple thing I must point out. Who stands on the soap box all day? The simple fact of the matter is that the average vloggers post what, 3 minutes total video footage a week if even? The power law isn't really much different then this mailing list. The majority simply read or lurk. This doesn't mean they don't have the power to speak up, the soap box, when they want to. That's accessibility. I said we could all have our soap box, not all stand on them all day around the clock and who would want to. The economics are completely different for communications in cyberspace. For one you don't have to communicate in realtime allowing you to catch up with someone's vlog once a day, a week or once a month. Time is removed from the equation and becomes abundant. If I don't respond to your email imediately but in a week from now, it's still effective communication. This is not true in physical world conversations. This medium works because you listen on your time, where you want, in the manner you want. These are all issues of accessibility. Just like the Blackberry and email the more ubiquitous and accessible the viewing methods and the producing methods the more power the medium will become. All we need do is grow the platform. Beyond the dekstop, the ipod, the PSP, the set top box, cell phones like the nokia n93 and n95, and set tops. In order for these platforms to be viable as mechanisms of communication they must be end-to-end... they must be utilizeable as viewing and producing platforms by everyone, not just a few select videos as gootube and now revver intend to do with Verizon. The value isn't just in the long tail... that might be true of movies, and music and books... but we're talking communications, like the cell phone, the value is ALL tail. What value would youtube be to you if you could only access 5% of the videos google or verizon selected for you? The idea is stillborn, bankrupt. In order for verizon to be a legitimate platform or anything more than a insignificant token we have to have access to any video blog we like. Anything else is like having a cell phone that only allows you to speak to other people using the same cellular carrier. The value is all in the tail, it's all tail, everything is tail in communications. It's simply the network effect. It's funny that providers of basic communications, cell phone carriers, suddenly think because they're dealing with videos and not realtime voice communications that the netowork effect doesn't apply. Thinking that everyone is going to watch the same videos is like assuming that everyone is going to want to call the same telephone numbers. ESPN mobile made this assumption... that people would buy phones and pay for services just to watch a football game or baseball game from ESPN. This is completely contradictory to the nature of a personal communications device... the parellel, the convergence is between voice communications and email... such as the blackberry... or what about voice, email, and an RSS aggregator? And soon... voice, email, RSS text, and RSS with image, audio and video podcast. It's got to be what the user wants... there can be no gatekeeping of content on networked service... the expectation of accessibility only goes one way and that is people constantly want more access. The internet has permenently changed expectations. Just as noone goes from having 500 channels of cable to wanting 5 broadcast channels... noone goes from having access to millions of blogs, and news sources, and email, and videos, and photoblogs, and such as can only be found on an open web and goes back to wanting only ESPN games on telephone. They value proposition for such gatekept services is forever blown. It's got to by my friends videos, my friends photos, my peers blogs, my email, my family photos. It's so ironic to me that people like verizon and microsoft with the zune are STILL coming out with services and making deals around the assumption that the media on their platforms belongs to some company somewhere. I already pointed this out with the verizon / gootube deal... but it's also extremely obvious with the zune. It automatically assumes the media on your device is not yours... and keeps you from sharing it. These are the assumptions of a bunch of lawyers and beuracrats in board rooms in some of the largest conglomerates in the world. It never even occurs to them that it could be YOUR song, your podcast, that it could be creative commons... that the media could be anyone else's other than theirs... and that even if it is someone elses media not theirs that people might feel differently about sharing it. COpyleft and creative commons and fair use don't even exist in their vocabulary. These are still all issues of accessibility. Today that

Re: [videoblogging] anyone have any experience with veoh.com?
In the past 18 months, Veoh has (these are all findable in the Y! group archives): * harvested email addresses from this group and spammed them all. Then apologized and purged their (email) database. * posted videos from people in this group who didn't sign up for their service, without link-backs (including copyrighted videos), immediately after which they received a huge round of funding. Then apologized and purged their (feed) database. * been active and useful participants in this group, for which no apology is needed. They've made mistakes in the past, but they do try to rectify them when the backlash hits this group. Which is better than most Internet companies. Were I in the ratings business (which I'm not), I'd give them a fairly neutral rating, which is higher than I give YouTube (which gets massive negatives for hosting millions of videos with really crappy quality, so that people get the impression that crappy video is what videoblogging is about).

When I post a new article on the site, I usually create a comments page, and link that from the beginning of the web page. Yeah, DH installed WordPress within a folder of your domain. Rather than run it under /comments, you could run it under /blog or the root. I did try a third-party comment app similar to the one mentioned a year or so back, but it does not embed comments in the page, so my own kludge solution is just about as good. The app mentioned was WordPress and that is what you are using. It would be much better to use a data-driven app. WP is a great content management system for blogging. For example, you have this page running within WordPress... http://www.beginningwithi.com/comments/2006/09/22/wosa-na-reunion-2006/ But the post body is just a link to your full (HTML) post here... http://www.beginningwithi.com/Woodstock/wosana2006.html That HTML post could easily be posted within WordPress. And the WP design can be the same as on your HTML pages. Comments would then be inline with the post. WordPress offers a ton more add-on modules. How many old HTML posts do you have (quick guess)? I use Dreamhost too and could help set this up on a sub-domain of yours. The only issue would be you'd have a lot of copy/pasting to do. Once the posts are in WordPress (a database), your blogging process will be easier. If you are just having template problems, feel free to email me or post here. - Matt http://vlogmap.org

Re: Re: [videoblogging] anyone have any experience with veoh.com?
Without really knowing anything, I think veoh is not taking your blip.tv feed is because blip.tv told veoh to stop scrapping its feeds to fill veohs database. So they may have a blanket no-blipfeed policy. It may be a pain (but what about videoblogging isnt?:), but you may have to just import your vids to veoh.

[videoblogging] President 2.0?
Hi everyone, I wrote to the group before regarding Gov. Tom Vilsack of Iowa who is running for President in 2008. As I mentioned, he has a videoblog (which now has a feed up as well): Website: http://tomvilsack08.com/ Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/tomvilsack08-vlog Anyway, the reason I write is that Gov. V is hoping that some of you might be interested in corresponding for his site. We are in the very preliminary stages in terms of how this all might work... but I wanted to gauge people's interest/availability. There are a few events over the next couple of days in New Hampshire, Pittsburgh, Vegas, Des Moines and South Carolina that need covering, if there is anyone interested from those locations. He's certainly an underdog in this campaign, with nowhere even close to the funding of some of the other, more well-known candidates... but this is exactly what makes videoblogging so exciting. Technology has enabled a candidate like Gov. V to have his message heard and to communicate directly with the people. Also, he's very interested in doing things the right way-- he wants to be as web 2.0 as possible, so if you have any suggestions please send them my way. Feel free to contact me directly if you prefer to communicate off-list. Thanks in advance for your feedback, Amanda

Re: [videoblogging] Virtual identity
Hey Loiez, It look like Ziki is doing wildcard based advertising. eBay does this alot too. Basically, the way it works is that people can make ads where they put the searched phrase in the ad. So... someone can make an wild card ad title like... Buy ##PHRASE## And then ##PHRASE## is replaced with whatever is searched for. So, if you searched for Polar Bears, then the ad title would become... Buy Polar Bears (Note... they probably don't use ##PHRASE## exactly... but do use something like it.) So... Google's wildcard advertising technology might be able to tell if something is a person's name... and only show Ziki's wildcard ad for that. (Also... just to throw out a little more info... these wildcard ads are usually sold at a very very cheap rate... since they usually generate alot of garbage traffic for the advertiser... since they usually only show up when there are no other ads to show.)

I opened M$IE7. The first time I tried to get to the site it crashed on a Flash.ocx error. The second time I got in no problem. I viewed a few of the videos. It was kinda strange. I had to click directly on the play arrow twice to get them to see the video, it was fine once I did that but ??? The next item of concern was when I wanted to view the comments on your most recent SPACE. it took forever for the comments page to load. I had to kick it in the pants before it would show the page. (Dde, you're stone nuts by the way, and I mean that in a good way!) As far as the interview is concerned think about the three most important things you want to let folks know about. And maybe twenty other incidentals. I'm an info-junkie so I don't worry about what to talk about, it is more like containment. Listen to the question, take a breath and answer. Be yourself, but don't cuss on the Beeb. Tell them why you like to do this, why you enjoy it, creative juices, no barriers and how you learned to work and understand those daffy Americans, oh let us not forget the travel advantages and opportunities.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Nokia N93
Hey Stan, Just saw this: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 Geo-VideoBlogging with the Nokia N95 http://movogo.blogspot.com/2006/11/geo-videoblogging-with-nokia-n95.html There is a new cellphone on the horizon that is billed as a multimedia computer. Nokia intends to release this camera in the second quarter of 2007. It finally integrates good optics (Carl Zeiss) with an integrated GPS and up to 2GB storage. Using the Nokia SDK, it may be possible to do photo geo-tagging and even video geo- tagging on the device itself. If not, certainly it will be possible to send a web service location information and media to do the geo- tagging on a remote server. See this review for more details. Here is a sample low-resolution photo from the N93 -- a 3.2 megapixel camera. The N95 is billed as a 5 megapixel camera. Both use Carl Zeiss optics (unlike the very poor sensors on current cellphone cameras in the US). US carriers won't carry this. If you use T-Mobile or Cingular, you'll be able to plug-in a US SIM card into these devices to use them. Is the camera any good? Currently, videobloggers are using the N93 cellphones on wifi networks. That is, they wait until they are in a hotspot and then use a wifi network to send photos and videos.

[videoblogging] Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But Few Post Them
Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But Few Post Them by Joe Mandese, Thursday, Nov 30, 2006 8:00 AM ET IN A FINDING THAT UNDERSCORES the potential of a vast, untapped market for user-generated video, new research conducted by interactive agency Sharpe Partners indicates that more than half (54) percent of adult Internet users currently create their own video offline, but only 11 percent actually upload it to the Internet. That margin, says Sharpe, represents a significant opportunity for software and system providers to help facilitate the migration of a burgeoning consumer generated video marketplace online. It also suggests an even more profound fragmentation of the video marketplace is looming than many industry experts may have predicted. One of the chief reasons for the disparity between producing and posting video is the difficulty consumers said they have with the process. The study, which was conducted online by Harris Interactive, surveyed 2,125 U.S. adults between June 29 and July 2, and found that more than two-thirds of those who create their own video found it difficult to edit their content due to the lack of consumer-friendly software. Clearly, given easier solutions, consumers will be far more likely to edit their videos, said Sharpe CEO Kathy Sharpe. And those who edit their video are presumably more likely to share it with others, which will expand this market even further. *Joe Mandese is Editor of MediaPost.* http://publications.mediapost.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticleHomePageart_aid=51868 -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal) www.tvblob.com (work) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
