2006-02-21 Thread David Dundas
I think what really makes them interesting is that they are one of the
first (of many to follow) filmmakers to really take it their success
into their own hands. They are certainly pioneers. 

So one of the content creators on our site said the hardest thing on
myspace on the web, on any medium where barriers to entry are below
sea level is rising above the noise. One of our content creators said
that directly. 

I think now that literally everyone is equipped with the same tools it
will become a game of who can be heard the loudest among all of the
noise out there. 

BTW can someone tell me how to create a signature?? Thanks :)

 OK, so I'm going to call you on this.
 
 How have they taken video blogging to a whole new level?
 
 My understanding is that they made a short film, like tens of 
 thousands of people do each year, and in a traditional anti-new media 
 move, have submitted it to a short film festival (like tens of 
 thousands of people do each year), and it did OK, but not great (like 
 thousands of short films do each year).
 
 Then to promote the film, they did six short video pieces about the 
 behind the scenes of making the film. Sounds a lot like what Matthew 
 Clayfield did with Kite Circuit[1].
 
 Am I understanding correctly?
 
 The only thing that piqued my interest, was a statement by the 
 filmmakers that the videos were extensions of the film, and although 
 they didn't directly say it, by implication the personas in the 
 videos are subsequently fictional. Sounds like another online serial 
 to me.
 
 I admit the charcter (not narrative) connection between film and 
 video is interesting, but no different to mainstream media doing a 
 film and a TV series.
 
 I haven't seen their film. In fact I couldn't find anywhere on their 
 site which tells me where or how to see the film. My recommendation 
 to them would be to release it,  at least in low quality, on the web. 
 Perhaps the buzz from making the connection between film and video 
 series would generate them more attention.
 
 I am astonished at their production skills combined with brilliant
 writing and assembling from a wide variety of shots including serious
 special effects to deliver an amazing virtual experience into their
lives
 
 I couldn't see anything particularly brilliant in the video series.
 
 It is truly a gift from GOD what they are doing.
 
 Like I said, I haven't seen the film, so it could be REALLY good.
 
 Having said that, I think they need to take a step back and embrace 
 the new media a bit better, instead of using the online medium 
 essentially to promote an offline product. It would thus be offensive 
 to give them any kind of video blogging award for this.
 
 Or maybe I've misundertood.

2006-02-22 Thread David Dundas
Working on it :). I love reading this group because you all are so far
ahead of regular people. I love it because it is what is driving
mainstream 6-12 months out. Believe it or not I still have a hard time
explaing RSS to my friends and family! 

So while all of these features are being built and considered,
aggregators are still learning how people are using the site, and what
their habits are. For example. I love dig as a site. But because its
so seeming teen/tech heavy the only articles that bubble are about
Apple, Linux, or Google. 
So now I try Newsvine, and its more progressive news with a NY times
slant because of the types of people using it. 

I have said this in past posts...but give us some time to mature a bit
and the audience to moderate a bit, and our offerings will improve.
But these ratings types really only work when you get a fair cross
sampling of users.

 videos of interest to the viewer. If the aggregator can ascertain the

 determine the type of video. It could then filter the videos  
 appropriately.
 
 Right now I have 373 unwatched videos in FireAnt. If it had a way to

 Hopefully someone will run with this (MeFeedia, FireAnt, I/ON...anyone?)

[videoblogging] Re: Are any of you Vloggers on the Myspace Film side?

2006-02-25 Thread David Dundas
Myspace has succeeded in providing people with an online identity as a
n easy messaging interface within the Myspace ecosystem. In doing
this, they have grown astronomically. I heard a figure like 10% of all
advertising on the web is on Myspace which almost floored me. So the
traffic that one may receive on Myspace is undeniable. 

Indie bands and now idie filmmakers are using Myspace as a way to
reach hundreds of thousands of people about their projects or work. 
What I think is yet to be seen is if this frenetic environment that
Myspace has created will appeal to everyone. 

As people have said the geocities-like interface is immediately a
turnoff for some. This blog actually articulates pretty well why you
would NOT want to use Myspace
http://blogs.stolenmixtape.com/mix/archives/2005/10/26/myspace-should-not-be-your-bands-only-web-presence/

I think Myspace is great for traffic, but you have very little control
over your blog outside of layout. The traffic you direct to your
profile is Myspace's traffic, some bloggers would like to some day
make money on their blog, and Myspace will NEVER allow for users to
monetize their profiles or anything in those profiles.

Also Myspace is content is not open. There are no RSS feeds to
profiles or content. So syndication outside of that environment is
impossible. We saw earlier this year when Youtube started to grow, and
the embedding of Youtube video grew on Myspace profiles, Myspace
blocked the video embedding code. They only allowed the code again
after Youtube and Myspace users wrote myspace about it. A few weeks
later Myspace released their beta video offering. 

So as a content creator I can see why you would be attracted to the
sheer scale of the Myspace network, but I would definitely be worried
about Myspace controlling everything you can do within that network
and your ability to ever montetize that. The average teen doesn't care
about, but I think anyone who has content that matters would.

 Jay,
 
 In the film part, it is set up for people to network and communicate
 with other people in the industry from festival people to filmmakers,
 editors, actors etc. It is just another avenue where people
 communicate. It also is a place that people use to brand themselves in
 a sense. Meeting others and getting others to know them and their work. 
 
 When you have a community that is drawn together for a common goal, it
 is much easier to achieve that goal than on a standard blog where one
 has to hope that someone finds them. I think you see a lot of indie
 people on there with that strong desire to network, communicate etc. I
 have used it for casting, networking around this new doc that I'm
 shooting and it has been amazing actually from dealing with subjects,
 crew and actors on various projects. 
 
 I've also been contacted for projects to collaborate on that are quite
 exciting. The blog itself isn't that much different than a normal blog
 except for the context that it exists within. This context is for
 networking and the blogs tend to be driven towards the project that
 you are working on.
 
 In the regular myspace world, not the film or the music, it's just a
 place where people are hooking up with old friends or new
 friends/dating potentials. All in all it is a pretty amazing concept
 that seems to be drawing a ton of attention obviously and has proven
 to be a great marketing tool for the music and film industry.

[videoblogging] Re: Are any of you Vloggers on the Myspace Film side?

2006-02-26 Thread David Dundas
I think that what you have to realize about Myspace is that it is
first about identity, and then about content. So much of the
craziness of Myspace is about having or wanting to Maintain an
identity. And that is why it is so huge among the demographic of the
teens to the mid twenties where they spend much time defining who they
are from a social perspective.  

I have a login for Facebook(www.facebook.com)... and I use that as a
BC alum to stay in touch with people from college. I have a login at
Linkedin (www.linkedin.com) and I use that for my professional
networking. I have heard about a social networking site that is
launching soon geared towards social activists. I think that as social
networking sites mature they will become more specialized. And I think
that today Myspace is just the MTV of the social networking world.

When we were building YouAreTV, we built social networking into the
site as a means for discovery of video for people you may know or
whose opinion you respect, and getting and giving feedback for videos
on the site. We also built the social networking so that you could get
to know the person behind the video.  However, I would not consider
YouAreTV a social networking site, but we do have social networking
features. In the case of YouAreTV the video is central. For Myspace
the user, the individual is central. 
From what I know about blogger culture information is central how
much do I know about various topics. So where features may overlap
with all
of these sites where you may consume stuff: video, images,
information they are not all the same. 
It's a nuanced difference but should be noted.

 That article you linked to was good. So far people have been extremely
 fickle with social networking sites, I see no reason why it will be

 It has some good features, I personally hate it because its a mess. Oh
 yeah and I am biased against it because its owned by Murdoch.
 
 Although there are clear benefits to such a large scale of social
 networking, I prefer smaller  more specialised communities, ansd
 cleaner user interfaces.
 
 Right now I am fixated with drupal and what it can do in terms of
 letting people create groups. I am currently in the early stages of
 remaking vjcentral.com so that it uses drupal  takes advantage of all
 the stuff thats emerged over the last few years, like tagging,
 videoblogging etc.
 
 I am more than amazed that the videoblogging community hasnt done
 something similar, and has stuck with an array of semi-connected
 sites, yahoo groups etc. I know particular sites such as ourmedia are
 using the group stuff in drupal, but there doesnt seem to be that much
 overlap between who  what is going on there, and members of this list.
 
 Node101 strikes me as great example of something that would benefit
 greatly from having this sort of online presence. New groups can be
 created by anyone to represent a new node, nodes can publish material
 that is seen by just that one node, or shared with certain other
 groups, or with everyone. I am formally volunterring to help with such
 an effort if it is wanted. I will post about this again once I got a
 beta of the new vjcentral running, so any interested people can take a
 look and see if such a system would be useful for node101 etc.

[videoblogging] Re: myspace video

2006-03-03 Thread David Dundas

I actually have been sitting this convo out... but because there have
been so many emails with myspace in the subject dropped in my inbox
over the past few days, I thought i'd contribute...


I can't think of one example that has had this type of integrated
environment and lasted... geocities, aol? Being recent college grad
('03) I saw the fall of Friendster. I saw people stop using AIM when
they moved out of college, I saw a ton of people use Skype last year,
and not so much anymore. I see now people in college using Facebook
instead of Friendster and Myspace... these things inevitably get
replaced. Myspace won't go away tomorrow, but the site is still a
primarily a social means of keeping in touch and identity...as the
main users of this site (16-24)grow out of this stage I can't see them
sticking with it.  

I don't think it matters what type of  environment Myspace is. What
the experience is, what the upload process is, what the content
ownership terms are. The fact remains that today Myspace has a
ridiculous amount of traffic, and for bloggers seeking visibility,
from the sounds of it, tools, user experiences, peer environment and
content rights are willing to be exchanged for visibility and traffic.
Until Myspace goes out of style if it ever does, people will be
attracted to it for the sheer page views that they drive. They don't
have to do any of the aforementioned things because they are the big
dogs.

Hi Group, I don't typically post videos from YouAreTV in forums, but I think this one is very pertinent. Lawrence Lessig did an introductory talk at the New York Public Library about copyright law and technology on April 7, 2005. http://www.youare.tv/watch.php?id=534He says that copyright laws stifle creativity, and democracy. It's an idea that begs the question. Would you stop creating what you create if someone could just take it and do whatever they wanted with it? The content creators I talk to are seeking exposure today, so they are willing to place their content wherever they can. As some of them grow in popularity, I am sure that we'll see them become more protective over their work. It's a great presentation. Lessig is a very smart guy.

Yeah. I think there's a fine line there between an engine that
searches and discovers and points back to the site and a service that
actually transcodes and hosts that content. They are distributing with
out distribution rights. 

For example we are seeing new media search engines get a hold of our
feeds, and offering them in their listings. It's something that we are
watching very closely. 

And also something that we are still fighting with as we think about

Hey Joe, What are you seeking a hosting service for? Is they personal videos,blog posting, or is it some type of produced content? Are you looking for a lot of traffic for your video or are you justlooking for something to share videos? I would say if you are looking for blog integration blip tv is firstin class. If you are looking at personal video sharing, vsocial is adecent service. For a ton of traffic you but less than desirable rights terms can use Youtube or Myspace.Or if your video is a regularly produced show, or short films, oursite YouAreTV does that really well I think :). --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Joe Verdi" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I seem to be having difficulty in publishing videos to ourmedia.

Hey Verdi, 

Thanks for the questions. This is a very beta version of YATV. Some of
the questions that you ask are things that we are sorting out as a
company as far as best technical implimentation to provide accurate
metrics for tracking files and RSS enclosures. 

Coming very soon... embedded player code. So that instead of linking
directly to the file, you can just take the code and embed it in your
page. It's pretty standard, across many sites, but we wanted to launch
our with some cool features that dont exist in most players. 

RSS enclosures is a bit further down the list but is something that we
definitely plan on including. 


 Hey David,
 Very nice terms of use there on youare.tv. I have a question about
how it
 works though. It looks like you guys don't provide any direct link
to the
 video. You have to view source find the url and append it to
yourare.tv. Why
 is this? The way you have it set up, really the only way to watch
things is
 locked in there on the site. Also the RSS feeds only point to the
video page
 not the video so you can't subscribe in FireAnt or something similar.

  I would say if you are looking for blog integration blip tv is first

  Or if your video is a regularly produced show, or short films, our
  site YouAreTV http://www.youare.tv does that really well I think :).
