[videoblogging] Re: Four Eyed Monsters
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.

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. Regards, Richard [1] http://www.sequential-one.com/kitecircuit/ Yahoo!

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.

If the aggregator can ascertain the context from the blog post (and possibly the related tags in a directory like MeFeedia or FireAnt), then it can use that context to 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 learn what I like, it could then bubble up the videos I want to watch.

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

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?
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. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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 any different with myspace. 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 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.

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.
