[videoblogging] Blogs n Dogs in Banff

2005-10-19 Thread Chris Nolan.ca
Eric,

  I noticed you're on the 'faculty' for the 'Blog n Dogs' @ the Banff
New Media Institute.  See http://www.blogsndogs.com/  and
http://www.banffcentre.ca/programs/program.aspx?id=487 for the info
about the 4 day seminar in December.

  How much of the program will be vlogging do you know?  From the
'about' and 'topics covered' it is pretty vague if vlogging will be
discussed much at all?

Thanks for your time,

[videoblogging] Re: Vlog Newbie needs assistance!

2005-10-01 Thread Chris Nolan.ca
 Personally, I'd recommend vloggers embed
 their movies as well as provide a directly link (maybe at the bottom).

Do others find it annoying though that when they are watching the
video in ANT and the embedded video starts playing in the HTML area? 
Not only does one have to go pause the embedded one, but the bandwidth
savings for the host are lost since it's coming down a second time.

I guess one has to balance the viewers, do most watch the video on the
webpage, or through the feed?  For people that program their own site,
consider striping any embedding logic out of the feed perhaps?

Good Night, and Good Luck opening in a few weeks is going to be

For those not familiar the subject of the movie is Edward R. Burrows

[videoblogging] You are your own judge

2005-07-23 Thread Chris Nolan.ca




A recent blog entry of mine talked about how a large media company
dropped the ball on a particular topic. When a founder of the company
commented on my blog and we started up a conversation I was reminded
of the notion of celebrity and how inaccessible they appear. 

Thus came my post - You are your own Judge (

Can vloggers topple the tower that is the cult of celebrity, or will
we suffer its fate?

[videoblogging] Vlogger += 1, my introduction

2005-07-21 Thread Chris Nolan.ca




Hey there,

 I thought I'd post a short little introduction. I am Chris
Nolan.ca, and my site is http://ChrisNolan.ca/ - easy eh? 

 I live in Toronto, with my wife Jen (http://mewren.com/ - sometimes
blogger too). Since my website is home grown (I do all the coding
myself) it has taken me a little while to get around to updating the
system to handle enclosures but yesterday I finally did (and learnt
this morning that I messed up because I allowed multiple enclosures
per item, whoops). I'm a geek at heart, with interests in movies,
technology, comicsbooks - you know the usual geekdom properties.
 
 My first day and I've managed to post 3 new videos - I think I'm
hooked! It is liberating to know that there is an audience out there! 

 My latest, entitled A Great Fire May Follow a Tiny Spark (
http://chrisnolan.ca/archive/ID/515 ) is a play on the growth of the
vlogosphere taken from the begining of 2005 to the end. Check it out
if you get a moment, and don't be shy about leaving comments.

 If you just want to add my vlog only feed, using
http://chrisnolan.ca/feed/category/vlog

 I hope this post hasn't been too much self promotion? I look
forward to learning from all of you and being able to contribute to
the group as well.

[videoblogging] Re: New Member Intro

2005-07-21 Thread Chris Nolan.ca




  What it does is syndicate your content
  such that lots of feedreaders (web-based or standalone) can
  subscribe to it and show your loyal readers the latest from you 
 as
  soon as you publish it. 
 
 That is the part that interests me.
 

I haven't come across the usage of 'pings' in any of the vlog
directories or aggregators yet. Is that something that is planning on
being added and just not done yet, or has there been a conscious
decision not to go that route?

For those not familar, a ping is basically a webserver that allows
your blog software to notify remote systems that you have new content
- helps speed up the distribution of the content and also allows them
to poll you less frequenty if you're not a super regular poster. More
information at http://newhome.weblogs.com/directory/11 

Imagine FireANT instead of @ 3:30 downloading you stuff for you, but
downloading it within minutes of it being published?

 Like Baron, I see that we are approaching a tipping point, and Fast.
 Before Christmas, we will have video iPods, and already we have the
 PSP. In less than two months we will have PSP here in Norway
 (Norwegian version, not just some import from Japan via UK).
 Videoblogging will be all over the place, and these next 6 months will
 be Crucial.

How much as the cellphone content been looked @? 3G? I noticed
Rocketboom is on the bandwagon, but are others? In conversation last
month with the cellphone producer for comedy central, he says that
only 30,000 subscribers exist in the US so far (those are cellphone
video subscribes, not subscribes to comedy central) - but overseas it
is much, much higher. Are there many vloggers in areas that cellphone
video is popular that can share their thoughts on that growth as well?

[videoblogging] More than one feed?

2005-07-21 Thread Chris Nolan.ca




My system is programmed to allow for a seperate feed for every
category (tag), and gives the most recent 15 entries for that tag. I
also have a 'main' feed which shows the most recent over all. Because
my blog is both video and text, when I first started I updated some of
my older videos so that they'd be available, as well I wasn't sure how
aggregators and stuff would handle a post that didn't have any
enclosure (i.e. my text posts).

Now it seems that the aggregators (mefeedia and fireant) ignore the
non-video posts, which is good - but to make a long story short I
added both to mefeedia originally and so now there are two different
entries over there :-( This could confuse people? (and also split my
subscribes in half, diluting my rank :-)

The question is, do people foresee a time when more generic
aggregators will exist that will handle the text entries and the
enriched entries? My system is going to have the extra feeds anyway,
but should I push people to use just the video only feed or push them
to use the main feed?

Thanks,
Chris Nolan.ca
