Anyone remember them scraping various video sites (*cough*blip*cough*) and

I believe most manufacturers have signed on to use tru2way, which is

[videoblogging] Backing up your media

2009-01-31 Thread Josh Paul
After the recent discussion about Revver, and the need to backup your  
videos elsewhere, I thought I'd mention Mozy (which now has a Mac  
client). I recently had a nasty drive failure (my Drobo and its backup  
both failed on the same day...with Seagate drives no less).

For $4.95/month I now backup to Mozy, with unlimited storage capacity.

[videoblogging] DIY video ads

2008-12-11 Thread Josh Paul
Hi all,

My company just put out a DIY video ad creation tool. In a nutshell  
you sign up, put one line of javascript on your site, and enable  
visitors to create video ads directly on your site with money coming  
directly to you. You have complete control over the ad packages  
offered (i.e. $100 per week, $20 CPM, $0.50 CPC) and the look of the  
tool (via css).

If you'd like to give it a shot on your site, ping me and I'll give  
you the URL to signup.

Josh

(Yes, it's been a while since I've posted/responded. And, well, some  
of you may view this as spamish. But, I sincerely hope some of you  
find this of use.)

[videoblogging] Re: Interesting video interview about the future of online video adv

2008-02-18 Thread Josh Paul
We're not an ad network. We're an ad agency...albeit similar to the  
Starbucks of Ad Agencies (i.e. we have a set menu of advertisements,  
that a client can then customize to his liking).

Put simply, we charge for the video creation, so we're not going after  
the same dollars that you (the videoblogger) are. How much of the ad  
dollars you get will depend on who you're using to distribute your  
videos and what they provide as rev share.

That said, we are working with a couple of videobloggers who are  
going it alone. In such instances our fees depend on if we're  
providing the ad serving and placement service (pre/mid/post-roll), or  
simply the hooks to get an advertiser's video created, paid for, and  
then passed along to you.

Feel free to contact me off list if you'd like to chat, or we can keep  
the conversation going here.

Hi all,

As some of you know, my 18 month old nephew, Joey, is in critical
condition after being found in a pool a little over a week ago. This
last week has been quite trying for my family, and the last couple of
days have been difficult (highs and lows), as he has woken from his
coma. The doctors are now trying to determine if he has sustained any
brain damage and to what extent.

I have made a personal video, and posted it at:

   http://www.joshpaul.com/?p=263

Feel free to watch the video, and if you're so inclined, leave a
comment on Joey's update blog (link is in image form on my
post...trying to avoid spambots) which the family is reading. Also, if
you make a video, I will burn it to DVD and show it to my family over
the next week.

Warm regards,

There have been some great responses to the recent NYC and SF "Meet the

  Here is a post on the socialsoftwareblog:
http://socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000773052623/
  NPR covered the event and recently interviewed Jay and Ryanne,
Schlomo, Rene and others
  
  An attendee has started vlogging: http://cirne.blogspot.com/
(welcome Enric!)
  
  An iLife marketing manager from Apple came to the SF presentation
and spoke with Michael Verdi. Michael has sent a follow up email and
received a reply indicating the presentation was "terrific" and that
they are already exploring how this might be "expanded" to more stores.

As several people are interested in these presentations, I have setup a
video conference to discuss this.
I have reserved a "room" from 1pm-2pm PST = 4pm-5pm EDT today

http://flash.kmi.open.ac.uk:8080/fm/index.php?pwd=b27552-1507

The agenda is to discuss how we might best coordinate apple store
presentations and interact with Apple.
I hope Michael Verdi and Steve Garfield can attend as they have been
instrumental in setting up these events and have spoke with people from
Apple.

I am cross-posting this to both the meetthevloggers and videoblogging
groups

I realize this is somewhat short notice, but things are happening fast
these days as several folks have pointed out before.

Re: [videoblogging] The innocence of the vlogosphere is at an end

2005-08-04 Thread Josh Paul




Look at podcasting...just wait until traditional media jumps in.

We'll all have our different approaches, from the youngest person videoblogging to stay in touch with family in another country, to the largest corporation trying to garner as many eyeballs as it can (worldwide!). People will make money by producing content, software, hardware, hosting, etc. Others will produce content for the sheer joy of it, knowing they have access to the production tools and distribution system that has been out of reach for too long.

In all cases though, the world will become smaller and more connected, and everyone will (hopefully) have the opportunity to contribute criticism, news, and entertainment to anyone, anywhere, at anytime.

It puts a smile on my face. Define it however you want. I'm just excited to see it happening.

Re: [videoblogging] The first Videoblogging book (was: The innocence of the vlogosphere is at an end)

2005-08-04 Thread Josh Paul




Okay, I'm a little biased so feel free to take this post with a grain of salt. But, even before I wrote for O'Reilly, I had more of their (his?) books than I could count off the top of my head. The distribution is wide, the quality is high, and there's definitely a level of respect and validation given to the titles. Not to mention the amount of support the company provides its authors (I've spoken to people who've written for other publishers).

I think the Hacks series is great, I own at least four of them, and I think it is also one of their more popular series. So, it makes sense to me that they put Video Blogging there. The more people who get involved, the better. Right?

I'm hoping that those who contribute are able to push themselves and this new medium to even greater heights.

Again, I'm just excited to see it all happening.

 optional printed copies on request. 
 anyways... i'll check the wiki i'm wondering what vlog hack is ;-)

for those of you unfamiliar with the O'reilly hack series...check it out:
http://hacks.oreilly.com/
I hear you about independent publishingbut you cant beat the
distribution by a technical publisher like O'reilly

There will be other books written on videoblogging.
this is the first...and it might as well be written by us.
I think the hack format is great because its perfect for collaboration.

Re: [videoblogging] Apple Store demos

2005-07-27 Thread Josh Paul




(sorry about that attachment earlier)

I'd like to do both, introduce and teach. I think the beginning of the presentation should introduce the concepts, and hopefully attract some attention from people wandering the store. Then progress to showing them how to do it.

hairbrained idea
We could possibly set up a vlog where each session actually creates a video in-store and uploads it to the site. That way people attending the session would hopefully go home, view the footage, and tell their friends about it.
/hairbrained idea

Obviously I'm motivated to create the outline, as I've recently arranged to present at a store (but it won't be until September). Since I'm already going to do it, I figured I might as well both seek help and contribute back. The reason I'm suggesting to use Keynote, is because the store will provide the presentation system.
