[videoblogging] Re: vloggercon mention on twit
HAHAHA, they do a lot of dissing on the word vlog... and Leo mentions Andrew Congdon and Amanda from Rocketboom. He also says this is the first meeting of vloggers. Leo has a history of misrepresenting information. One time he dissed Feedburner about publicly announcing his stats, yet he had the Awareness API running which publizes the numbers. Needless to say, all the TWiT fanboys took Leo's word and began hating on Feedburner and canceling their accounts. Very lame. Anyways, back to this recent incident... Leo goes on to mention something about doing the TWiT show from the Apple store on Friday. Is he trying to overshadow the Meet the Vloggers event? Oh and maybe someone should contact Patrick since he was offended that nobody invited him to be a media sponsor.

IPTV? This has nothing to do with TV. I think video blog (vlog for short) and video podcast are here to stay. I do differentiate between the two though.

Blog: A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but occasionally spelled web log or weblog) is a web-based publication consisting primarily of periodic articles, most often in reverse chronological order. /wikipedia But is this new?... Video on the Internet has existed for years. I used to work for ESPN and we would post videos of the medal winning runs at the X Games. It was timely and cronological. RSS was not common at that time, but how was that not a vlog? According to the above definition, it was... and it was also the year 1999 (5 years before vlogs were invented). So part of me does not view vlogging as something new. In my opinion, it is simply video over IP. However, I do think RSS with media enclosures is a huge changing factor. Does that mean a vlog must have RSS? We've tackled this debate before and I'd argue it does not. Another helping factor was the reduction in price for cameras and bandwidth. My point is that we didn't really have a name for video on the Internet before, but now we are trying to label every type of video with a single name. I'm not sure it is possible or if everyone will ever agree. Matter of fact, I'm not even sure it matters. Video is video.

[videoblogging] Re: Fwd: settings in snap x
It can be hard to decipher jokes from text... I'm a business-minded (evil?) person and I read the sentence literally. The forwarded email is only slightly ironic. Freevlog may be giving away free information, but the site is successful due to its high-quality screencasts. Notice there is no tutorial on screencasting. The ability to create a crisp looking screencast represents the main barrier to entry. Giving away the secrets of screencasting runs the risk of someone else starting their own tutorial site. I'm planning to build out screencast tutorials for how to use VlogMap, but if that got expanded into basic vlogging tutorials it would be competing directly w/ Freevlog. That probably would not be seen as a communal move by Freevlog, even though others may come to the site and see it as spreading free/helpful info. For the record I have no plans of doing so, but I can see why some sites like to keep some secrets.

[videoblogging] Re: Money to be made Geovlogging local companies!?
Mapping vlogs is cool and all, but mapping individual video posts has the potential to be much more compelling. So now there are two maps... The original map of vlogs: http://community.vlogmap.org/maps/worldmap (Note, unclaimed vlogs are a dark maroon color, while vlogs that have been claimed by a registered user are bright red.) And here is the new map of geovlogged videos: http://community.vlogmap.org/maps/worldmap How does it work?... After registering, you can plot new markers and either of the maps. There is more than one way to submit a marker. Here is more information on submitting content... http://community.vlogmap.org/handbook/submissions Notice the bookmarklets that make geovlogging and revlogging (other peoples' videos) much easier. I need to find the time to screencast some tutorials, but feel free to email me directly with any questions/problems you may have. User feedback is very appreciated. It helps me understand the needs/problems and is the quickest way to improve the site.

Why? There are players for both Windows and Linux. Matt said 90% of his traffic comes from iTunes, I bet the vast majority of those are iTunes users on Windows. Yeah, I completely disagree w/ Quicktime causing Windows/Linux users to be out of luck. First of all, iTunes has captured the market for now... it works on both Windows/Mac and is bundled with Quicktime. Second, Linux users have many options and are used to hunting down workarounds. IMHO, topic-based vlogs benefit more from being in iTunes than any other viewing method (including embedding videos on their site). I've help a handful of action sports companies create video podcasts and each has had great success with Quicktime (iTunes). Each of the sites I've worked on show stats very close to Ridertech... 92.6% = iTunes 0.02% = Yahoo 0.008% = Unknown 0.007% = Bloglines 0.003% = Mefeedia 0.0008% = FireANT Actually, the other sites show an even higher percentage of iTunes readers. Don't get me wrong, I DO think that Flash on the blog (w/ a QT alternative link) and a Quicktime feed for iTunes is the best. If you have the Flash FLVs already, you can also easily add a Flash feed. So where is the problem? Do you think WMV should get more play? Vlogging already has a high production cost and I do not see the value in adding WMV right now.

Video podcasting is an easy sell to companies when you show them that their competitors are already in iTunes. If none of the competition is listed, then explain how they could capture the market and be seen as innovators. The key is to find businesses that already have video. If they don't, the scope of the project is much larger. Maybe you can then offer to help film for even more money. Warning, do not under-bid just to get work.

I just helped Hyperlite (wakeboarding manufacturer) put out their video podcast the other day and it is already #66 on the Top 100 list. Not sure if Ridertech will be able to hang on though (#93). Sad part is that the editors of the iTunes directory have way too much power... they have those featured topics on the podcast frontpage and if you get listed there it will make a huge difference. Once you're on the Top whatever list, it then starts promoting itself. Meaning more people just subscribe to what is popular. All this starts from (probably) a single iTMS editor. Not sure that relates directly to the topic at hand, but it was on my mind. -Matt YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.

[videoblogging] Re: Tracking the conversations, etc.
There are a few different levels of this problem, but tags are indeed the way to go if you want a solution that is not site-dependent. Part of the problem you're describing is due to this uber group and the inability to break out discussions by topic. I'm working on a new idea (new site?) that will help facilitate the video relationships, but I'm not sure the community is strong enough to support it. -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Devlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think I've ever posted a real message to this group, so if I breach any etiquette it's only out of ignorance :) ...but something has been bugging me for a while now and I think if any group people can address it, it would be this group. We saw during videoblogging week 2006 how hard it was to keep track of all the videos being posted with the 'videobloggingweek2006' tag...granted we were relying on technorati which kind of left us hanging. Now with the 'ism' conversations recently I find it hard to keep track of the every one's input to that conversation. Tags are great, but (unless I am dense and don't know how to use blogger) blogger doesn't provide an easy interface to add tags to posts. Videobloggers may not be inclined to copy and paste the required html or even know how to use tags properly. Before I started videoblogging I am sure it was easy to keep track of these threads since there were a few people participating...but since the explosion, there's just too many to keep up with 'manually' I guess in my usual round-about way I am asking this: how can we facilitate conversation tracking? Groups, and social networks aren't good for this since they are confined to the hosting site. Do we need to promote tag usage more? Do we need to poke and prod blog hosting services to provide support for tags (ie, make is easier to tag).

Directly from Apple's website...

Awesome they recommend a different browser, but it goes on to provide a Javascrip hack for IE... http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed.html Personally, I'm not a big fan of bloating my page code just to get around a stupid IE feature.

[videoblogging] Re: Sick of the sexism
Thank you Casey! The exact same arguements were made very early in the discussion yet some members wanted to make this into so much more. For the record, two new people posted today and got negative feedback. It sucks we probably won't see any more posts from them. I'm all for discussions and arguments, but something bothers me about the trend of this group. Actually, it isn't a trend - we've always been sensitive and defensive. >From Wikipedia... Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet culture: Do not feed the trolls. Sadly, this is becoming more frequent here.

[videoblogging] Re: Sick of the sexism
The fact is that not everyone is making personal video blogs. The same technology we use is also being using for video podcasting shows. Many of those shows are indeed TV-like and they tend to follow the old (proven) methods. Generally speaking, the show-style is more popular (more viewers) than the diary-style. Not only is it a familiar format, but these shows are being heavily promoted in iTunes. Again, I'm not defending the hottie hostess issue. I'm only trying to point out that we all have different vlogs for different reasons. This group has always been anti-show...

Sure it is very tight-knit and friendly, but the group seems to have hovered around the 50-250 participating members since last year. There must be a way to bridge the gap between all the other vloggers.

[videoblogging] Re: Bridging The Gap
Plug? HAHAHA! I try to do good an get accused of bad - thanks. Considering most vloggers haven't even attempted to claim their vlog listing on the new VlogMap, I'm not really concerned about plugging the forums. I'll admit, I thought adding forums to VlogMap would be an added service. The goal was to provide another connection point for international vloggers and those interested in video blogging. However, the reality is that VlogMap gets 80-90% non-vlogger traffic. Most people come from searching Google, yet they still seem to be confused about what vlogging is. Many of the visitors are from outside the US. Many are visiting to find videos. Most are not vloggers. That does provide a good opportunity for those listed to reap traffic. Andy Carvin has mapped a ton of videos and has probably seen a slight increase in traffic. Anyways, I'm not sure how to continue... it is hard to develop tools for the community (minority) yet focus on the viewers (majority). That being said, the future of VlogMap is in the community's hands. If users don't add vlogs/geovlogs then it will go stale. If users don't moderate the listings, it may get filled w/ junk. As for the forums and handbook, they may get pulled down since nobody is using them. Participating would plug yourself. VlogMap operates on a $0 budget and makes $0. My only goal is to better the community and provide useful/fun tools for vloggers. Sorry that is seen as a plug. -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Josh Leo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: but perhaps this is all a brilliant ploy to plug the new vlogmap forums...

My point is that the Yahoo Group is small, hidden and not gear for non-vloggers. There are many topics here that would benefit people outside the group, but it does not have enough exposure. Search 'vlog', 'vlogs', 'video blog' or 'video blogs' and the Yahoo Group does not come up. start plug here VlogMap gets a shit load of traffic from search engines and international media articles.

I feel VlogMap has a responsibility to meet the needs of this majority, yet I'm not sure how to proceed if the community is not behind it. I would love to get the community's help, but it sounds like some are concerned about driving traffic to another site.

Because I think the general discussion of the Yahoo Group is too much and the group is not very inviting new members or non-vloggers. It is my opinion that forums should be broken down into sub-topics so that users can pay attention to the things they are interested in (or understand). As for linking to Yahoo (and others), I'm hoping to build out a complete video blogging handbook. Any registered user can create a new pages, yet not a single user has tried. The amount of work it took to get the new site up combined by the lack of community support has taken its toll on my motivation. I have hopes of building many more tools/features, but we'll see. Again, I'm not sure how to gear the site toward the 80% non-vloggers yet satisfy the 20% of vloggers (who VlogMap relies on for content). -Matt --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Andreas Haugstrup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, 09 May 2006 18:32:35 +0200, LeanBackVids.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are many topics here that would benefit people outside the group, but it does not have enough exposure.

[videoblogging] Re: Bridging The Gap
I'm not sure what we can do as a larger community, but as the only developer of VlogMap, my mind is centric to the site... I'm not trying to compete with other sites, but I do feel a responsibility to those who visit VlogMap. Over the past year, I've analyzed where visitors come from and what paths they take through the site. Most are not vloggers and many have very little knowledge of what we are doing. If we can welcome them and educate them on the basics, we may be rewarded with more vloggers. Combine the issue of non-vloggers, those who are technically challenged, and people who are not comfortable with English, and it becomes hard to build a site that caters to each. My intention for building forums and a handbook was to bridge the gap between tech- and non-tech vloggers, as well as vloggers and non-vloggers. I see forums has something that is mainly used by existing vloggers (searched for info by all) and the handbook as a way for everyone to teach/learn more. There is indeed a problem with repeat questions and the inability to find answers here on the Yahoo Group. It is my opinion that this group is very powerful, yet very small. We cannont expect everyone to come join this group and keep up on the myriad of discussions. There aren't even 1,000 vlogs mapped yet (many are not part of this group), BUT there is a large influx of viewers on VlogMap. It would be nice to get help in educating them. I simply do not have ability to manage all this, but they are here now. The solution does not have to be VlogMap-based, but I'm not sure where to begin the education process. -Matt -- http://vlogmap.org SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use Explains YAHOO!
