Re: [videoblogging] video blog, the term of choice
you are correct, a video blog sounds more like a genre of video podcasting. I still think that vidcasts was the best name.

Re: [videoblogging] videos at PodcastPickle?
We do not put your cast in audio or video. Our site reads your rss feed, and from the information in your feed it is put in the proper place. You may have your cast miss identified as an audio podcast. I will have the tech check it for you On 10/28/07, Richard Amirault [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - Original Message - From: Patrick Cook On 10/25/07, Richard Amirault [EMAIL PROTECTED]ramirault%40verizon.net wrote: Anyone know how to set up a video podcast at PodcastPickle? ANSWER - You can't. Not sure I believe you (or maybe, that you don't know what you are talking about ;-) There ARE video podcasts listed at podcast pickle, so somehow, some folks have set things up right. The ADD CAST screen has nothing specific for video. I've added my 'cast .. but they call it an audio cast, not a video cast, and my questions to them (both direct and in the forum) have not been answered. Well Richard, lemme clear up (What may be) a few misgnomers which you may seem to be assuming. 1). Unlike many places, PodcastPickle IS NOT a hosting service (It's only a directory). Some,places (Such as Pod-O-Matic) however ARE. As such, you can't upload videos to PodcastPickle HOWEVER you can submit your RSS feed URL to them for review and submission to the directory (They usually review the feed to determine its validity and other technical things). Yes, I know all that. When I said set up I meant getting it listed as a video podcast. The discription of my show *says* it is a TV show. Anyone who read beyond the title would think (properly) that it is not an audio podcast, but a video podcast. Yet it got listed as an audio podcast. 2). PodcastPickle's main focus is audio podcasts because let's face it - Unless you're Rocketboom or DLTV, that's the format the biggest and most popular shows are in (Even Dawn Drew's video podcast SUCKS BALLS compared to their audio podcast). So what if the main focus is audio? They DO have a video podcast section. My cast in not there. I think there were a few other things I wanted to say, but I forgot what they were now. :D Hope this answers your question :D Richard Amirault Boston, MA, USA http://n1jdu.org http://bostonfandom.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hf9u2ZdlQ -- Gary Leland www.PodcastPickle.com www.PickleReviews.com www.PickleMobile.com www.PodcasterTree.com www.PodcastJunk.com www.PodcastInspector.com www.DillDomains.com www.MySalesAccount.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
