Re: [videoblogging] Need advice for road trip

2007-09-11 Thread Stephanie Bryant
Given that your manifesto is about less, not more, perhaps you have all you
need at this juncture?

I would add a satellite phone or satellite internet connection, but I don't
know how remote you plan to get, or how often you will be returning to areas
of cellular coverage or available WiFi hotspots.

In our RV, we have a satellite internet receiver, a GPSr (which works in
amusing ways), two cell phones (ATT-- I would recommend getting 2 cells on
different networks, so you have the broadest coverage), and the usual
complement of laptops and cameras. But then, we're not doing a 1-year
journalism exercise, so our goals and needs are different.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: amateur review of the flip video camera

2007-08-06 Thread Stephanie Bryant
On the mac, I installed a video codec package that had everything I needed,
all in one swoop (I can't remember the name of it it right now-- it started
with a P). The Flip does come with software to use with the Mac, though-- no
hack required.

The Flip's packaging is obscene, it's so hard to get into. I did like the
fact that, at Costco, the Flip was all of $90. I bought four of them, but I
think I'm going to return three.

The hardest part for me is that my Mac has developed an intermittent USB
software issue, so the camera gets disconnected while accessing. That, and
the MacBook ports are too low to fit the Flip connector, and my USB cable
extension didn't want to play nice when I tried it. I have to monkey around
with that a bit more before considering it a failure, though.

The hardest part of getting started was getting the thing out of the
 darn molded plastic coffin it came in.  The hardest part of using the
 videos it recorded was... well, using a Mac.  It comes with stuff for
 Windows, but to use OSX video tools takes some hacking.  More hacking
 than I had patience for.  So I just ran the Flip Video software under
 Parallels.  I used the Movie Mix tool, strung together 25 clips, and
 voila:

 I paid!

 with the question did I think that vlogging was far behind.  Have any
 female vloggers had threatening comments or responses?

Aside from the many, many people who are very concerned that my penis
is not large enough, I have not had many threats or disparaging
comments. Early in my text blog days, I had at least one vaguely
threatening exchange with someone when I told him that I would not
give him an invitation code to join LiveJournal. By the end of the
exchange, he was making vague threats that I didn't know what he could
do.

Honestly, I find that vigorous, no-exception, outright blatant
censorship of these kinds of asshats is the very best way to stop them
cold in their tracks. When it comes to my blog, I AM QUEEN and nobody
gets to make me feel like less.

 I have always
 been mindful of the balance of maintaining my privacy while still
 vlogging about my life (however sporadically) - but video is still a
 very personal and revealing medium

I've stopped trying to keep my online identity (Mortaine) and my
real-life identity (Stephanie Bryant) separate. It didn't work very
well, and was just confusing when I'd need to use a personal email
account to contact someone. In video, I just do what I want to do, so
long as it respects the privacy of others around me. I don't vlog
children without both their and their parents' consent, for example,
even if they're in a public space where otherwise I could claim fair
use.

If the Internet were a real-world workplace, the kinds of things I've
seen even professionals say to one another would get them fired. I
just kind of file it away in my brain as note to self: don't ever
enter into any transaction with this person. I frankly don't have
time or bandwidth to work or play with people who treat others with so
little respect.

The bigger problem I have are actually vloggers I meet in meat-space.
This may be a local phenomenon, but in the Bay Area, I've had to
interact with more than one videoblogger who gave me the creeps,
fortunately (but not really coincidentally) always in public events.
Since I do presentations and speaking gigs on videoblogging now, I
tend to attract more of the gum on your shoe kind of guys showing up
to my events. Not much I can do about it, except rigorously maintain
my personal boundaries and make sure there's always at least one or
more trusted people attending the events with me.

* harvested email addresses from this group and spammed them all. Then
apologized and purged their (email) database.
* posted videos from people in this group who didn't sign up for their
service, without link-backs (including copyrighted videos),
immediately after which they received a huge round of funding. Then
apologized and purged their (feed) database.
* been active and useful participants in this group, for which no
apology is needed.

They've made mistakes in the past, but they do try to rectify them
when the backlash hits this group. Which is better than most Internet
companies.

Were I in the ratings business (which I'm not), I'd give them a fairly
neutral rating, which is higher than I give YouTube (which gets
massive negatives for hosting millions of videos with really crappy
quality, so that people get the impression that crappy video is what
videoblogging is about). I do include them in my list of links on the

Re: [videoblogging] Legal Question, I think..........

2006-05-22 Thread Stephanie Bryant



Iam not a lawyer: you should probably call a legal aid society for
REAL advice,and possibly get an attorney, especially since your video
may be subpoena'ed. However:

Conventions are usually explicitly not public; that's why they can
show movies that would otherwise be not legal to show. You may need to
call the con organizers to find out what the status of the venue was.

Were you there as a member of the press (were you covering the con for
Galacticast, for instance)? If so, you're good to go; it's a
press-covered event, just read up on libel law (blur the faces and
always say allegedly). If you sell the footage to a local media outlet
(hint hint), they will make a determination over whether or not to
blur or not blur for their own purposes, and you might consider that a
guideline yourself (though broadcast vs. internet are two different
media and different laws). Others on this list might know what
stringer footage rates are.

As for the raid: The MPAA are not law enforcement, nor are they public
servants. Therefore, as private citizens (basically corporate
lawyers), they can opt not to appear in a movie (unless it's a
newsworthy event).

Police officers, however, are public servants and can be filmed in the
course of executing their duties, in uniform or out of it.

You can blur the MPAA out if you didn't get a release. What would be
interesting would be to see how the MPAA executed this raid, and I
hope you keep us all updated on the progress.

Eddie, does Jason's answer change much when given the information that
a comic con is NOT a public place? I'm not sure (and Motor City Comic
Con's website is offline), but most media-centric cons are private--
you buy memberships to them, and have to wear a badge to get into
panels, sessions, and the dealers room (where these bootlegs were
being sold).

Also, Heath: remember that Jason is at the EFF, an organization
diametrically opposed to the MPAA philosophically as well as
tactically. Not saying it's bad advice. Just saying it's not objective

 So with that said, do your remember how you felt on your first public

Very nervous. I think my first public vlog was at work, so I had my

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Interesting USA Today article

2006-04-28 Thread Stephanie Bryant



You should be doing that anyway if it's not a public place, event, or
if the people present are identifiable.

There was a case in Seattle a few years ago (it settled recently), in
which a freelance journalist reported and exposed his apartment
building management's discriminatory practices. As a result, he was
shunned and threatened with losing his apartment. The case went to the
courts, where the judge decided that, because he didn't have a
contract with an editor, he wasn't acting as a journalist. It was an
absurd decision, obviously catering to the people with money
(preserving the status quo, etc.), and probably also partially based
on the fact that the journalist in question is kind of an annoying
git, on a personal level. But nonetheless, that was the decision. The
journalist appealed-- the last I heard, he won on his appeal, but it
took 10 years and a complete shift in the idea of journalism in
order to get there.

Re: [videoblogging] videos shot by cell phones

2006-04-26 Thread Stephanie Bryant



I use a Nokia cell phone (6682) with Cingular, and post to TypePad via
LifeBlog, mainly because I haven't set up my email gateway on my phone
and therefore can't actually send email with it (lame excuse, I know; I
had to return my first phone because I couldn't do any media on it,
which really sucked).

The Nokia has a program for video editing which does really basic
stuff-- fade outs, cutting, splicing, and voiceovers. So, for instance,
I can go on a weekend vacation without my laptop, shoot something cool,
edit it, and post it to the moblog.

LifeBlog is basically a blog client for cell phones. You don't have to
post a picture with it, and even though it has built-in TypePad
support, other developers could use the API if they wanted to.

I suspect that most people will be familiar enough with the email or
MMS gateway on their phones that it will end up being the more common
way to post to a mobile blog. I like LifeBlog, but it's more overhead
than you really need (another interface to learn, for example).

Which is why that's not the ideal solution I mentioned. As you've

The easiest way to get it to people is to have the videos emailed or

easiest way to get video on the phone.

BTW: Does XiCast use LifeBlog? And can you email some press kit info

Re: [videoblogging] Re: The Last Hours - Death of a Videoblogger Kevin Krutz

2006-04-24 Thread Stephanie Bryant



Jen, thank you for chiming in NOW and not letting the fascinating
discussion go on.

We've had this conversation on this list before, last year when a
vlogger faked having his kids taken away for something in his vlog.
Now, as then, and as with every other fake emotional manipulation in
the blogosphere, I am not amused by it.

There is an assumed contract between the blogger and the audience
that what's there is in some way or another real. This is especially
true in video, which is easy to manipulate but seems so real.

When a blog is fiction, it's best to identify it as such. Somewhere,
somehow, even if it's subtle.

More importantly is when a blog blurs the line between fiction and
non-fiction. For instance, when Kevin uses his real name but vlogs his
fake death. That's not right, somehow.

You are fascinated by the reactions because you were not manipulated.
Kevin is your student and you know he's okay.

I have stopped counting the number of times someone I know online
(or someone they know and they forward the information) has:
1) Died unexpectedly
2) Contracted a terrible illness
3) Needed financial assistance for an abused pet
4) Been abused
5) Had a pregnancy/baby

All of which, it turned out, never happened.

What seems to happen is this:
1) The person posts some announcement of the terrible thing, either as
themselves or using an assumed identity. Various facts and proof are
offered.
2) The audience or community responds with a show of emotional
support, grief, concern, and/or money or cards.
3) One or two people in the community respond with Um this doesn't add up.
4) The rest of the community attacks the skeptic, often viciously.
[Fortunately this didn't happen here, which is a real testament to the
caliber of the vlogging community.]
5) The truth is revealed, the person never existed, the death was a
hoax, there was no baby, etc. Jen, thank you for making this step
happen VERY quickly-- the longer the suspense goes on, the worse it
gets. Hopefully nobody had the opportunity to lose sleep over this.
6) The rest of the community splits between You should be ashamed for
manipulating us! and you should all be ashamed for attacking the
skeptic! (even though they did nothing to defend the skeptic,
either).
7) [Optional] The perpetrator tries to defend himself/herself with It
was a joke, or It was an experiment. My favorite is it was an
experiment because it's a completely unethical method of human
experimentation, and really obviously a cop-out from the backlash
against manipulating people.
8) Next time, all those people will be more skeptical of OMG, he's
DEAD! posts. Eventually, we will all be too jaded and skeptical to
continue to see each other as real human beings. Then, we'll fake our
own deaths/illnesses/pregnancies, because it doesn't really matter if
we hurt a couple hundred people-- they weren't real anyway.

Now, obviously these don't all relate to this particular case. But one
might ask: has Kevin never been in an online community before? Does he
not know about this kind of BS and how little it's appreciated or
tolerated on the net? And are we seriously still exploring this as
if it were somehow new? This isn't new-- people have been pulling this
crap since the first time two modems resolved their connection.

 Contract? What assumed contract? There is no contract. There is no contract whether it is
 video, text or photos. This is the internet. There can be no assumptions. I WISH there was
 an assumed contract between a blogger and their audience. I like to *think* that I have
 created such a space where what little audience I have feels that what I present is honest
 and real, but there's no way as an audience member that *I* assume that the blogger/
 vlogger I'm viewing has done the same. I don't think this makes me someone who lacks
 trust, I think this makes me a conscientous consumer. I take what I see at face value and if
 it ellicits an emotional response--then that's what it does. I rather hope that it does.

I said real, not truthful, factual, or non-fiction, because I think
something like Chasing Windmills, while explicitly fictional, hits at
truths and is real in its way. Perhaps because it is honest about
being fiction.

The contract between a blogger and audience is no more nor less than
that between any two people-- it's a social contract that, by an
large, you and I won't try to deceive each other. Not legally binding,
but socially binding. I inherently want to believe that what people
report as having happened to them, when they report it in a diary-like
format, is true. If they indicate it's non-factual, then I assume that
there's a core to the idea that somehow speaks to them, or that it's
the product of some source of creativity.

Look, I don't think a sense of community would stop someone from
posting the kind of
material that this guy posted. In fact, if it had instead been someone
from this list,
someone we all knew who posted this, and called it an
experiment or called it--look
out!-- art there would be a lot less outcry about it. It may have
even gotten heaped with
praise and called innovative. This wasn't BS: this was an assignment.

I think this was BS. My point was not that Kevin would have hesitated
to do this because of a sense of community or sense of belonging
(though given what Jen has said about how her students don't perceive
their audience, perhaps he would have). My point is that he didn't
have some lesson to learn by posting it, unless he has never ever been
in an online community before-- these stupid hoaxes crop up
frequently, in one place or another. And when it WAS someone from this
list last year, a lot of people (myself included) cried foul. And yes,
a lot of people cried art, too, but my personal opinion of it was
art ranks that excuse somewhere around it was a joke.

Anyway, I again want to thank Jen for dispelling this FAST, because it
makes a huge difference in how much impact it has on perceptions of
Kevin and his work. Of course, Kevin's been invited to join this list,
and he may be hesitant or defensive about doing so. Hopefully, he
won't take all this talk too personally-- after all, the student we're
talking about right now is no more real to us than the boy we saw die
on film. The Internet is the great dehumanizer, isn't it?

Here's what Kevin has going for him in terms of this community:
1) He doesn't seem to have set out to deceive anyone except the
hapless visitors to his vlog. He didn't promo the video here or hype
his death movie.
2) Jen posted QUICKLY to dispel the idea of his death, so the
speculation did not get out of hand.
3) We've all been young and foolish. Or old and foolish. In any case,
should he decide to join this community, I doubt he's going to get
cold-shouldered just because of this particular stunt (see item #1 for
the main reason why).
4) His production values of his work are decent, and we can all
appreciate well-edited videos.
5) A sizeable handful of people respect him more for this stupid prank
because they think of it as art, than they would have if he'd just
posted a video showing his real life.

You should also let them know that it's not you, it's them. In other

they're going to get those popups on other sites as well.

Then point them to a real web browser, like Firefox.

 What do you use to capture an image of your video so that you may display it

Re: [videoblogging] Embed vs. Pop-Up

2006-04-16 Thread Stephanie Bryant



On 4/16/06, Jeff Marquis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



Forgive my ignorance, as I'm sure many of you understand this better than I.

Verdi mentioned today his dislike of embedded quicktime movies, and the
issue of scrolling. Is the issue simply that viewing videos via a
pop-up is optimal to the embedded approach, so that you can move the
pop-up window around on the desktop to where you like? I hope
this doesn't sound like too stupid of a question, but I want to make
sure that I'm not missing something here.
See, I prefer the embedded approach, because I hate popups with the
passion of a thousand fiery suns. Even when I request them, I hate 'em.
They are one of the worst interface implementations in existence.

I do, however, have my vlog set to only show one day at a time-- it's
extremely rare for me to post more than one video in a given day, so
the scrolling issue just doesn't come up all that much, and I never
have multiple videos start playing at once (there is one thing you have
to click to play my videos-- the embedded play control... at least,
until the recent garbage).

I think an embed/object solution would be a very elegant way to do
vlogs. If Microsoft hadn't just broken what was already on crutches to
begin with.

On 4/10/06, Charles Iliya Krempeaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



Hello,This is my take on it. (And sorry, I should
probably just let Andreas respond) But isn't one of the things that
the CC licenses is about is re-distribution. Specifically, that
re-distribution is good. And that re-hosting is just one way
of accomplishing re-distribution.

My CC license says nothing about re-distribution.
Now, there are Creative Commons licenses that prevent
modifications. But I'm pretty sure transcoding will (legally)
fall under fair use regardless of what a Creative Commons license says.
My CC license prohibits derivs for commercial purposes. Veoh is a
commercial purpose. Ergo: no derivs for them. There are two things that
Veoh did to change these videos: changed their format and therefore the
quality of the video (very important part there), and excerpted them
for purposes of an unlicensed sale via the proprietary
download-our-viewe/become-a-member structure. It's fine to excerpt an
item for purpose of sale, but not if you don't have the right to sell
that item in the first place.
Other
than not giving attribution (and possibly by having ads on their site),
Veoh didn't do anything (else) wrong in terms of the videos licensed
under a Creative Commons license.

Well, see, that's the thing. You're talking as if everyone has the same
CC license, which they don't. Also, the presence of ads, the round of
funding they just completed, and their intent to make a profit make
Veoh a commercial entity. The lack of attribution is key as well-- I'm
already annoyed with all my photos being stolen and used without my
permission. Those are the reasons why it's not OK, in terms of MY
license, for them to do what they did.

argue that part of what they are doing is acting like a web
cache. And since Web Caching has held up in court, as being legal
over and over again, that their caching of video is also legal.
(Of course, this assumes that their software has been properly coded to
act as a web cache.)

That's not what they're doing, though.

They take videos in common file formats and convert them to another
file format (proprietary? Flash?), reposting an excerpt of the video in
flash, even if the original was not in Flash.

The quality of the video changes as a result of this re-encoding. That
makes this not the original work being cached, but the original work
being changed in two ways:
* Encoded to a different file format, with possible size change and/or quality change
* Excerpted for viewing on Veoh before downloading Veoh's
proprietary viewer and joining their community (the community which,
presumably, has helped them get funding).

The excerpting might be considered fair use, if not for the fact that
it's being used as a tool to sell the complete, derived/changed work
without permission (I'm not really sure if the fact that these sales
are for the Internet currency of ad views matters in a court of law,
but I'm guessing that it does). It's fair use to excerpt a work, and
it's fair use to excerpt for purposes of sale, but only if you have
permission to sell that work.

Changes like this are not caching. They are changing. Huge
difference. Also, web caches keep the complete original web page and
information: Veoh does not appear to be keeping important things like
the creator's NAME and WEBSITE information on these works.

While I think it's important that we all get upset about this-- after
all, if we're angry about this, then we should understand better why
other creators and license holders get angry over unwarranted use of
their works. However, please remember that, if you posted a clip from
CBS on your site, you would expect to FIRST receive a Cease and
Desist letter from CBS. Veoh seems willing to comply with such
requests from us. Once you have sent them such a letter, for them to
continue to display your site would be problematic.

The timing of Veoh's round of funding, coinciding with these 1600 or so
feeds appearing in their directory, is disturbing, because it does
imply some kind of monetary gain from the infringement, and it's not
terribly believable (to me, anyway) that 1600 RSS feeds were manually
entered by anyone, which gives the impression that Veoh has something more automated to do this. Auto-add, manual-remove?

But what's even more disturbing, which was touched on earlier but
hasn't really been discussed, is that this is not the first time that
Veoh has had to massively apologize for poor business practices here.
In August, someone scraped all the email addresses from the
Videoblogging list and used them to send out Veoh spam. Dmitry was
shocked and uninformed that the database had been used this way. This
makes me wonder if Dmitry is really this clueless about what his people
are doing, or if he's maintaining plausible deniability when it comes
to his marketing team. Whatever the case, there is definitely someone
in his company that does not understand ethics. That person, no matter
how effective they are, needs to be reigned in.

At that time, Veoh rectified the situation by wiping their database and
starting over. Since they were able to do it then, I think that's why
people are calling for them to do so now.

By the way, the mirroring of this Yahoo! group onto google groups has
basically compromised every email address of everyone participating
here, which is why I kind of wish the decision to mirror had actually
been discussed prior to implementation. I originally subscribed here
with an email address that i knew was spam-free. Since the mirroring
began, I've started receiving hundreds of spams a day, and a google
search shows that google groups is the only place where this email
address appears unmangled on the Internet.

Re: [videoblogging] Old Hi-8 analog to digital conversion?

2006-04-08 Thread Stephanie Bryant
My Sony Handicam takes Hi8 and Digital8. To get the Hi-8 tapes onto
the hard drive, I put them in the Handicam and import in iMovie like
normal, via firewire. The main difference from my standpoint is that
you have to manually press play on the camcorder: iMovie can't send
the play command for you.

I haven't noticed the same synching problem that Anne reports, though
I don't have a lot of movies in Hi-8.

 I empathize, and I appreciate that you wrote them directly, but how is
 all this different from the way netculture has treated musicians via
 MP3, or how the net has treated Hollywood via BitTorrent?

Aside from one or two of my very earliest vlog posts, which I think
I've removed, there aren't any uses of infringing music or movies on
my vlogs.

I don't own any illegal MP3s-- all my MP3s are ripped from CDs that I
bought, or were purchased on iTunes.

I don't own any illegal movies. In fact, I only downloaded BitTorrent
for the first time to document it for the book. (BTW: I think
videoblogging can legitimize BitTorrent, if it were done right).

Basically, it's not different, and I've consistently tried to come
down on the side of creators' rights, here and pretty much everywhere
online. I *am* a creator. My personal views on infringement are so
different from everyone else's my age, I'm constantly shocked at what
people think is okay. But then, I grew up in a family of writers and
lawyers-- it would have been very hard to not get a sense of why it's
wrong to copy a book or other media in that environment.

Not in the States. Copyright has nothing to do with whether or not

get monetary damages if there's money involved somewhere down the

And when speaking of financial data, that's a whole 'nother ball of potatoes.

Re: [videoblogging] How Much Time Do You Spend Editing?

2006-04-07 Thread Stephanie Bryant



I use iMovie, and I reuse my outro every post.

When it's just me, talking-head-style, it takes me about 10 minutes to
edit, and half of that is importing the video to iMovie. The
Toastmaster speeches are about the same, because there's no transitions
or anything, just a straight shot, then cut.

For more complex stuff, like the CBSBettas vlog, or Hiking and Camping
with Johnnyb, it takes me a couple of hours to sift through the footage
(usually more than an hour for each vlog) and narrow it down to the 7
minutes or so that I want to post, apply transitions, etc.

If I want music, that adds a LOT of time, because I'm not up on the
creative commons scene, and therefore when I think this should have
music! the music I think of that would be perfect is usually
restricted.
I used to vlog daily. I now vlog about once a week for my personal
vlog, and just about monthly for the CBS and Johnnyb vlogs (though
they've been delayed due to book-writing).

Re: [videoblogging] Veoh transcoding feeds?

2006-04-07 Thread Stephanie Bryant
Veoh has my whole feed in their service. They have ripped my videos to
their formats and are re-distributing them, using their own
permalinks.

From their own TOS:
 As explained above, Veoh does not permit copyright infringing
activities on the Veoh Service and reserves the right to terminate
access to the Veoh Service, and remove all User Materials posted, by
any persons who are found to be repeat infringers (i.e., persons found
to have uploaded copyright infringing User Material on more than two
occasions).

Here's the email I sent them:
Dear Veoh,

You are infringing on my license terms for Hold My Beer and Watch
This! (http://mortaine.blogspot.com).

I have a creative commons license on my videoblog. My license terms
are derivs-ok, non-commercial, and must-attribute. This means that if
you make a derivative work by ripping my videos to your format for
re-distribution, it must be for non-commercial purposes. From what I
can see, Veoh is a commercial entity. If this is not the case, please
send me your 501c status documentation.

However, you are still violating the must-attribute portion of my
videoblog's license, and that is not acceptable. You are displaying my
work on your website without attribution to the creator. Please create
a clear, unambiguous link-back to my website. Personally, I would
prefer it if you made the permalink space on your site as a permalink
to the vlog entries on my blog site. It's not as if you don't have
that data available, and doesn't seem like it would be too technically
difficult.

Failure to comply with my CC license means that you are infringing on
my copyright, something that is specifically prohibited in the Veoh
Terms of Service.

Please let me know how you are rectifying this situation.

Sincerely,
Stephanie Bryant

Re: [videoblogging] Veoh transcoding feeds?

2006-04-07 Thread Stephanie Bryant
Actually, they're outright infringing on my husband's videoblog.

For those who don't know, my husband is a VERY private person. It took
all my wheedling to get him to agree to be videotaped while hiking.
Getting him to release it under a CC license was a no-go.

So, his is cc-0, 100% copyrighted. No derivs, no usage, etc. It's on
blip, so blip gets to list and host the content, but that's it. Taking
it and attributing it-- still not OK for his.

Veoh's ripped it and posted it.

I don't want to be a meanie, but yeah. I think I'll give my lawyer
friend a call. We're working together on a vlogging law seminar-- I'm
sure he'd have fun with this one!

 Thank you for approving me for this group.

Welcome, Dmitry.

 I wanted all of you to know that I am reading these messages and hear
 you loud and clear.

I'm REALLY glad you're willing to come here and talk *with* us.

 In fact, we did consider simply creating a
 site where we would link to videoblogs, but felt that this may cause
 you to experience  significant costs.

I can only speak for myself, but this is absolutely not a problem fro
me yet, and if it were to become one, Veoh has a service available
that I could use if I wanted to host my videos. My videos are hosted
on a porn server-- we have plenty of bandwidth. I prefer all my videos
to be downloaded directly from my site-- my own awstats program puts
it all in one place for me.

 For those of you that will be attending VloggerCon 2006, you will have
 a chance to meet a few of us there, as we are going to be sponsoring
 the event, and will throw a party afterwards.

Excellent! I greatly look forward to meeting you!

 I encourage you to give us the benefit of the doubt that we are the
 good guys.  We will do ANYTHING to prove that to you, really.

I believe that you are responsive and want to do the right thing.
That's important.

I doubt there are many of us who can honestly say we've absolutely
never done an infringing videoblog, though most of us have learned
better and have developed a better sense of these nuances.

 I will personally make sure that anyone that wants their feed off of
 our system gets a quick response to their wishes.

I *do* need to ask you to remove http://johnnyb.blip.tv from Veoh, if
you haven't already. It's copyrighted, not even CC license, and the
host of the show isn't here for me to discuss with him if it's okay
(and besides, I know the answer already).

[videoblogging] Dangerous Vlog Challenge: Day 4

2006-04-05 Thread Stephanie Bryant
First, thank you Steve Garfield for finally solving the
RSS/enclosure/list issue:
http://streamdrive.com/?s=videobloggingweek2006

There's even a link to subscribe to the RSS feed, and yes, it works. YAY!

Now, for the dangerous vlog suggested inspiration for tomorrow, April 6, 2006:
Are you familiar with Alice in Wonderland? Vlog tomorrow's unbirthday
celebrations. Don't have an unbirthday party tomorrow? Throw one! A
silly song, some cake, and a deck of cards is all you need! Added
danger: do this at the cubicle farm. Double danger: do this in a
psychiatric ward.

Re: [videoblogging] FireAnt Windows Vs. FireAnt Mac

2006-04-04 Thread Stephanie Bryant



They work the same. I find FireAnt Mac to be easier but that's mainly
because it's more familiar (there are some things that drive me batty
about it, just as there are some things in FireAnt Windows that drive
me batty).

They are both well-supported. I typically get a response within 24
hours if I have a question or concern, and they are both being actively
developed.

I assume you're asking because you have a Windows and a Mac and don't
know which one to use for watching vlogs. Here's a tip: Windows Media
Player is no longer supported on the Mac. So if you subscribe to one of
the few WMV vlogs out there, you should use FireAnt PC, at least until
microsoft pulls its head out of its well, you know.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Week of Vlogging Dangerously/VlogWeek2006

2006-04-03 Thread Stephanie Bryant
The sign up thing is just so I can add a list of vlogs to an RSS
feed. Yes, it'd be great if everyone tagged their videos. I
volunteered to collect everyone's videoblogs into one place so we
could all watch them. You don't have to sign up. It's optional, like
the dangerously part is optional or, for that matter, tagging is
optional.

On 4/3/06, Andy Carvin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Please add me to the list. But rather than asking people to announce
 themselves and sign up, wouldn't it suffice to just have everyone
 tag their videos for technorati, then collect a list of contributors
 from that? I'm just concerned that asking people to register
 themselves is adding an extra layer to this, and could exclude people
 who just happened to miss your email, like I almost did.

  The Week of Vlogging Dangerously/Vlog Week 2006
 
  OK, I realize it's already tomorrow in some parts of the world, so
  let's get started!
 
  A lot of folks contributed time, space, announcements... it's turning
  into a bit of a hodge-podge of leadership. Nonetheless, I said I'd
  compile stuff, and I am doing so.
 
  DATES:
  April 3-9 Monday through Sunday. Post a vlog each day for all 7 days.
  If you come in late, post a vlog each day and maybe catch up on the
  weekend. If you stop vlogging halfway through the week, catch up on
  the weekend. No excuses!
 
  BLOG:
  http://videobloggingweek2006.blogspot.com
  Not sure if this is just announcements or videos. Steve?
 
  BANNERS:
  http://michaelverdi.com/vbw06
  http://vlogmatic.com/vbweek2006.htm
 
  TAGGING:
  It will make the project much easier if you tag your videos, at
  *least* with a Technorati tag.
 
  Peter and Devlon: can we set up a (public?) Mefeedia feed with the
  listed participants as the to be watched list? Is that possible? If
  so, then folks could tag them themselves while watching in Mefeedia,
  and it would set up the RSS feed quickly for me (another vlogger's
  helpfully given a possible space for the public feed as well).
 
  On Technorati:
  http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006
 
  To tag your video, add this to your post:
  a href=http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006; rel=tag
  videobloggingweek2006/a
 
  [Yes, there are a gazillion ways to do this. This is one of them.]
 
  If you like, you could also add a vloggingdangerously tag, if you're
  specifically taking risks this week for your vlog.
 
  On MeFeedia;
  http://mefeedia.com/tags/videobloggingweek2006/
 
  To tag your video:
  Sign in to Mefeedia.com
  Subscribe to your own feed.
  Go to Watch to view your video queue.
  Click a video in your queue.
  Click Tag this to tag the video.
  Type videobloggingweek2006 in the field and click the TAG! button.
 
  Add yourself to Eyespot:
  http://eyespot.com/groups/videobloggingweek2006
  [I'm not sure what the value is to this; if you don't add yourself
  this week, is it OK to do so next week?]
 
  DANGEROUS!
 
  During the week, I'll email the dangerous ideas to the list.
  Everyone is welcome to contribute suggestions. No one is required to
  follow any of the dangerous suggestions, or even to vlog dangerously.
  You determine for yourself what is danger. The idea is to take a
  risk of some kind with your vlog. Perhaps that's a risk that you take
  personally and then videoblog, or perhaps it's a risk that you take
  involving your vlog.
 
  First dangerous idea, inspired by Naked Verdi and others: Vlog your
  daily shower or bath. How much you show or don't is up to you. If you
  vlog yourself x-rated, PLEASE provide some kind of disclaimer. Cause,
  you know, some people have small children or weak stomaches. ;)
 
  CURRENT PARTICIPANTS:
  We'll have a single page feed for all of these, as soon as it's set up
  (working on it). If you're participating but absolutely don't want to
  be in a web-based feed, let me know.
 
  Also, please check to make sure you are listed and I have your
  videoblog's URL and your name spelled correctly. If I missed you, it
  was not a deliberate slight, so speak up, please.

Monique, there are other dangerous ideas you can do, ones that
aren't risky for your business or reputation. Consider also some
technically dangerous vlogs, like use a commercially-biased product
placement in your vlog. Dangerous in the vlogosphere, but utterly
tame to your friends and neighbors.

On 4/3/06, gottadiva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
  Honestly, though, finding dangerous material that can be done around
  the constraints of a dayjob is pretty tricky.  What other ideas have

 I totally agree. I own a small business in a small town where everyone
 knows everyone. So, my 'dangerous' vlogging will probably be fairly tame.

 But, if we think outside of the box we can come up with fun stuff. For
 example if I were to sing and dance that would definitely be
 dangerous, as I would look like a total AZZ for the whole world to see!

When: April 3-9 (to get a full weekend in at the end)
Why: because it's fun!
How: Post to the videoblogging group under this subject line that
you're going to participate, with a link to your vlog. I'll try

up an RSS webpage with all the week of vlogs.
   
Anything else?
Since it's the week of vlogging dangerously, try to do something
risky
or different from your routine and vlog it. Maybe it's talking
 to a
stranger, or sneaking a camcorder into a store with NO VIDEO OF
THIS
PREMISES ALLOWED. Maybe it's subverting the dominant paradigm, or
perhaps it's risking your very soul by buying into the paradigm
for a
day.
   
You decide the file format, server, etc. This is just a
 challenge to
get your out there and videoblogging!
   
What if I fall behind?
Post twice the next day.

 I am trying to put the whole thing past me... Can YOU?

Well, gosh. I was trying to. I decided to leave well enough alone
after what appeared to be a somewhat sincere change of heart and
attempt to engage. I decided that it would be good to step back and
let the discussion go. I will admit that I probably shouldn't have
replied to Ron's message, or should have replied privately, because I
was actually upset over something completely unrelated at the time and
unable to just drop it.

But then this vitriol.

Anyway, I've had to cut out a lot of my initial reaction to this-- the
last paragraph will explain why.

 Stephanie,
 You are the epitomy of hipocracy... You potray me to be some evil
 martketeer, yet you are marketing a product that anybody with half a brain
 could figure out for free.

It's a for Dummies book. If the folks reading it wanted to figure it
out by digging around the Internet, they would, and in many cases do
anyway. But they also would like to have someone else dig around for
it and print the information for them in a handy package. I don't hold
a lot of illusions about my book, here.  It's not Hemingway, for god's
sake.

 I sure it will make a wonderful refence three
 years from now when every point in the book is moot.

Computer books don't have a long shelf life. That's not really news.

 While I am on the subject of your useless banter... who died and left you
 boss of this group? Who asked you to determine what this group is, what it
 likes and dislikes? The difference between spam and not spam... it is all
 YOUR opinion you have no right to speak for a group of over 2000...

[Careful, Jason. Godwin is watching]

I believe in the post to which you are replying, I even said I do not
personally have a problem with... Actually, I think there's only one
point where I didn't preface my comment by stating that it was my
opinion, but since the previous remark had been stated as opinion, I
figured it was obvious.

By the way, I believe we both have supporters here. I'm sure you've
been emailed privately with as many hang in there''s, as I've
received go get 'em's, so perhaps neither of us can claim to speak
for more than ourselves?

 your book is probably great... and on impulse
 I probably would have bought it, I certainly would veer completely in the
 opposite direction... at this point I might even burn it on site.

Well, books aren't sacred. Actually, I secretly hope you hold a great
big book-burning party for it. I could use the press.

 Oh and for the record, I emailed Steve Garfield from his vlog long before I
 knew he was even a member here or who any members here were to be honest.

As stated earlier: I'm sorry I even mentioned that. I did not,
however, feel it necessary to drag Steve into this by name.

 Thanks to those who understand, and a big fuck you to those who offend or
 are offended, I am just tired of this shit and want to move on.

Then move on already.

 I should have vlogged this... by the way hold my beer while I go vomit, I'll
 be back in a moment.

Yeah, you probably should have vlogged it. That would have been
interesting. Not unique, but interesting.

Jason, I will make you a deal, if you've even read this far, and I'm
going to ask that everyone else who's engaged you adversarially in
this discussion to consider the same deal. I'm going to stick to
posting about vlogweek more or less until after the 9th. And I won't
reply to anything you say, and you won't reply to anything I say (erm,
though if you're in vlogweek, let's just keep it civil), for a 10 day
cooling off period (of course you could reply to this, cause I know
you want the last word and anyway, how can you accept a truce if you
don't reply?). I know I, for one, would rather cool off and come back
and meet on less hostile footing in a week and a half than have to
muddle through more flamewars.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: VLOGGERS UNITE

2006-04-02 Thread Stephanie Bryant



On 4/2/06, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


Interesting thread.Something that drives me crazy about this group is that there is some serious confusion about what is and is not spam.
When
someone posts about a vlog they are proud of, some people tend to think
that it is spam. I actually apologized for spamming the group when I
posted a piece that I was proud of (thanks for the feedback for all of
you that viewed and reviewed it). I think that is a problem.
I do not personally have a problem with:
* An introduction post the first time someone puts up their videoblog
* A wow this was tough/fun/interesting when there's something GENUINELY cool about a recent vlog they posted.
* A post introducing a videoblogging-related product or service. These
annoy me if they are the only thing the person posts, however; learn to
contribute.

I do have a problem with:
* A post every day or so with the same information posted yesterday.
Namely check out my vlog. Hey, if we didn't go see it
yesterday, what makes you think today is different?
* A post EVERY TIME someone posts a vlog entry. Sorry-- each individual
vlog is probably not that unique. Cool and important to you, sure. But
not enough to post every time you update. This isn't a notification list.
* People who use this group as an experiment in their marketing plans.
I can go on and on about experimentation in marketing, but the fact is,
Jason either lied about that, or is a very unethical marketer. I think
we know the latter is true, at least. There's a very limited set of
cases where it's ethical to experiment on a group without their
knowledge or permission. This isn't one of them.
* People who also privately email individual members of the group to
ask them why they haven't come to look at their vlogs. From email I
have received, Jason may have done this, as well, basically using the
videoblogging group as a source for email addresses to follow-up with
his marketing garbage.

I do agree that RSS is not a promotional tool per se, in the sense that
it doesn't get more people to see your vlog. However, RSS makes it
easier to get your vlog into certain search and index sites.
I
notice that most of the people who responded with angst in this thread
have pretty good name recognition within this community. I am not
attacking anyone, but I think that those of you who are established
Vloggers don't really see the problems for getting exposure for a new
Vlog.
This is very, very true. The core vloggers will, whether they like it
or not, be seen as cliqueish as more videobloggers enter the vlogging
world. That's not who they are, and not what they're about-- in fact,
it's hard to find a more enthusiastic, engaging, and inclusive group of
folks in the high tech world. But the nature of group dynamics is such
that this is a nearly-inevitable side effect of becoming the experts.

Exposure for vlogs
is a problem, and it gets bigger everyday. Those problems are
compounded when, in a group about video blogging, asking for people to
check out your vlog is spam.
It's not spam. It's spam when it's every 12 hours.

Oh yea, we just signed the paperwork for our new dog training studio, boutique and art gallery.
snarkI
will be posting video soon, and if it is good enough I will 'spam' the
group with the info, mainly in the hopes that local vlogging hero Josh
Leo will watch it and come out and vlog about it. Then maybe all of you
will get a chance to see our new place. /snark

See, I don't see this as spammy at all, because you contributed
valuable thoughts and perspective to the discussion. There *has* to be
a high signal-to-noise ratio on this list, or it will collapse.

[videoblogging] Week of Vlogging Dangerously/VlogWeek2006

2006-04-02 Thread Stephanie Bryant
The Week of Vlogging Dangerously/Vlog Week 2006

OK, I realize it's already tomorrow in some parts of the world, so
let's get started!

A lot of folks contributed time, space, announcements... it's turning
into a bit of a hodge-podge of leadership. Nonetheless, I said I'd
compile stuff, and I am doing so.

DATES:
April 3-9 Monday through Sunday. Post a vlog each day for all 7 days.
If you come in late, post a vlog each day and maybe catch up on the
weekend. If you stop vlogging halfway through the week, catch up on
the weekend. No excuses!

BLOG:
http://videobloggingweek2006.blogspot.com
Not sure if this is just announcements or videos. Steve?

BANNERS:
http://michaelverdi.com/vbw06
http://vlogmatic.com/vbweek2006.htm

TAGGING:
It will make the project much easier if you tag your videos, at
*least* with a Technorati tag.

Peter and Devlon: can we set up a (public?) Mefeedia feed with the
listed participants as the to be watched list? Is that possible? If
so, then folks could tag them themselves while watching in Mefeedia,
and it would set up the RSS feed quickly for me (another vlogger's
helpfully given a possible space for the public feed as well).

On Technorati:
http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006

To tag your video, add this to your post:
a href=http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006; rel=tag
videobloggingweek2006/a

[Yes, there are a gazillion ways to do this. This is one of them.]

If you like, you could also add a vloggingdangerously tag, if you're
specifically taking risks this week for your vlog.

On MeFeedia;
http://mefeedia.com/tags/videobloggingweek2006/

To tag your video:
Sign in to Mefeedia.com
Subscribe to your own feed.
Go to Watch to view your video queue.
Click a video in your queue.
Click Tag this to tag the video.
Type videobloggingweek2006 in the field and click the TAG! button.

Add yourself to Eyespot:
http://eyespot.com/groups/videobloggingweek2006
[I'm not sure what the value is to this; if you don't add yourself
this week, is it OK to do so next week?]

DANGEROUS!

During the week, I'll email the dangerous ideas to the list.
Everyone is welcome to contribute suggestions. No one is required to
follow any of the dangerous suggestions, or even to vlog dangerously.
You determine for yourself what is danger. The idea is to take a
risk of some kind with your vlog. Perhaps that's a risk that you take
personally and then videoblog, or perhaps it's a risk that you take
involving your vlog.

First dangerous idea, inspired by Naked Verdi and others: Vlog your
daily shower or bath. How much you show or don't is up to you. If you
vlog yourself x-rated, PLEASE provide some kind of disclaimer. Cause,
you know, some people have small children or weak stomaches. ;)

CURRENT PARTICIPANTS:
We'll have a single page feed for all of these, as soon as it's set up
(working on it). If you're participating but absolutely don't want to
be in a web-based feed, let me know.

Also, please check to make sure you are listed and I have your
videoblog's URL and your name spelled correctly. If I missed you, it
was not a deliberate slight, so speak up, please.

 Secondly, my spamming was a marketing test. I had 27 people go to my
 site this month from this group.

I was going to leave a related message in my drafts box, but I'm going
to post it now, because of what you've said here. Frankly, I think you
should be banned for spamming. It's unacceptable and you show no
remorse for annoying over 3000 people.

 The truth is VERY simple. Groups are indexed immediatly on the servers
 of yahoo and google. Google pirates yahoos groups. Go ahead... you
 will see all your posts on Google Groups, and a bunch that are google
 specific. Strange really.

The Yahoo group is cross-posted to a google group-- someone set that
up about six months ago. Again, ignorance has made you look foolish.

 My market test proves that people do not come here to find videos...
 not the general public anyway, so there needs to be a group for
 them... do you know of one?

*eyeroll* Of course they don't. This is the VIDEOBLOGGING DISCUSSION
GROUP. Not the FIND VIDEOS SEARCH ENGINE. For that, you go to a
search engine. Right tool for the job.

 For you, the work will be simple...join the group, post a link to your
 vlog evertime you have a new one. Thats all. No discussions. I will do
 the rest.

No. I have an RSS feed to promote my vlog. Feel free to subscribe to
it. There's even an email subscription option.

 I will never abandon this group, and this is not an alternative to it,
 it is the marketeing side of it for all vloggers...

I don't think you know anything about Internet marketing. If you did,
you would know the difference between a discussion group and an
audience for spam.

 On SEO and optimization.. I do not need a website or books, please
 humor me... I do work in this area, not just hokey doke stuff... I
 have large clients... Campaigns I manage spend over $20,000 per month.
 I need to know what I am doing. My own personal campaigns run into the
 lower thousands... and I make money!

You do not know what you're doing. You may work in Internet marketing
and have a lot of rich clients, but that does not mean that you know
anything about marketing videoblogs or about talking to technical
people. Every person in this group is an early adopter for technology.
They are NOT the people you typically market to. Your ignorance of
that simple premise has resulted in you shooting yourself in the foot.

 LASTLY...whew... I plan on building a website list of vlogs... TV with
 channels. There are many lists on the web, but there are better ways
 to do things... This site will cater to daily shows... and will be
 marketed heavily in this new group. It will also be developed so
 people can find what the're looking for... blog video is the hot
 keyword today, maybe it will be vodcast tomorrow, either way thats
 what people search to watch vlogs.

I look forward to seeing your website of vlogs enter an already
crowded market and do poorly because you lack subtlety.

 Peace OUT!

How about just OUT.

[videoblogging] Week of Vlogging Dangerously

2006-03-31 Thread Stephanie Bryant
[I like the idea of vlog week, so here's me taking some initiative]

The Week of Vlogging Dangerously:

Who: YOU!
What: 1 week (7 days) of posting a videoblog post every day.
When: April 3-9 (to get a full weekend in at the end)
Why: because it's fun!
How: Post to the videoblogging group under this subject line that
you're going to participate, with a link to your vlog. I'll try to set
up an RSS webpage with all the week of vlogs.

Anything else?
Since it's the week of vlogging dangerously, try to do something risky
or different from your routine and vlog it. Maybe it's talking to a
stranger, or sneaking a camcorder into a store with NO VIDEO OF THIS
PREMISES ALLOWED. Maybe it's subverting the dominant paradigm, or
perhaps it's risking your very soul by buying into the paradigm for a
day.

You decide the file format, server, etc. This is just a challenge to
get your out there and videoblogging!

What if I fall behind?
Post twice the next day.

Will you help me?
I'll post a Vlogging Dangerously suggestion each day, in case you need
inspiration. I hope you don't, though! We're all creative people! Go
out and have fun!

  First of all, wasn't 3rd - 9th the original plan?
 Doesn't that start next Monday? (so I'm not understanding how this is any
 different from the orginal plan - I'm thinking it's not)

It was, in fact. I'm... not really sure what Josh wants, aside from a
non-dangerously vlog.

Josh: you don't have to make your vlog dangerous. It was just a
suggested theme.

 ... anyway, I would also like more notice ... I have lots of stuff to do
 next week ... I usually spend a skizzillion years editing each video, so how
 could I possibly do one each day?

 ... in other words ... I'm in! ... woo hoo!

Yay!

I guess the shorter lead time means you'll be giving us a more raw,
unedited version of yourself, eh?

 But the question is: where do we post our content? It would be nice
 if we could all post it ourselves on the same blog... I know it
 possible to program WordPress to create accounts, but I don't know if
 you can do joint posts on blogspot... anyone know?

Like videoblogging week 2004 and videoblogging week 2005 you just post 
video on your own blog. Through the wonder of the web people will be able 
to follow all the videos through tagging services. Just tag your video 
videobloggingweek2006 at technorati and everyone will be able to follow 
along.

To tag a post for videoblogging week at technorati paste the below into 
your blog post:

a href="" href="http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006" target="_blank" >http://technorati.com/tag/videobloggingweek2006 
rel=tagvideobloggingweek2006/a

Pure magic!Don't forget to tag in mefeedia as well



 I guess that means I'm in (only problem is that I'm really busy! I
 wish this wasn't so last minute!!!),

Last minute? Pfft. :o)That makes it more fun, spur of the moment! It's 'dangerous' ;)

OK, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we lose an hour.

(Fall back: set the clock back by 1 hour, thereby gaining an extra
hour. Spring forward: set the clock forward an hour, thereby
skipping an hour of the day.)

 Actually it was set for 90 min but I guess GMT changed last
   weekend so
 it started an hour early in the states.
   
GMT doesn't change, but Europe did switch to summer time last
   weekend. I
don't know how the Open University is set up, but if they claim to
   use GMT
while really using european summer time confusion will be total.

 hi all

 it appears that tonight's video conference got scheduled for only 30
 minutes

 i must have slipped up on the form as i normally set them  for 90 min

 sorry for the short one tonight

 maybe one of the other flashmeeting admins can schedule another one for
 tonight if you like (i can't access the form right now)

 otherwise we will return to the usual 90 min length next time
