Hi Simon, Sounds like you are making a series. blip.tv can help. 1. by default, show the youtube version of a video Upload once to blip.tv and have blip.tv post a version to youtube for you. Embed that on your blog. 2. create an itunes-friendly rss feed so people can find and subscribe to the video podcast via itunes. Upgrade to the pro version of blip.tv and blip.tv will create an iTunes friendly version for you and make an itunes friendly feed. You can submit that feed to feedburner if you want tracking 3. when an iphone or ipad or other device without flash views the site, show an html5 version of the H.264 video not sure how you can do this without embedding the blip.tv player on your site.

[videoblogging] My book was released on Amazon.com today
Hi, Just wanted to let you know that my book, Get Seen, was released on Amazon.com today. My first post to this group was on June 6th, 2004. The first message in this group was June 1, 2004. Mine was the 6th message. It's been a wild ride from 2004 to 2010. I remember the first Vloggercon in NYC in 2005 and the second in SF in 2006. My book is a nice how to guide for people starting out in online video. For some of us who have been putting video on blogs wince 2004, it's seems so easy now. When we started there was no YouTube, we were worried that our videos would get popular, because that would cost us money. Now we've got a myriad of free hosting solutions for have lots of great features. But there still are and will always be people starting out. That's where my book comes in. In the book I talk about choosing a camera, getting good sound and lighting, and how to conduct interviews. Also, how to edit and post, and how to go live. I've interviewed a number of Yahoo! videoblogging group members. I made a post today called, Where To Buy Get Seen. It's a very simple post showing where people can order the book. It's at: http://bit.ly/buy-getseen In addition to that the book has a website, http://stevegarfield.com/getseen Over there I'm posting video interviews that I made for the book and there are discussion forums for people who read the book who might have some questions. So that's it. Just wanted to drop by and give you guys an update.

[videoblogging] Maintaining social cohesion
I love what Cory Doctrow says about Twitter and Facebook, reminds me of what people said about videoblogging... Here are some suggested things to say if you want to sound like an idiot when you talk about social media: It's inconsequential most of the verbiage on Twitter, Facebook and the like is banal blather Yes, it certainly is. The reason for that is that most of it is social grooming messages passed between friends and family members as a way of maintaining social cohesion. The meaning of the messages isn't u look h4wt dude or wat up wiv you dawg? That's merely the form. The meaning is: I am thinking of you, I care about you, I hope you are well. I don't call my parents in Canada and recount the latest additions to my daughter's vocabulary because they need to know that the kid can say elephant and potty now; I call them up to say, all is well with your son and his family, and you are in my heart, and I love you. Criticizing the banality of Facebook conversation is as trite and ignorant as criticising people who talk about the weather. There's a reason we say Did you sleep well? at breakfast and How was your weekend? when we turn up to the office on Monday (and it's not that we care about the weekend or the rest).

[videoblogging] Re: BETA TESTERS?
Hi Amani. You know I think you're doing a great job by sharing yor knowledge on your site. ONe thing you could do is add more text to your video posts. In this example you are explaining how to use a pro mic, but the reader needs to view hte video to learn how. http://www.myurbanreport.com/2009/12/video-production-123s/ If you add text to describe what's in your video, it will make the video easier to be found via Google. You also call it a 'profesional microphone,' I'd call it an 'electro-voice RE20 professional microphone' and link THAT back to electro-voice. After writing the review, I'd drop the company an email to let them know it's out there. It they are on twitter, send them a message there. By doing hte interview, you're helping people learn more about the product and it's valuable. In my case, I bought all my equipment my self and blogged about how I was using it to make video. In the beginning when we were all learning, when I posted each video, I also explained how I made it. Even recently I purchased a number of new cameras and microphone to test for my book, Get Seen. It was hard contacting each of the companies and some don't even have a presence on social media sites. For those products that I had to have in the book, I borrowed a product, or tried one from a friend. When I saw that no one had done a review of the iPod touch when it added a video recorder, I went to the Apple Store nad did a review there and took product shots. The most last thing I added to the book was a review of the new Windows Media Maker that runs on Windows 7. I learned it and made a movie and posted it while at the local Microsoft center for a presentation. Once you have a history of being someone who can write well and review products, companies shold want to contact you.

[videoblogging] A Mashup of Conferences? June 24-27 at UMass Amherst
Hi, Are people interested in having a Vloggercon in 2009? I've got an idea. A Mashup of Conferences? June 24-27 at UMass Amherst Bill Densmore out at UMass has reserved the campus for June 24-27 for a conference. 'A Mashup of Conferences' We were talking about calling it something like 'A Mashup of Conferences' and inviting lots of people to co-host their conferences there that weekend. In 2006 he ran Media Giraffe conference on journalism, MGP2006. TOPICS and GROUPS I'd already thought of the possibility of having a Podcamp Amherst out there. He's going to corral the media and education people. What do you think about getting a bunch of Social Media people to join in? I'd help in getting multi media/video production people... Kind of like a pirate ship conference. In addition to social media, video, podcasting I was also thinking about Etsy crafts people, moped riders, and photographers, like that... a wide range... Also, it'd be fun to schedule hikes and social events around it too. LOGISTICS COSTS Ballpark cost estimates are: Meeting rooms: $6K A/V: $2K UMASS has tons of free WiFi LODGING Dorms would be available too for a very reasonable rate as well as hte Campus Center Hotel. Campus Center Hotel FOOD Food would be available at campus center for people to buy. TRAVEL Traveling to UMass BTW, AMTRAK runs to Amherst DC - NY - HARTFORD - AMHERST - MONTREAL LOOKING FOR IDEAS I'm looking for what your ideas on this might be...

Hi Jay and everyone else on the list... I often tell the story of seeing your comment on my vlog that asked me to come over and join this list. 2004 It was such a huge help back in 2004 when we were just trying to figure out the best ways to host videos... You are right that it was al about learning how to videoblog back then. We were all watchiing everyone's videos. Think about that. Everyone on the list was watching every single video on the internet. ;-) Well, every single video blog... It was technically challenging... so t here were fewer people doing it. Links Clutter up the list with posts of here's a link to my most recent video of...: No way. We had RSS for that.. It's weird to think that it was frowned upon for people to point to their new videos. We were all watching everyone's new videos any way so cluttering up the list with pointers wasn't something that was done... Now everything has changed. We need pointers. They now pop up on twitter and friend feed. I always wanted FireAnt to let me see the popular videos that my friends were watching... Now it seems like we are getting that organically from a number of sources. Vlog It still irritates me when I hear someone say they posted a new vlog. They actually made a new 'vlog post'...not created a whole new blog to hold videos... but I'm getting over it... and understand that the video itself has become the vlog. YouTube It's also funny to look back at how we dismissed YouTube because it didn't allow access to the original QuickTime file or support RSS 2.0 with enclosures... Oops. Guess we missed the boat on that one. Exploring I'm still very excited about video on the web... New things I'm exploring are: - Live streaming via cellphone with Qik and other platforms. - Live broadcasting with Mogulus - Video conversations with Seesmic - HD video ( still wondering what camera to get ) I'm also still working on Citizen Journalism with Rocketboom and TheUptake... Along with that I'm looking into how all these technologies can be adapted by TV... So I think this is still a great place to talk about new technologies and new content... I surely couldn't have shared the above in under 140 characters... Meeting in Person It's always fun to see other videobloggers at events like SXSW too...

We spent a year or so talking about the business of videoblogging. it was interesting seeing all the money pouring into new companies offering videoblogging services. its still amazing to think that Youtube sold for 1.6 billion dollars. that excitement has died down. the hype is stale.

I posted this on the post at my blog and on Veoh. David Howell asked some questions about the interview so I posted some clarifications on the Videoblogging list. Here they are: On January 1, 2004 I decided to figure out how to put video on a blog and did it. I was unaware of anyone else having ever tried to do it. I'd never seen video on a blog. Adrian Miles was experimenting in 2003 and you'll see a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videoblog#_note-AdrianMilesFirstVlog;his entry on Wikipedia./a In the interview I am just talking about January 1, 2004 and earlier. Lots of people started videoblogs after that date and continue posting video to blogs. I'm referring to the fact that I personally was able to get FCP, a Mac laptop and GL/2 prior to 1/1/04, and have the technology in house and available to produce video on a blog. I also started a a href=http://stevegarfield.blogs.com/videopodcast/2004/11/videopodcast_20.html;vid eopodcast/a blog to experiment in including video in RSS 2.0 with media enclosures for distribution.

Re: [videoblogging] FireAnt acquired by Odeo
Ah memories. It was an amazing time. being able to watch everyone else's video back then. Every... single... video... that everyone else made. Working with Daniel Salber on FireAnt for the Mac was a great experience. New features and bug fixes that I suggested were always implemented quickly. Being able to work that closely with a developer was lots of fun. Sadly the Macintosh development didn't keep up with the PC development and I ended up dropping FireAnt and moving to Miro. During this period, my Mac crashed and I ended up starting over and subscribing to fewer feeds. What's happening now is that I only subscribe to about 13 RSS 2.0 feeds with media enclosures. Others I subscribe to, but go watch online. I find many new videos via Twitter, Email, IM and Facebook. Another thing I frequently talked to Jay about was getting the ability to be able to see what others using Fireant were subscribed to, and beyond that, see what videos they liked or recommended. That feature would have been cool. Good luck with Odeo Josh. I'm interested in seeing what happens. --Steve http://stevegarfield.com On Sep 14, 2007, at 5:56 AM, Joshua Kinberg wrote: When we first launched ANTs Not TV at Vloggercon in January 2005, there were about 20 active videobloggers we knew each of them personally and worked with most of them to create those magical RSS feeds with enclosures. It was amazing to see all these video channels updating over time and to watch them in a unified experience. There was nothing else like it. It was clear that something powerful was happening. It was a new kind of television, and yet it was not like TV at all it was open to anyone and the possibilities seemed endless. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Ryanne Jay on teevee
That is why we have videoblogs. Ironic. ABC would have been so smart to allow us to link to and comment on and embed that segment. Have they done it and not publicized it? Or do they have a show about videoblogging that doesn't actually videoblog the content they are broadcasting? I think #2 is the correct answer. Here's the info page for the show: http://abcnews.go.com/icaught/story?id=3580612page=1 No videos.

Re: [videoblogging] video blogging / facebook / myspace / you tube
Hi Daryl, Good points. You don't have to set up your own blog. One reason you might want to have your own blog though is to give you flexibility for the future. You might want to host your videos elsewhere. Also, you might want to allow people to subscribe to your YouTube videos which would allow them to be delivered to their desktop, instead of making them go to YouTube to watch. Some people like that. I just set that up for my Mom's I Can't Open It videoblog and explain how on this post: http://offonatangent.blogspot.com/2007/09/me-and-my-miro.html The thing I just realized it that you can set up a method for people to subscribe to YouTube's Flash videos. It hadn't occurred to me that you could do this before. --Steve http://stevegarfield.com On Sep 13, 2007, at 9:58 AM, Daryl Urig wrote: well maybe i am just not getting it. But it looks to me like people want to stay in youtube and surf videos.

Why would anyone want to come to my own website, when they have these nice options? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
