Actually, Stephanie, we do exactly what you're talking about at
http://wap.xicast.com (you can browse to it with your mobile phone). 

What we have found more than anything else is a lack of usability with
the phones themselves. Most users don't appear to be familiar with
how to browse websites not provided directly by their phone carrier's
menu. Depending on the carrier and model, it could be 5 to 7 menu
items to manually enter in a URL. That's just too clunky for most users.

Which is why that's not the ideal solution I mentioned. As you've
noticed, WAP works great-- but only if you get in the cell phone
company's pocket.

The easiest way to get it to people is to have the videos emailed or
MMS'ed to their phones-- from the end user standpoint, that's the
easiest way to get video on the phone.

BTW: Does XiCast use LifeBlog? And can you email some press kit info
to me? I would like to mention XiCast in my book, and since I just
submitted edits to the relevant chapter, it may be too late, but I'd
like to see if I can slip it in there, or possibly write it up for the
book-related website.

You're right: there's no successful AND free implementation of a MMS
push model that delivers content for free at this time. The pull
model as I described does work with the obvious technical caveats.

I actually considered modifying our current subscription notifications
 to include an attached video file. Works fine with small mobile
phone videos (usually tiny .3gp files) but a bit uncomfortable for the
large high-def WMV  quicktime files found in some of the blogs.

Thanks in advance for the potential mention of XiCast in your book. 
I've been meaning to contact you regarding your amazon promotions. 
I'll drop you an email later this evening. And, no, we don't use
anyone else's blog software. We wrote our own as it has been the only
way to integrate some of the messaging systems we created to
incorporate the mobile phone messaging.

Hi Stephanie,
I believe, if you read the TOS, they are talking about downloading, 
where the downloader
can't lawfully redistribute work they or their partners own. 
Presumably, you would be a partner, if you created and uploaded 
something, that they then redistributed. For the act of distribution 
and reformatting, they would take some, and pass on the rest to you.

The TOS you mention here that is for downloaders and general users of 
their services:
http://www.mynumo.com/general.php?inc=tac

is different than the one here which is for content owners who upload 
stuff to sell:
http://www.mynumo.com/general.php?inc=signup
(the link is _javascript_.. with a popup window.. really kind of silly 
for a contract they'd like to be binding.. if there was a dispute.. 
it's likely a judge or mediator would agree that the popup nature of it 
meant that it was a very one sided contract, that was hard to link to 
or save in a reasonable way, and easy to overlook while thinking the 
TOS you sent to the list was the only TOS, so he would likely side 
against MyNuMo if he thought it was a onesided contract -- but 
nonetheless, you'll have to click it to get to this second TOS).

This other TOS for uploaders says:

 7.1 Mutual Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant 
to MyNuMo.com and MyNuMo.com represents and warrants to you: (i) that 
you or it has the full power and authority to enter into and perform 
under these TAC, (ii) the execution and performance of your or its 
obligations under these TAC do not constitute a breach of or conflict 
with any other agreement or arrangement by which you or it is bound, 
and (iii) these TAC are a legal, valid and binding obligation of the 
party entering into these TAC, enforceable in accordance with their 
terms and conditions.

7.2 By You. You represent and warrant to MyNuMo.com that, in your use 
of the MyNuMo.com Service, you: (i) will not infringe the copyright, 
trademark, patent, trade secret, right of privacy, right of publicity 
or other legal right of any third party and (ii) will comply with all 
applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You further represent and 
warrant to MyNuMo.com that: (i) there are no claims, demands or any 
form of litigation pending, or to the best of your knowledge, 
threatened with respect to any of your Content; (ii) MyNuMo.com will 
not be required to make any payments to any third party in connection 
with its use of your Content, except for the expenses that MyNuMo.com 
incurs in providing the MyNuMo.com Service; (iii) the use of any 
instructions, formulae, recommendations, or the like contained in your 
Content will not cause injury to any third party; and (iv) your Content 
does not contain viruses or any other programs or technology designed 
to disrupt or damage any software or hardware.

In other words, MyNuMo.com is saying that you have to represent to them 
by agreeing here, that you own your stuff, and don't have lawsuits 
against it, before they can resell it and split the proceeds. And they 
are saying you continue to own it in the rest of the agreement.

Just because you partner with them to sell content, doesn't mean they 
own it, because you uploaded it to them. You definitely own your 
stuff, and you can definitely remove it and sell it elsewhere if you 
want to.
