Don't lose the question, Raymond! :)

Anyways, as for me, I'm not involved in any kind of media or art things.
I currently work for a swedish game company called Digital Illusions
CE (http://global.dice.se ) as an audio programmer for Next-Gen game
platforms (Xbox360, Ps3, Revolution and PC)

Not very exciting. And maybe not relevant. But there it is :)

I've certainly been exposing myself a lot lately. (Hey, I thought that 
was a safe term around camera people!!) You know, coming out of the 
woodwork, in the group and in my vlog. I teach about technology so I 
have to (and want to) keep up with what's going on, especially anything 
that may be important for my students. I'm also a business consultant 
and coach so I'm pondering how vlogging can be useful to my clients. 
This includes thinking about the business model, and promotion 
opportunities, so if I have any insights, I'll share them with you. I've 
worked a lot in multimedia and continue to be interested in how 
mutlimedia accelerates learning, improves retention, and communicates a 
message. I like playing with new techie toys, and I like to share fun, 
happiness, joy, and amusement with others, hence my vlog.

My hidden agenda is to get everyone laughing, every day.

Actually, this is not radical at all. In fact it is a requirement that
was stated in the first email one receives from this group:

You MUST send a message to the group disclosing your affiliation.
Something like this will get you good vibes:

I am currently employed by a media/publishing company. I'm just a 
lackey, I am not some big decision maker. As far as I know the company 
will not be attempting to sell any products related to any sort of 
blogging, video or otherwise.

I am part of this group for myself, not because of my current employer.

I also do work for myself and people I know. It's creative work (design 
and programming) and I have no plans to issue any press releases or plug 
any sort of products on this list. Self-promotion is something I've 
really never done, probably to own detriment. :/

To sum things up, I think videoblogging is fun, and cool, and 
revolutionary, so that's why I'm here, and why I have a videoblog. 
Nothing more to read into it really.

Re: [videoblogging] Disclosures, disclosures

2005-08-08 Thread Stephanie Bryant




Here's mine:

I am a technical writer. I work for a semiconductor company in
Milpitas, California. I keep my day job out of my blog/vlog.

I am also a computer book writer, and wrote a couple of books on
mainly Internet technologies a couple of years ago. If I get a book
contract for a videoblogging book (hope hope hope maybe), I will
follow the terms of my contract in disclosing that fact. I may or may
not be permitted to do so immediately-- we'll see. However, what
typically happens with these things is that I'm given 2 weeks to write
a 500 page book, which is so absurd it's basically a recipe for
failure and/or hiring out chapters to other writers. If that happens,
I'll be fishing in this community for good writers to help out.

Most likely, though, I won't get the book and instead will be
freelancing again or staying at my current staff job. In any case, I'm
basically a content producer for the tech industry in one way or
another-- that's my affiliation. Like all freelancers, I'm looking to
make a buck off of my talent. Like many, though, I realize the type of
content I love to produce is probably not the same content that others
want to pay for.

Professionally, I also do technical training and presentations. Right
now, I'm not leveraging that into video.

Just FYI, before I get into this thread heavily and start responding, 
he's disclosed this several times. Just because it's not in your 
signature doesn't mean it's not well known.

RE: [videoblogging] Disclosures, disclosures

2005-08-08 Thread David Yirchott




If I may, let me present a fuller disclosure than before:

I am not a CBS/Viacom spy. I am not one of the higher-ups at Viacom. I am 
not participating in this group for my job. I am not a comapny man. I am 
not what I do (Jean-Paul Sartre aside, perhaps I should rephrase that as: I 
am not what I do for a living).

In fact, I joined this group before I worked for CBS, though I had a 
different username then. That's not too important as I did not participate.

As I explained in my introductory post, I work for a television staion. A 
CBS OO, to be precise. What is an OO? It is a television station that is 
Owned  Operated by the network. Most television stations in the US are 
affiliates, which means the stations belong to a company that pays for 
network programming. Sort of like a franchise. My last job was at KRON in 
San Francisco. It is an independent (meaning no network affiliation) station 
owned by Young Broadcasting. Young Brodcasting owns something like ten 
television stations of different affiliation (URL: 
http://www.youngbroadcasting.com/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=YBTVAscript=11905item_id=%27stations.htm%27 
).

When I was three, I decided I wanted to make movies. I was a film/video 
major in college. I ended up in television and then the Internet side of 
television. I have always been interested in communication, particularly 
visual communication. I know that television is evolving and/or dying. I 
agree wholeheartedly with those who think there is almost nothing but crap 
on the tube. I annoy people at work by telling them we'll all be out of 
jobs in a few years and television as we know it won't exist. I am excited 
by the possiblities that are now available to millions of individuals who 
want to communicate and create.

I guess what I am saying is: I am not CBS. I am not Viacom. They just happen 
to sign my paychecks. It's a job. In my television career I have worked for 
Viacom, Young Broadcasting, Lin Television, Argyle, and PBS. I never swore 
an oath of fealty to any of them, though I do like to do good work. I am 
involved here because I choose to be and because I want to participate in 
the evolution that is underway.

Anyway, I hope that quells any fear others may have about my affiliation 
with the MSM. If you have further questions of me, post them or email me.

For what it is worth, I have enjoyed reading the disclosures others have 
posted. So, I hope there are more to come.

-David

Hey all,

The recent disclosure of David stating that he works for CBS/Viacom is
interesting. Not surprising as such, but interesting. I am happy to
know, at least.

How about we all disclose our affiliations? Too radical, eh?

There are many actors in this field with plans. Plans for how to use
the information we achieve through this forum for our own projects,
goals, economic growth. This mailing-list is very rich with content,
and it is amazing how potent it still is.

Sometimes, we as a group react like an angry mob when someone tickles
with us. I can only refer to the story of a certain film producer.. We
as a group provide important feed-back to tool-makers like FireANT,
Apple (for iTunes), feedburner and so on. If you are working on a tool
for videobloggers and go about your promotion of your site in a good
way (like Matt did with vlogmap.org), you can get a Lot of link love
within days.

Disclosures are important, but we cannot expect that all those lurkers
will disclosure their identity. We know that we are being watched,
though. I sometimes get frigging paranoid with I think that over 80
individuals are subscribed to my lousy videoblog. Who are they? What
do they want? Entertainment? A piece of Norway? Unlike Josh Leo's
site, for instance, I don't get a lot of comments so people are being
mostly quiet about how they are watching.

I expect that we will see a lot of instances like Hello, I am from
Warner Bros, I have been observing this community for months now, and
we will now be launching X concept. No wait, they won't write it
here. They will issue a press release ffs.

So, disclosures. My own, in case you haven't seen it: I work for
BlogSoft, a Norwegian blogging software company. We are thriving well
in the Norwegian and Swedish market (where Six Apart is not active),
and we are working on tools for videoblogging now. Tools like Youtube
or Blip.tv. but more centered around a blog and with better blogging
tools. We create portals for media companies like the Norwegian tv
station TV2. We are looking at ways to do video mobileblogging. I am
part of this community, and also I observe this community. Sometimes I
feel rather xenophobic :)

Out of the 1100 subscribers to this mailing list, I guess we have
heard from perhaps 400. Are there any numbers on this, Jay? The
majority are,
