Re: [videoblogging] League of Decent Vloggers Unite!
Dear Sir, Further to your electronic message of 11.15 inst, my remarks are as follows: My, what a simply spiffing idea. We must take immediate steps to rid the vlogosphere of its all-pervading corruption and incivility. Only this past week, I looked at an internet programme in which a woman of the Canadian persuasion strutted before the camera sporting a painted goatee. You can imagine my horror. Wouldn't have happened in my youth, I tell you. I will instruct my man to storm my brain for ideas. Yours faithfully, etc On 10 Apr 2007, at 11:15, Mike Meiser wrote: Based on the fact that twitter is so totally hot right now with vloggers I should probably be twittering this, but anyway...

Anyway, the whole article makes me laugh... our own league of decent vloggers shows remarkable foresight in pre-parodying the issue before the blogging space even grappled with it. Perhaps we could organize some good collective fun by dusting off the old league of decent vloggers banners and video intro's and outro's and put on a little participatory show for the fine folks in the blogosphere. Perhaps a collective tag meme LeagueOfDecentVloggers or simple decency. I can see a nice Steve and Carol show where an especially prim and proper Steve and Carol with their fuzzy bunny slippers review the finer points of the old movie standards for self censorship. Glacticast too might be able to create some particularly resonate videos on the subject. :) All in all I think the vlogosphere needs more protestants... perhaps the some of the brits can help. :) We did effectively demonstrate the power of the vlogosphere by making it onto technoratti's top tags page pretty much every day of videoblogging week... I'm not saying this is the subject... but perhaps we should keep the collective conversation going. I do so miss the electric verdi, such a great digital fire starter... alas I hear he spends his days in the far of land of Second Life, and his evenings in San Fran... it's to bad, we could use more digital firestarters like him in vloglandia. :) Of course... the blogosphere, and I'm sure the vlogosphere too will both I'm sure grapple with the issue of decency again and again everytime we collectively get that urge for that simple orwellian era when the wife had dinner on the table when the man got home from work at 5:15. :) Me... I just love the fun. :) It's much better than worrying about the bastardization of net neutrality or the tyranny of the looming my-goo-tube-yahoo-a-zon.

the O'Reilly draft code of conduct is based loosely on the blogher one isn't it (he mentions this at http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/04/draft_bloggers_1.html) http://blogher.org/community-guidelines this is a good one We won't say anything online that we wouldn't say in person. I think the proposal's alright actually. I wish more message boards/irc systems/maillists had this in the past, though they also tend to be self/community moderated online systems which even out after a while. obviously not everyone will follow the guidelines anyway, and there's always the flyby posters but the guidelines seem pretty commonsense/logical to me as they are. not sure I'll feel the need to add a badge to any of my sites/communities I'm part of but I don't see anything too unusual there. maybe some parents might like the badged sites as ok for younger readers? kath --- It sounds like the blogosphere is putting together their own league of decent bloggers. http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070409-prohibition-and- candelight-marches-a-code-of-conduct-for-bloggers.html tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/24udle (So much for arstechnica's insane url length.)

Enh, some of the loonies I've had the displeasure to deal with online probably wouldn't flinch at saying anything to my face - and I wouldn't be keen to give them the opportunity. The problem with the Internet is that it aggregates loonies, too. sigh -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal) www.tvblob.com (work) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
