Re: [videoblogging] Stickam Videoblogging chatroom (videoconferencing)

It would be nice if we could set it up to be private somehow. Everytime I go in there I get random people calling me babe. Some stranger's naked torso first thing in the morning was a little much (let's keep our orgies just for us bona fide videobloggers!).

Re: [videoblogging] stickam

2006-02-16 Thread robert a/k/a r
I think we can respectfully make suggestions regarding how some vloggers view the set of needs for video publishing however IMHO we should not tell them how to run their businesses. If a host wants to show their logo or use Flash it's their business decision, it doesn't make them bad or evil, the way I see it they can do whatever they want. Same for anyone. 

I'm intrigued by how successful these new Flash hosting companies are doing, look at the youtube growth figures, look at how cool the vsocial flash is, look at what Rodrigo is cooking up, look at the media deals Brightcove is doing.

So why again is Flash is bad? I just posted a streaming flash of Jakob and James from one of our shoots and though I prolly overcompressed this web clip I'm liking the usability factor.

Re: [videoblogging] stickam

2006-02-15 Thread robert a/k/a r
Yeah, it's undisputed here, Fireant's the dog's bollocks of aggregators.

I'm suggesting we invite the innovators into the conversation, from the 
outside it looks like the Stickam peeps are on the ball and have ideas 
and tech know how.

Let's get them in here and talk. Just because NIH it'ss no reason to 
not think they can help help expand the vlogging universe. It's not 
about business competition, is it?

The point is they are hosting video and have have a nice interface. 
Dierdre  (hi Dierdre) pointed out in another mail she was having 
trouble uploading to them but thought well of their interface, let's 
give them feedback. I really like youtube, vsocial, audioblog, vpod.tv, 
blip.tv, vimeo, youare.tv (an others I'm forgetting to mention here) 
and the Archive, but why not have more choices?

Stickam is just launching yesterday (or today?) and probably working 
out their strategy as are probably some of the others. Nothing is 
perfect yet. Can't we be constructive instead of dismissive?

Let's give them a chance too. Do Stickcam even know about this group? 
Let's invite them and see if they can help progress the videoblogging 
effort.

What do you say?  (and again, I wasn't dissing Fireant in the previous 
email, it's only that I'm newly finding I like to visit the blogs of 
the peeps posting and see their work in context).

2006-02-15 Thread Michael Sullivan



i agree with josh except for this statement:If I have to come to your website to watch it, then it ain't really distributing.
depends how you look at 'distributing content'. i tend to look at it from a more loose and general side. web publishing and blogging are a form of content distribution. it may not be sending the content direct to an individual (email, rss reader, p2p client, client/server app etc) but its out there and has been distributed to the web... where anyone can consume it. 
music labels distribute music on CD and are offered for purchase at stores. you have to go to the store to get it. films are distributed on film and dvd etc... you have to go to a theatre or to a store to consume the content. 
'distribution' doesnt strictly mean direct-to-consumer-on-demand. and 'experience' doesnt necessarily degrade if the consumption is done via the web. i think you may be underestimating the big picture of networked media. 
it's not all about aggregation.sullOn 2/14/06, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 flv for distribution, in fact I'd argue it's more valid since it forces the media to remain connected to the source. Now you know I've tried Fireant on mac (and sent a donation:) from early on and support your company's goal, however I think we all need
 to encourage others to participate and develop tools, not dismiss their efforts so quickly. I'm not using Fireant any longer, the experience is not producing any gain for me. That said, I'm not against it and might
 come around to using it again at some point, but vlogs feels disconnected there. It looks like a good tool for transferring media to portable devices, but when that happens the vloggyness is no more.
 Please don't take this as a dis to Fireant, it isn't. Just my $0.02 today. Let's encourage participation, let's be constructive when we see TOS items we would like to have a conversation
 about, let's be open to flv and connected vlogging, let's think about the social opportunities for vlogging. That's why I'm always asking questions and interested in hearing about new services.

I don't have any use for services that take freedom away from the creator.
If I put my video in their service, can I get it back? They turn it
into Flash, where does my original go? Can I really distribute it
using the shared standards of the blogosphere like RSS.

Put it this way, why don't I post every text blog entry as a read-only

really help people distribute media.

Now to argue my point from the other side... This may be a great
service for some people. The basic step of putting video on a website
can be solved in a number of ways. This may be a nice widget for doing
just that.

But your question was if this service had any value to videobloggers.
To that question, my answer is no. It has little if any relationship
to videoblogging other than it being a way to embed a clip on my blog
sidebar... that's about it. But as for distrbution of media, I don't
really see it there. If I have to come to your website to watch it,
then it ain't really distributing.

Re: [videoblogging] stickam

2006-02-14 Thread robert a/k/a r
It's interesting. I find the experience of viewing a video within the 
original blog entry more satisfying than moving that video into an 
off-line state divorced from the host. When you break the vlog like 
that you're unable to comment, you have disconnected the media.

You can argue all you want about distribution meaning put it on a 
disconnected device but I call bullsh*t. It's completely valid to use 
flv for distribution, in fact I'd argue it's more valid since it forces 
the media to remain connected to the source.

Now you know I've tried Fireant on mac (and sent a donation:) from 
early on and support your company's goal, however I think we all need 
to encourage others to participate and develop tools, not dismiss their 
efforts so quickly. I'm not using Fireant any longer, the experience is 
not producing any gain for me. That said, I'm not against it and might 
come around to using it again at some point, but vlogs feels 
disconnected there. It looks like a good tool for transferring media to 
portable devices, but when that happens the vloggyness is no more. 
Please don't take this as a dis to Fireant, it isn't.

Just my $0.02 today. Let's encourage participation, let's be 
constructive when we see TOS items we would like to have a conversation 
about, let's be open to flv and connected vlogging, let's think about 
the social opportunities for vlogging. That's why I'm always asking 
questions and interested in hearing about new services.

Re: [videoblogging] stickam

I'm open to FLV... that's not what is being discussed here. Does
Stickam distribute the FLV files? It doesn't look like it does...

FireAnt is still the only aggregator around that supports playback of
FLV (not many people choose to implement FLash in such a distributable
way though... usually Flash is used to lock content onto the page
instead of letting it flow and become distributed).

FireAnt also supports direct links back to the blog source for
commenting and keeps all the RSS information in tact (unlike iTunes),
so I don't really get your comments there about disjointedness.

Like I said, different tools support different user behaviors. FireAnt
is a great tool for consuming lots of video from distributed sources.
I'm not just saying that because I'm one of the creators. I'm saying
that because its not uncommon for our users to be subscribed to 50-100
different video feeds.

Hey, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks... your question had to do
with whether Stickam had value to videoblogging, i still don't believe
it does. For other applications, maybe so.

 It's interesting. I find the experience of viewing a video within the
 original blog entry more satisfying than moving that video into an
 off-line state divorced from the host. When you break the vlog like
 that you're unable to comment, you have disconnected the media.

 You can argue all you want about distribution meaning put it on a
 disconnected device but I call bullsh*t. It's completely valid to use
 flv for distribution, in fact I'd argue it's more valid since it forces
 the media to remain connected to the source.

 Now you know I've tried Fireant on mac (and sent a donation:) from
 early on and support your company's goal, however I think we all need
 to encourage others to participate and develop tools, not dismiss their
 efforts so quickly. I'm not using Fireant any longer, the experience is
 not producing any gain for me. That said, I'm not against it and might
 come around to using it again at some point, but vlogs feels
 disconnected there. It looks like a good tool for transferring media to
 portable devices, but when that happens the vloggyness is no more.
 Please don't take this as a dis to Fireant, it isn't.

 Just my $0.02 today. Let's encourage participation, let's be
 constructive when we see TOS items we would like to have a conversation
 about, let's be open to flv and connected vlogging, let's think about
 the social opportunities for vlogging. That's why I'm always asking
 questions and interested in hearing about new services.

Re: [videoblogging] stickam

2006-02-14 Thread Deirdre Straughan



I think that, once again, we're splitting hairs. If you ask is this useful to the videoblogging community, when some people definte videoblogging as (roughly) having all the features of a blog AND including video, then perhaps Stickam is not useful.
But I suspect that the average citizen (outside this group) who is interested in distributing video online may not care about RSS, portable devices, etc., but is simply looking for a way to share video online with a fairly small group of people, 
e.g. video of the new baby going to the grandparents, at least as a first step.If you want to get people videoblogging, perhaps something like Stickam is a good place to start, before you scare them off with the alphabet soup of terminology. When/if they get interested in a wider audience, they'll be back to learn about all the bells and whistles. And they're not stuck with Stickam if they don't want to be.
I did note that Stickam has a nicely designed interface which is easy to use and explains what it wants. My only problem is that it failed to actually upload and process my video, and did not tell me why.

this looks like an amazing communications tool that is portable
across various hosting services. You can set it to play a video
mail message - could be a vlog, and of course you could use it to
vchat too...wow..On 2/13/06, robert a/k/a r [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:




Hey all

Just came across a new service called stickam.

http://www.stickam.com/stickam.jsp

In adition to hosting, they have a live streaming (flash) scheme where 
you throw an object in your sidebar and broadcast live.

Is there any value for a vlogger to use their service?

I don't see how this is helpful to videoblogging.Its a nice widget that i can stick on a webpage... seems more useful to MySpace, Ebay Auctions, Craigslist pages... stuff like that, but has little to do with distribution of media and the supporting the shared standards of the blogosphere.
