This is Tiffiniy Cheng from Participatory Culture here. Just wanted to say that we're really
glad this forum exists -- videoblogging is helping to push media into a more democratic
direction, which is amazing and we're excited to follow in the footsteps of your work. We
think it is really important to make the tools that help videoblogging explode as soon as
possible because we think it is extremely important to make internet television as open
and accessible as soon as possible. And videoblogging can be as easy as blogging pretty
soon. And we all know what that means.
We'll be releasing the Mac beta version in a little over a week (http://
www.participatoryculture.org/hype). It should be a pretty good demonstration of the
platform, but it is still just a beta and does not have all the things we want in there. One of
these things is a well-designed interface and that's why we're holding a design contest too
(http://www.participatoryculture.org/contest -- $1000 for winning design interface, $300
for logo, $200 for winning referral via blog or word of mouth) and hopefully we'll be on
track to making something that can support and enhance your videoblogs. Please be
critical of the Mac Beta, but also remember that it's not quite done.
We're really excited to have a full Windows and Mac launch soon, any help or comments
are much appreciated. Updates coming soon.
Hope to talk to you all soon.
