FireANT is "freeware" (license unknown) I/ON is "freeware" (license unknown) DTV is GPL'd PenguinTV is GPL'd Ourmedia, vlogmap, mefeedia, etc. are all 'services' that are currently free. If any of them became 'not free' or disappeared, finding alternatives should be somewhat easy. Ourmedia uses Drupal, which is open-source. I believe they feed changes/modules back to the Drupal community but if someone can confirm this, it would be helpful. Vlogmap is at the mercy of Google, since it uses Google Map's data. It could be done with other mapping data, but it would probably not be as nice. mefeedia is Peter, and if you trust him, you can trust mefeedia. Rambling on a bit... Feedburner, well, if you are going to use Feedburner, and you control your own server, at least redirect a URL on your site to their feed. (Clint can tell you how.) Blog*Spot, if you trust Blogger/Google, or can only do free hosting, then use it. Alternatives to depending on others? You can use Drupal, WordPress, or any other open-source blogging app on a web server you control, and serve the videos and feed from it as well. It may cost some money for the hosting, but using blog software for a videoblog is fairly easy and you don't have to worry about someone else disappearing, or selling out. Freevlog is great because it ties together a bunch of free services into a great tutorial on setting up a videoblog. Feevlog does similar, but focuses on using paid services. Do we need a DIYvlog site as well, showing how to do it all yourself relying on no one else? Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... ------------------------ Yahoo!
