Markus...
Thanks for checking it out. Take a look at my latest post to the list and it gives the real explanation as to what is going on and how it will affect us all. Blip.tv also has a good write up on the problem. It is a corporate dispute between cogent and level 3.
Thanks for the head's up on the volunteering. I'll definitely look into that.
Best,

i went to your vlog and it looks great, but vids gave me an error in firefox/mac that archive.yadayada is not available - not an unusual situation
but i went to archive and searched for one of your vids, found it and played it w/o any problems
i checked you archive and vlog urls for movie and they matched
then i went back to vlog and it played there too - so, it's them, not you
<rant>
i love archive, but it is so unreliable and frustrating - same for ourmedia
many say "you get what you pay for", "it's free", "it's made with love" and all kinds of other BS.
The fact is, we pay a lot. We work hard (to quote Jay) on our content and we work through these frustrating problems. Many also provide support, training and word of mouth marketing. Brewster Khale and others, while giving a lot, are also getting a lot. Our content and support for one thing. And lots of kudos and even some bucks for another.
In return we get some storage, vague promises about the future, unreliable service and lots of frustration. This needs to be fixed.
Having said that, OurMedia needs lots of help; please consider volunteering at OurMedia:
http://www.ourmedia.org/mission/ahead/volunteer
Also, we need to educate the companies we work for/with to recognize the value of these tools and services and contribute. Not just money, but time. I want people like Clint Sharp to be funded by their employers to work in the commons at places like archive and ourmedia. More and more, we are utilizing the vlogosphere infrastructure for the benefit of companies and organizations. They need to give back (better yet, pay it forward).
Convince your bosses that it is in their interests to have us work one or two days a week on "commons" related activities.

I can get ourmedia page to come up but when I try to click on the link it won't load my videos. (when you store your vids on ourmedia.org they are stored at archive.org actually) Anyway, I can't access my videos or the archive.org page. This really is driving me bonkers to hear that others can access my vlog and the archive.org page and I can't.

I have not had more than the usual problems with archive.org lately, but
OurMedia has really been having trouble.
Last night, I was at USC attending a VB workshop and people were trying
to use ourmedia but the front page would not even come up (some
threading error).
In the end, we used Blip.tv instead of ourmedia/archive. Worked like a
charm.
