When checking out flights, consider Newark as well
as JFK if international flights go there.
Rooms are pricey in NYC. "Priceline" and
other search engines allow you to type in the times you need and the rates you
want to pay.
You won't need any car in NYC. It would be a
nightmare. We use public transportation.
This list might be a good place for vloggers to
"host" each other for the big conference in April. Wouldn't staying with
another vlogger be more fun? And saving $100 or so a night would leave
money for cabs and restaurants. You could also stay a day or two longer to
take in some sightseeing.

I am seriously thinking of coming to the NY meet the vloggers
thingy in April, which means a 7 hour flight and hoping that my camera battery
can be charged over there, don't worry I know which kind of adaptor I will
need etc, but I was wondering, how much cheap accomodation would be over there
and how I would find it, I also have the trip from JFK to new york to worry
about and then where I will stay, I also have trouble driving in big cities,
so cabs and or buses or trains has got to be the only option, due to me only
being able to drive on the left hand side of the road. So any ideas.

Funny, you would mention
an idea like this. I walked down 8th Street in NYC the other
evening. First, there was a "games store" which was closed but had a
bunch of people painting figurines which were for sale in the front
window. Thought that would be
interesting.
I hadn't gone a block
before I found myself passing in front of a "Modeling and Sculpture"
school. That would be another interesting
vlog.
Suddenly, I thought what
a great serial-vlog it would be to go block by block in NYC doing vlogs
about the most interesting thing on each block. If you were teaching a
class on vlogging, you could just take a section of the City, give each
student a block and leave it up to them to pick something on that block to
videotape and create a vlog about.
This would create a
fascinating social history. One could dedicate one's life to doing it
alone but I would get tired after a
while.
Commercially, I could
imagine store's being willing to pay XXX dollars to have a vlog done about
them. That wouldn't interest me and will probably be considered "off
topic" and "business" on this list.
Still, I think the idea
of creating a series of vlogs around the idea of blocks, or even "art
galleries", or restaurants, whatever, would be
interesting.
I think a series on
venues for "comedy" would be uniquely funny and interesting to those
interested in comedy.

Basically anyone who uses the existing podcast features
may want to
have video rather than just audio.
Travelers for
one. They may want to use their (soon-to-be-available)
Tivo-2-Go
service to dump recorded shows down to their portable
device.
Then there would be no need to buy 'Lost' from iTunes if you
have Tivo
and could transfer it. Another option would be for tour
guide
stuff. For example, you could get info on places
to
eat/shop/drink in NYC from a local vlogger.
Personally, I do
not have much of a need either, but I recognize this
as having huge
potential. I'm a big fan of themed content and don't
really care
for personal-diary style stuff. Even the people I do
"know" are
hard to watch do nothing. The biggest reason I could
justify
buying a video iPod would be to take it out and share video
with
others.
Basically it comes down to this. Rather than being
limited to
recieving video on your television or computer, you could
take it
anywhere once it is on the iPod. That makes you a walking
media
center. You could plug it into any TV or PC and watch it
there.
Rumor has it that Apple is working on wireless for the iPod
so that
you really could broadcaster to others around
you.
Again, the content isn't really here yet. Or at least
not enough of
it or the type of content to justify my
purchase.
