Joshua, it is so rare to have someone else take your idea and turn it into reality.  I've always been one with many ideas and not enough time or energy or money for follow-through.   This is a great idea!  In fact, I've always toyed with the idea of having a "travel" TV show in which people who had visited a place would just sit on a panel and discuss what the place was like (with video and pictures).  You have that here, in a way, but it has an "on demand" feature universal to vlogs!   I'll certainly set out and do a short piece on Hoboken, NJ--which is a bedroom community for Manhattan and has become the Ft. Lauderdale of New Jersey where all the young people gather to party.   I've always been amazed at how difficult it really is to get a feeling for a place from travel guides and brochures, etc.  Vlogs will be especially good.  I certainly got a feeling for what Providence, RI is like from Doug's vlogs.   Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, Activist Advisor: The Immortality Institute Hoboken, NJ http://www.randywickerreporting.blogspot.com/ 201-656-3280     ----- Original Message ----- From: Joshua Seiden To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 10:43 PM Subject: [videoblogging] block by block video I'd like to invite you all to help create a collaborative videoblog neighborhood guide. I've kicked it off here: http://wayfaring.com/maps/show/2721 A few weeks ago, Randy Wicker shared an idea to create a video guide to our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. I thought, why not? I found a site that allows you to create community maps, and I've created one and linked to a few of my more place-based videos. A couple of thoughts: 1. Right now, I've made no attempt to be "guide-like" in any way. I've just linked to some videos that I think give a sense of place. So it's more of an evocative guide than a factual one. But who knows how/if this will evolve? 2. This seems like an obvious extension of vlogmap. I love vlogmap, but since it only maps entire vlogs not individual posts, it didn't seem as if it could accomplish the same thing. Perhaps someday... So...do you know something about a place? Add it to the map! (Just get yourself a free account on wayfaring.com, then edit the map.) I hope you'll all participate and/or share your thoughts.
