Re: [videoblogging] Re: Videoblogging: potential dark side

[Markus Sandy]

hi kitka, you've touched on some hot topics and this is a very lively group sometimes it does feel a bit like a punk slam dance in here :) my points were mainly just data points to consider and to indicate that some of this has been going on for quite some time (like so much that has come together in videoblogging) i agree that this seems to be vlog directory issue.  the general topic of vlog directories and how they might be improved was suggested as a topic for our last video conference, but we only touched on it briefly when clint sharp stopped in (he is building the new fireant directory).  perhaps you will join our (generally friendly) vid conf tonight from 5-7pm pacific / 8-10pm eastern and bring up the topic for more discussion.  Devlon of MeFeedia has suggested the topic of "how can we improve vlog directories" and i think this certainly falls under the dicsussion, so please join us if you can. tonight's conference is at http://flash.kmi.open.ac.uk:8080/fm/index.php?pwd=565f36-2611 up to 25 max can join at any time for the 2 hour meeting, you don't need a camera and mic, but it's so much more fun that way. hope you will join in or at least stop by and say hello. markus Ms. Kitka wrote: Markus, --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Markus Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: hi kitka, welcome to the group Thanks, I'm starting to question why I joined since I've already encountered a couple of bullies. a few points that might relate: 1. every night for the past *several years*, many people build temporary sex blogs and vlogs (group blogs actually). Hundreds of people share personal videos (thousands share photos). These are paid services and rarely have RSS feeds (yet), but they definitely support comments and conversation! One popular example of this is "Homeclips". What was the point you meant to make by this? Is it that there is free porn out there that is accessible to children? That's why I wrote a message today about the idea of having a .kids domain for children... to completely protect them from accessing any porn sites. 2. i think *a lot* of people get their porn from ads, previews and catalogs (i.e., free) That might be true, but if there are porn preview video-podcasts, do we want them on vlog directories? I think the problem is the lack of a description... sure it's great to have an open definition of our new media, but it allows for absolutely anything, including advertising, to be included in the terms. 3. someone posted this link to the group the day before you joined: http://yumyumgirlieshow.libsyn.com/ Yes, I saw that show for the first time the other day on mefeedia... I noticed on mefeedia that my show is tagged as "Possible Adult Content", while the Yum Yum Girlie Show is not tagged like this at all. The difference is that my show has no nudity, but this is blatent masturbation material. regards, markus Thanks for being civil, Markus, not everyone in this group seems to be the same. Kitka ms.kitka wrote: I've been keeping a close eye on the porn industry and video-podcasting over the past few months and I have found that there is very little in the way of sex-based videoblogs. I even asked my viewers to e-mail me if they find other sex videoblogs because I would like to review them. I received a lot of e-mails about the top three sex videoblogs that I already knew about! What I've found is that the porn industry is mostly staying away from videoblogging and that only a handful of porn sites are making video-podcasts that show previews for their films to be viewed on the video iPod. But, seriously, what's the point? I can't imagine many people subscribing since it's just a preview... all it is is junk advertising. I'm just hoping that they will realize that it is not worth their time and stop spamming vlog directories with their annoying marketing strategies.
