In response to Christian's post I ask: Can't the videoblogger repost a video to the RSS feed? I'm a little ignorant of the way all this works -- just started and a partner is doing the technical matters -- but can't the video "producer" just decide to rebroadcast and point the RSS feed at an old piece of content, thus re-syndicating it? It would be my decision as the producer to re-syndicate. I might risk boring my feed users so they cut off my feed if I repeat too many times, but I think it is, technically, an option.
Ryan and Christian are correct, I think, that the forms of radio and TV will be copied to some extent because of familiarity, because they work, because they give us a model to use, etc. In fact, I'm using just such a format which is something like the Rocketboom format, which is something like announced TV. And I think it's a great thing that we can use the old forms for our new purposes. I also think it's a great thing that the videobloggin medium does not necessarily have to copy those old forms. A lot of the videoblogs I've seen look like art to me more than TV. I'm thinking of one, I think Steve Garfield shot it. Someone put a giant piece of chalk on the street in Boston and someone (I think Steve Garfield) shot the results of people interacting with the chalk. It was fun, different, and definately not TV material. I would call it art. And I'm happy videoblogging permits and makes available this type of expression. I can't say I know as much about podcasts because I've never really subscribed, I jumped to videoblogging. Anyway, I go on and on ... -David www.captainhumphreys.com --- In [email protected], Christian Wach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 8 Feb 2006, at 01:18, Ryan Ozawa wrote: > > > Just as podcasters get grief for trying to "re-do radio," I think > > a lot of videobloggers/video podcasters are being pigeonholed as > > trying to "re-do TV." > > I agree - well put, Ryan! > > > One one hand, those paradigms have merit, and definitely help folks > > new to podcasting/videoblogging get a handle on what we're doing.
