Hi everyone: First off....Been offline due to computer problems (And economical problems associated with them). Had to replace my old HD and am just now getting around to putting everything i previously had before on the new one. :(
Anyhow....Here's a little food for thought.... Is it just me or is there really a difference as to HOW one posts videos? I personally don't see the difference. And with places like YouTube and MySpace video becoming more and more recognizable as THE place to store videos like places like flickr have become for storing pictures, does the average Joe Blow "Do-It-Yourself" videoblogger like many of us here (I won't name names as I think we all know who we are in this area :) ) who encodes using Quicktime and uploads the QT videos to his/her own web server/space really have a chance of getting noticed? If so, by whom? My answer to those questions would be ONLY BY THOSE WHO GOOGLE THE TERM "VIDEOBLOG" (Without the quotes of course :) ). I'm thinking at this point that we as videobloggers may have to start rethinking the way we post videos to our sites and how we encode them as well. I say this NOT because I happen to think that what many of us are doing is "sub-standard" or "inept", but let's face it folks - We can't simply laugh off at places like YouTube and the (Admittedly often silly) people who frequent those places. And that doesn't even include the publicity those places get from sources like G4 TV (and maybe Current TV as well for all I know). Now I'm not saying that everyone should all just switch to using a so-called "viral" video portal outlet and post the output video from there onto your vlog. But we shouldn't just simply ignore them either. I dunno. Maybe I'm not making any sense here. Then again....Am I? Thoughts? Comments? Flames? Tar? Feathers? ALL OF THE ABOVE (Gulp!)?
