Hey Lisa, Happy Holidays to all. While my voice may not be one that's paid attention to, I will agree with that sentence and state that for me, the vlogs I make become content for the overall SBS website and blog network. So they help draw traffic which then -- at times -- becomes revenue from clicks or sim accounts, or affiliate marketing. But also I have a BIG WEB PORTAL -- about 20K in pages. I'm not the norm.

Hi, Congrats on the site. I'm not sold on it from a usability perspective. It's way too busy. It reminds me of Bloglines in its design problems. The three main concerns of your design should be Can a person easily find the link button to go to his or her page?, Can a person set up an account with a few steps? , and Does the site promote vital video distribution well?

Its hard to tell from the press release but I assume they may well lmit some or all of it to US only due to the complexities of international media rights, for example that many of these US series are shown on UK TV much later, and the UK companies that pay a lot for the broadcast rightss arent likely to be chuffed if the stuff was already available to watch online first.

Interesting that this announcement comes on the heals of Viacom saying that they are going to create a site where people can leagaly mash up their work...Ah...corprate politics at it's finest. NEW YORK - MTV owner Viacom Inc. said Tuesday it has sued YouTube and its corporate parent Google Inc. in federal court for alleged copyright infringement and is seeking more than $1 billion in damages. Viacom claims that the more than 160,000 unauthorized video clips from its cable networks, which also include Comedy Central, VH1 and Nickelodeon, have been available on the popular video-sharing Web site. The lawsuit marks a sharp escalation of long-simmering tensions between Viacom and YouTube. Last month Viacom demanded that YouTube remove more than 100,000 unauthorized clips after several months of talks between the companies broke down. In a statement, Viacom lashed out at YouTube's business practices, saying it has built a lucrative business out of exploiting the devotion of fans to others' creative works in order to enrich itself and its corporate parent Google. Viacom said YouTube's business model, which is based on building traffic and selling advertising off of unlicensed content, is clearly illegal and is in obvious conflict with copyright laws. A representative for Google didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Other media companies have also clashed with YouTube over copyrights, but some, including CBS Corp. and General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal, have reached deals with the video-sharing site to license their material. Universal Music Group, a unit of France's Vivendi SA, had threatened to sue YouTube, saying it was a hub for pirated music videos, but later reached a licensing deal with them. Viacom filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is also seeking an injunction prohibiting Google and YouTube from using its clips.

Re: [videoblogging] racism vs vlogger ?
Hi, The post's title seems to indicate a race bias at play, but not in this story. I think it's more a problem of an institution in a post-911 environment imposing it's will and the general public standing back and allowing it to do so. As a momentary aside, there's too many examples of people being arrested and put away for non-violent matters and zero -- zero protest or screaming about it or even lawsuits. That's scary, and I am going to place myself in the sea of people who need to get off their ass and do something. Z --- Loiez D.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
I guess, for me, it boils down to communicating this question: Would you say something to hurt a person's feelings just because your skin is different than there own? If your answer is yes, then America has a problem... That's how I'd start a vlog. And it's because the bottom line is that some think they have the right to hurt the feeling of others for no good reason. None. It's getting bad.

Great point! I stand corrected! Z --- Charles Iliya Krempeaux [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I know this probably doesn't help your argument, but... there IS actually genetic evidence for race (or whatever you want to call it). It's just that they don't necessarily fall along the lines people are drawing up. Alot of the lines people seem to draw up seem to be based on politics... instead of genetics. And there's alot more interbreeding and mixing going on than most people probably realize. And it's been going on for quite a while. (Take a look at some of the studies using mitochondrial dna.) Also, even though some of the divisions are supported by the genetic data,... some of the people's others tend to group into one race aren't one race according to the genetic data... but are essentially different groups. There's also alot of things Anthropologists wouldn't dare say because of the political ramifications. (For example, Anthropologists wouldn't dare use the word species in describing different people. Also, wouldn't dare push the point that certain langauges developed from Creole languages in certain parts of the world... because that implies a mixing of different people in the past. Etc etc.) I don't think going about this with the scientific card is going to help. It's what people do that matters. What do they do if they are racist? Do they attack people because of it? If they do argue it on a moral point.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: You Tube Anti-Racism Project
Again, great point, but what point I thought was great was essentially the need to move to a place where people don't focus on such differences. Big deal, in other words. It's interesting that Dogs don't seem to give a damn about breed, yet are thought of as less intelligent than we. I'm starting to question that. We need to move to a point of outlawing racist behavior. Period.

I think it may have been our a couple different books or papers... and if that's the case I'll have to do some hunting... but... the particular example I was thinking about when I wrote that was that of Proto-Germanic. There's evidence to suggest that Proto-Germanic was a Creole language. And something else I read was arguing that the Germanic people's are a hybrid of (at least) Celtic people and today what we call Iranian people. There were some other arguments citing similarities between the old Aryan religion Zoroastrianisms... and Pre-Christian Germanic mythology (But you say that around some people will have all sorts of political fallout.) After reading some of that, I was actually wondering myself as to whether there was a link between the runes and the ancient Aryan wedge writing (that I can't remember the English name for right now). But I don't know enough about runes to really even guess on it. See ya Every linguistic anthropology class I've ever taken (and my brother's entire study of Near and Middle Eastern history (he specialized in linguistics). Linguistic anthropologists *love* talking about pidgeon and creole as ways to study migration and intermixing of cultures. No offence, but I'd definitely like to see the sources you're basing your comments on. Nox I don't think going about this with the scientific card is going to help. It's what people do that matters.
