[videoblogging] Re: Meet the elite!
Rupert - You bring up some great points and valid concerns. Let me try to address them: 1) Limit on numbers - We wanted to limit the initial numbers of the IAWTV so we could create a nimble organization that in its inaugural years is capable of getting a lot accomplished. That includes designing an organizational structure that will address a lot of the online video community's concerns. In too many instances we've seen fledgling organizations buckle under the weight of their membership before they were ever able to really get off the ground. I think we have a great core group that's a well-balanced mix of independent content creators, executives, agents, and other creatives who are invested in the industry and its future. In the coming months they'll shape the way the academy grows and the induction process for new members. That being said, I would love to see more independent content creators represented as the IAWTV moves forward and if you have any suggestions on the types of, or specific people you'd like to see in the academy, please send them over. 2) International - Agreed, there admittedly isn't a whole lot of representation outside of the US at this moment, but hopefully that will quickly change (in fact, we're building in support for non-English language selections for next year's Streamy Awards). Again, if Jeffrey or anyone else has recommendations for people who live outside the US who are dedicated to the space, please send those names over. 3) And to Jeffrey's point, ultimately the IAWTV is about providing legitimacy to and growing the web television space. I think an organization like this can have a much bigger voice than the sum of its parts and bring a lot more well-deserved recognition to the online video community as a whole, which I believe is good for everyone. Moving forward, I also hope the IAWTV is able to accomplish a lot of what Jeffrey mentioned: best practices and labor standards and providing guidelines and resources for emerging talent. We all realize the IAWTV is a nascent organization within a burgeoning industry. If you have any suggestions on membership or roles you see that the academy could play, please get in touch. - Josh _ Josh Cohen http://www.tilzy.tv joshuaATtilzyDOTtv --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jeffrey Taylor thejeffreytay...@... wrote: Big pet peeve of mine when US orgs call themselves international in word, but not in deed. I'm willing to help in any way I can, and have lots of ex-US contacts, so anyone in charge please feel free to ping me. I understand that there's reps from international companies, but a big missing I see here is the independent creators from outside the US. They need empowering, too! In any case, I'm glad this is coming up. Commercial online video producers need legitimacy, best practice and labor standards in the face of traditional corporate hegemony. Traditional media execs needs to know that online shows are not cat pissing in toilet vids on YouTube. The community needs to develop guidelines, not a set of rules, that can help emerging talent create their own wins. And most importantly, commercial online video producers need to ensure that they're not relegated to being cheap labor just because they can do everything studios can with fewer people and less overhead. Cheaper is fine, exploitive is not. For these reasons, I really hope that the iawtv is a success. I think the thing we all need to realize now is that the medium is developing to the point that different genres are solidifying in online video content. This is a wonderful thing, and we need to ensure that we put the cheering on of people following their bliss at the forefront and put our I don't like this and our I wouldn't do it that way types of statements on the backburner. 2009/3/9 Rupert rup...@... Here's the kind of post that would have induced a feeding frenzy back in the good old bad old days here on the group. Like throwing an underling to the piranhas. In the spirit of that, I give you: The International Academy of Web Television http://www.iawtv.org/ Just launched last week, though no one mentioned it here. Members are voting on The Streamys awards which Josh Cohen announced a while ago here. The Academy was created by a cartel of the main web video news sites: Tilzy.tv, Tubefilter and NewTeeVee. They've published their inaugural membership list, featuring some of our friends from the group. Most of those you'd expect, who have popular shows, know a lot of people, do the social media thing well, and connect in real life in the right circles at meetups in NY, SF or LA (But not Scoble or Feldman or Ze Frank). Not just performers and show producers, but executives and talent agents. I'm not quite sure why the limit on numbers - other Academies have hundreds or thousands of members, and there are quite a few people I'd want

Just discovered Rootclip - http://rootclip.com. Long explanation short, it's a collaborative storytelling / choose your adventure contest site. The founders of the site create the first clip (aka rootclip). Then users submit videos of what happens in the next minute. Viewers vote on which one makes the official cut. Wash, rinse, repeat, until the 6th/Final round, when only winners from previous rounds can submit. You end up with a 6 or so minute story from 5 different voices all created with audience approval.

[videoblogging] Re: Other Tube Mogul-like Options
Andrew - Have you checked out Vidmetrix? www.vidmetrix.com. I haven't used them (we're currently using Tubemogul to distribute all our interviews), but I've heard some good things in reference to their reporting. However, Tubemogul distributes to more sites. Tim - I've read you arguments before about how some video hosting/sharing sites (including Revver and blip) create RSS feeds for one's content. You're correct - it's really messed up. What happens if a few thousand people are subscribed through your show's Revver feed and then Revver goes out of business? You're out a few thousand subscribers. You're also missing out on ways to monitize those subscribers through an RSS feed that you own and operate. It should either be A) be an opt-in service that these sites provide and not something that's automatically generated and/or B) allow you to insert your own RSS feed as the subscription options. In regards to Tubemogul and other free services, it's like with anything else - I think you gotta take it on a case by case basis. I like Tubemogul and I've spoken with Brett a few times and found him to be a great guy, so I feel comfortable using his product.
