Carter, who joined the group very recently. This thread is what started the discussion on crowdabout:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/57450 Anyway i hope such stuff gets used a lot. I guess it might take a while for people to get used to video comments, its the sort of thing I used to dream of and was glad when youtube added it, the video responses on youtube seem a lot better than the text comments, I guess the effort required and relative loss of anonimity act as a filter to the sorts of comments that get made in text, at least so far. So anyways crowdabout.us definately interests me but I dont know what else to say about ti really. I hope it gets used, I suppose there could be a gap here if the sorts of videos most likely to use such things, are not the ones that actually end up getting hosted with this technology. Its unfairly easier for an already huge service like youtube to put in new features and have people use them, can see if something is a success much quicker because the users are already there. Anyway Im mad keen on sustainable/energy issues so I should try out the video comment timeline features on some planet2025 content, but its early days and I dont want to go first lol. Ive completely forgotten if there are any other services that offer extra things linked to the timeline (& probably done in flash). Ive got this feeling I saw something vaguely simmilar quite a while ago but it might be a phantom memory or something unrelated. I was thinking the other day that syndication, mobile device, ipod, apple tv etc etc compatibility issues might have been great barrier that has prevented the ideo of what a videoblog is from evolving in certain strange directions. Wheras if we think only about being in a browser, all sorts of possbilities open up, the linear nature of video in videoblogs can be questioned. Adrian Miles, are you still on this list? Im not suggesting that we should abandon syndication etc, but youtube stuck to the browser and look where they got, and I would love to see what could be achieved. At the moment I am thinking about a videoblog which is actually a multimedia show of your entire blog, generated automatically. I wonder if that sparse description made any sense, more to follow on this topic in coming days.
