Re: [videoblogging] MySpace Suicide Note

[Deirdre Straughan]

Well done.

Re. the panic button, isn't there some sort of hotline for reporting
syspected sexual predators etc. ? That might be the fastest way to get
MySpace's attention.

Re: [videoblogging]

[Ron Watson]

Hey Enric,
Is there any way to make a link below my embedded video vPIP that  
would play a different filetype in place of the other?

For instance:

Set up the vPIP pic as mymovie.FLV and have a link underneath that  
would shift the target file to mymovie.MOV.


I embed everything in my site in Flash so everyone can see it. I'd  
like as many people as possible to have people view my files in  
Quicktime though as the quality is just so much better.

Really what I want is to have my cake and eat it too.

Is there any way to do that? Is it an interesting idea for a future  
release?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Ron Watson

Also can anyone tell me what settings they use for HD footage when
they open a project in Final Cut Pro and what settings they use to
keep it in HD when you export it?

[videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?

[Nick Schmidt]

I have been using the Sanyo HD1A... The smallest video camera with HD..

To check out what it look like check my website and click on the

I took these videos at a football game and while on my trip to vegas.
I haven't done any personal videos yet, so all the HD videos I have

[Nick Schmidt]

for some reason my 1st one didn't post right... so..let's try again.

What are the detail of your setting for the video codecs, frame rate,
audio codecs... ??
Everything..

Do you use the export with the compressor or Using Quicktime Conversion?

To get more of the details of everything I'm talking about Ryan did an
awesome video tutorial for compressing for ipods, in case you don't
already know.

here check
http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2006/12/13/screencast-h264-ipod-compression-from-imovie-and-final-cut-pro/

So after you see this video and post your reply I think this post will
be a good reference for the newbies, you, and myself.. So I'm
interested in to hear what you have to say..

Sure, it all comes down to the people.

The aggregator I complained about recently involved a guy who  
threatened to sue Rocketboom.

This aggregator involves a guy who has reached out and offered to  
help Rocketboom, time and time again.

I am certain that the only reason why Blip is doing well right now is  
because of the people. Thats what distinguished them.

As I mentioned earlier, I have spent a lot of time with Chris and  
Jeff this year and after getting to know them and hearing about their  
vision, learning about their resources, and seeing the speed of their  
activity, Id say they have an extremely well funded, very  
experienced, super spirited outlook.

--

I met Chris at Podcamp when he started it in Boston, where he and I  
first met Jeff.

I then went to the on to meet up with Chris and Jeff on many other  
occasions and conferences this year.

We have all been talking recently about sharing a studio space here  
in Manhattan as well.

---

Im personally focused on creating more content right now but with  
regards to all of you this leads me to this thought, again:

I've often said out loud to the various parties involved that it  
would be great to join Vlogmap and Vlogdir (directories), FireAnt  
(software ap) and Mefeedia (database) all together for a killer app,  
esp. because of the talents of the people involved that could be  
shared to develop the uber work.

With Network2 (currently an online aggregator), Blip (hosting) and  
all of the extra stuff that each of these bring to the table, you  
would have a major indi-meregr of support.

I realize its a crazy idea, but if I wasn't busy, I'd do more than  
just suggest it.

I hope the team who made the video turns around spend their money
wisely. While this drivel is on Cheney and Co. are making their money
and some poor sap suffers without anyone listening. I really hope the

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Hello and some assistance needed

[CarLBanks]

Be careful about one thing: Make sure the file output will work with your
editor and make sure the audio/video sync. Before I moved to tape I used a
point and shoot camera that outputted to .ASF and the audio/video would be
out of sync. It also only recorded GOOD speed at 320x240.

A good starting place is http://www.camcorderinfo.com I don't know
your price range but you can get grounded with this review site.

I don't know why e-coustics has a PC World article on buying a
camcorder but there is good stuff here:
http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/howto/125646

Over at CNet you can view video reviews of camcorders as well as
getting a look at camcorders at different price points.

[videoblogging] Re: MySpace Suicide Note

[Gena]

I think the protocol is exactly what you did and Rick did. It was the
adult thing to do. There may have been other teens that read that note
and didn't know what to do.

Let's play it the other way, it could have be a hoax or cry for help.
The kid would have gotten a minor boost out of it but then would have
caught hell from others who'd want to know why did he post the message. 

There was no loss to your actions either way.

A panic button would only make it a game to some and an annoyance to
whoever is responsible to monitor millions of blog pages. 

Teens are impervious to danger (of all kinds) until their world
crashes around them. Then they see only one way out. Education,
compassion and more education can help. A lot of troubled kids need
interventions on many levels.

I don't think there is a technological answer to this one, just a
blessed human one. His parents are thanking you and Rick beyond measure.

[videoblogging] Re: Hello and some assistance needed

[jonny goldstein]

Just a little point and shoot photo camera that also shoots video will
do the trick for $200 bucks or so along with a decent sized memory
card (say 1 gig) for another 30 bucks or so. I haven't bought one
lately, so I can't recommend a particular one. Anyone else? Just make
sure it has a mode that shoots 640x480. Even if you reduce the
dimensions of the final output, it'll look better if you shoot it in
higher resolution.

The main limitation on a point and shoot photo camera for video is the
audio from the built in speakers will be kind of weak. You'll have to
spend more if you want really good audio---some kind of camera that
takes an external mic.

My question is... What should the protocol be in instances like these?

Wow, that is amazing.

MySpace actually saved his life in this case. I think there should be a

into it ASAP.

[videoblogging] Hello and some assistance needed

Hi all - My name is Allen Stern and I run a couple of sites but the
one that I am going to pose a question about is CenterNetworks
(www.centernetworks.com). I currently do audio interviews but want to
start to do video interviews in my travels to conferences and meetups. 

Right now I have a Logitech Quickcam fusion cam that I purchased about
6 months ago. While it does an ok job on my desktop, on my powerful
(but no video card onboard) laptop, it really does a poor job.

Since I am strapped for cash, can someone provide a decent solution
for someone just starting out in video interview blogging? I would
prefer something that is easy to travel with.

Thank you in advance and I have already enjoyed reading a lot of the
message content.

Andrew,
I'm not trying to get in an argument with you but I am interested in a
clarification of your thoughts here. In the past you've written to this list
about all the trouble you've had with sites that have sucked in the
Rocketboom feed allowing people to watch episodes embeded in pages that kind
of made it look as if Rocketboom had some relationship with the site.
Obviously you feel something is different here with Network2. Can you
explain why you see this as different?

No one has put it all together in one easy place to discover. Its an  
obvious missing gap and the value to everyone is immense.

For this reason, I believe (so far) the directory part of the  
conversation should be not be opt-in and perhaps not even give the  
option to opt-out.

A directory is just a collection of links.

The best directory will need to send ace spiders out to collect links.

Remember when Podcasting first came out and there were more  
podcasting directories than there were podcasts?

What happened? Its so decentralized  (this has its many merits too)  
but nothing emerged as the place to go to find it anything.

With videoblogging, no single directory has emerged either.

There is a big value to everyone for a Google-sized Search location  
for online video.

There would be great value in a full on Technorati of videoblogging.

There would be a great value in a digg for video too.

[sull]

a network can contain and present itself as a directory though.
but yes, i see your point.

For instance, http://revision3.com is a network because they have original
content partnerships.

but partnerships can also be made with aggregator/directory services.

Added value can be tricky because what adds value for the viewer may
reduce value for the provider.

Tivo and RSS-video-embedding are just two examples.  Content creators
don't like it, but viewers benefit from the features.

I beleive in "the customer is always right" philosophy.  The viewers
being our customers.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?

[Mike Meiser]

Well said andreas.

I love my $150 a520.  It shoots video just fine and is one of the most
popular camera's on Flickr.

It's cheap, effective, I don't have to worry about destroying it
because it doesn't cost much, and it's very portable and convienient
so I can always cary it on me.

Then again, those xacti's are looking pretty cool to... but I'll
almost certainly stick with something a little more photog focused.

The other thing about shooting on the cheap is it saves in other
places too. Smaller videos are easier to edit and transcode, and take
up less hard drive space and are therefore easier to manage. they also
take less time to upload to your server, and use up less bandwidth. It
also takes up less space on the Flash card so you can shoot more stuff
and experiment more freely. The bottom line is cheap and dirty is more
fun and easy.

I read recently that something like 99% of all digital camera users
never print their photos larger than 8x10 and most no larger than 5x7.
Of which 2 megapixels is more than enough resolution. There was also
an impromptu excersize, I think it was David Pogue where most people
couldn't even tell the difference between a 3 megapixel image blown up
poster size and an 11 megapixel.

I'm a fan of the Faux Press way of doing things. When you're just
communicating quick and dirty is always the best way to go.

HD is vanity.

But that just goes for communics... I think entertainment may require
a different approach.

On the other hand... some of these vlogs tend to be more like shows or
minidocumentaries. For example... what I wouldn't give to see all Bill
Streeter's minidocumentaries on the local St. Louis culture in HD.
Roller derby girls, regional semi-professional wrestling, minidocs on
local printmakers, musicans and artists.

I guess my point is... whatever is... most of us are not profeesional
photographers, most of us are not professional videographers... we're
not shooting TV shows, or hollywood movies. Or photos won't be
published as posters.

I don't know what HD video camera's are going for, but you can now get
an 8 megapixel camera for under $200.

So 99% of us will never use this extra resolution in video or photo,
but we spend dearly for it and it costs us in all areas from storage,
to editing, to uploading time, to bandwidth...  and for what reason.

Sure there's a few people on this mailing list whom could consider HD,
but it's a falacy.

My suggestion would be screw that crap, go for the features. Go for a
better optical zoom. Go for a higher ISO, better shooting at low
light. Go for the ability to shoot more video and experiment more.
Megapixels and definition are falacy.

Finally... this is why I love the mobilvlogging and phenom... it is
the epitome of the quick and dirty approach. It counteracts, is the
antidote to, the falacy of HD and resolution.

The tazer incident at UCLA (it was UCLA right?) illustrates this.

I always liked that Jan of Faux press, one of the people among us who
truely knows the value of fidelity and whom works on high budget films
and documentaries uses as her everday instrament of vlogging a video
phone. And it's exactly this approach I'd recommend.  The old one two
punch. :)

Sure... for your "studio work" or professional go ahead and use HD
cam, but just remember to leave that camera at home and carry around a
cheap phone cam, or cheaper xacti, or some compact camera like any of
the low end digital camera that shoot video.

It's the content, that rules... the meat of the post, the words coming
out of your mouth that contain the meaning... not that one can see the
mole on your ear.

Oh! One final suggestion.  I've found that it's not the resolution
it's the size of the stage, the footprint on the screen.  I think
there's a strong preference for video about 500pixels or more wide...
but it has nothing to do with resolution. It has to do with sitting
back a little from the screen and relaxing the eyes. Taking the
average 320x240 video and embedding it at 500 pixels wide is a great
trick. The eye cannot percieve every single pixel at 15 frames a
second. I think this would be the most useful think I can recommend.

My approach is more of usability and accessibility. So.. perhaps that helps.

Or maybe it's just rambling. :)

Peace,

Re: [videoblogging] Network2 - Some Changes

[Michael Verdi]

I'd say good job so far.
Don't forget about posting people's licenses. Also, even though you make it
opt-in don't forget to let people opt-in to new stuff down the road like ads
on pages.
And what's up with that forum spam?

Re: [videoblogging] Sundance in Second Life

[Nathan Freitas]

No need to wait for Sundance, you can come watch some great original 
filmmakers today :)
We've just launched an on-demand screening room for a few films by 
Brooklyn-based Fritz Donnelly.

You can read all abou it at http://openvision.tv/blog/?p=111

The two films, *Double Mastermind* and *Clone War 3,* are two extremely 
unique and highly amusing shorts . Both 
films happen in video game-like worlds with teams of characters battling 
out their shared destinies - not so different from some of the events 
during the recent clone war of Second Life 
 or the 
plots of the Battle Royal  series 
of films from Japan.

Bringing film and video into 3-d virtual worlds provides an experience 
that is much closer to "real life" than just watching a streaming video 
in a web browser. Through Second Life, Cruxy can provide a simulated 
screening room that brings back the feeling of watching a movie as part 
of an audience - complete with snide comments, communal laughs, and the 
occasional annoying guy walking in front of the screen. I've had the 
pleasure already of watching Fritz's films with a number of visitors 
from around the world, and really enjoyed being able to talk with them 
in realtime, while eating our sim-popcorn.

SL also allows us to experiment with new forms of merchandising like 
handing out props and outfits worn in the films. That's my avatar, Nat 
Mandelbrot, in the "clone orange" jumpsuit doing my best imitation of 
Fritz' doomed characters.

Best,
   Nathan
  aka "Nat Mandelbrot" in Second Life

Re: [videoblogging] Network2 - Some Changes

[sull]

Good to hear/see, Chris.
Keep it up.

This list is very opinionated and influential.
The expressed opinions here over the past few years+ are valuable and i'm
sure has steared at least some start-ups in the right direction.

The forum spamming bit i hope also gets squashed if under network2's
control.
There is not much worse than that kind of littering of artificiality on the
net.

I think Jay Rosen and Phil Shapiro could use some input from the vlogosphere.

In his demo movies, Shapiro gives some interesting compression advice
among other things.

The idea and process of giving / conducting online digtal interviews
is one I've played with a bit and as Rosen says, the video interview

quality.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool

[sull]

exactly, michael.

network2 aside when others have come here talking about building a new
directory/portal/guide and so on... i usually say.. hey thats sounds fine
and dandy... welcome i hope you add value and not just wrap your new
site with ads etcetera.

granted, "adding value" can be a new discussion in order to figure out what
that can and should mean exactly.  its certainly not just about launching a
web based socialized content aggregator.

i agree with richard about blip.  but also remember that they only show what
is hosted by them, not what is hosted elsewhere on the net.  that's in their
interest but it does leave open opportunities for net wide aggregatory
services and the ones that add at least some level of value to the
community of content creators should always be appreciated.

so, let's talke about 'added value'.

Oops I worded that sentence very badly, didnt meant that spam could be
a useful thing, but that other forms of publicity etc can be.

[Steve Watkins]

Yes thanks for listening and, crucially, starting to act upon this debate.

On the technical front the progress made so far is good. The 'show the
persons license' issues I waffled about is one of the hardest things
to fix straight away because there are some technical issues, and
issues of many creators themselves not wanting to explode their brains
by getting into the legal smallprint. So I wont be overly pushy on
that one, as other parties need to help provide a solution to this stuff.

On the persoanl relationship building opt-in front, I sincerely
believe that both you and content creators can only gained by this
change, who knows what opportunities may arise through an increased
emphasis on this stuff at an earlier stage.

s for that spam issue I raised that hasnt been responded to, I guess I
will stop going on about that unless I see signs of it happening
again. I run a forum and forum-spam is a plague, viral-marketing
through genuine word-of-mouth is one thing, artificial recreation of
this phenomenon is a terrible idea for any entity selling a real
product/service.

[videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool

[Steve Watkins]

Well I feel their potential value for creators is along the
publicity/promotion side of things at the moment (not knowing what
future feature/services they may have planned). I have little doubt
that there are many creators of episodic show stuff that can benefit
from this stuff if its done the right way.

Now unlike hosting services that stuff isnt a 100% necessity to
actually being able to videoblog/whateverucallit, but if you look at
the traditional media Ive long said that not all of their power is
eroded by net delivery of content because 'people knwoing you exist'
is still something mass media can achieve rather well. The net has its
own technology-driven methods of making people aware of content, but
traditional publicity is not irrelevant on the net (depending on your
aims).

With this in mind the actual value network2 can deliver to its
partners will come down to how well a job they do of promoting the
site and those who grace its guide. If I were a content producer Id
care about how they did this as much as how sucessful they were, hence
my concerns over the spam issue, but I dont doubt it can be a useful
thing.

Nice.  You may find it easier to just make the vlog name -- which is now
plain text -- the site link, instead of a separate link to the side.

It's great to see you respond with such fervor to try and adapt here..

It's funny, because I sorta tried warning Jeff that this reaction was
inevitable.. (if you recall our discussion when we met at the nyc party, it
very quickly led to this issue).

Either way, you guys came out better for it, because you just demonstrated
that you're listening to the community.

Best of luck and happy holidays,

RONEN!

[videoblogging] Network2 - Some Changes

[[chrisbrogan.com]]

So, we were working like crazy today to address concerns you've raised
through here, EvilVlog, and in private emails. 

First, thank you. Thanks for your discussion, for your passion, for
your interest in keeping the community strong and vibrant. I
appreciate your conversation, your input, your thoughts on everything.
It's been really good having more minds in the conversation.
Collaboration can be very helpful. 

Here's what we've done today towards making it better: 

#1) Opt-In - We've posted that we're going to fix this. We'll move to
opt-in, and we'll continue to reach out to people we've added, and
make sure everyone's okay with our effort. We'll work fast on this. 

#2.) Permalinks - These fell off in the relaunch, but what we did
today is even better, I feel.  Check out this page as a sample: 

http://network2.tv/episode/2098608/  (an episode of Batman Geek)

We've included a big fat "Visit Website" next to the show name. We
display the Original Post, the Original Media, the Visit Website link
again over to the right. We've put the original blog post underneath
the video screen (though it looks like we have to tweak presentation-
whoops), with yet another link to original post. 

We've removed the "Comments" field because it might be confused to be
similar to a blog comments field, not a show review (what do you think
of Batman Geek) field, as we'd intended. (We're open to better ideas
how to work that field). 

If you think this is a step in the right direction, let me know. We're
working our head off to make sure people's concerns are addressed, and
that we're doing right by the majority of folks. (Can't please
EVERYONE, but I sure don't want 2451 enemies). 

ONE NOTE: Our developers have the next two weeks off, after logging
several 90+ hour weeks. The rework we've done today is all I can get
through until they've had lots of beers and sand. Please bear with me
on that. 

Best to you and yours,

you are correct sir..  ;)  In cincinnati, the bell here is laying 
fiber to promote an "alternative" to Time Warner, etc, but they are

[videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?

[Bill Streeter]

Yeah I agree. As near as I can tell though, the service that most of 
the telcos are rolling out is a set-top box that just substitutes 
the cable part ot cable tv with a telco internet connection. The 
service and content they will(or are--in test markets) offer will be 
basically the same as what you get from digital cable--same old 
channels, same old content etc. I don't think that consumer media or 
micro media or video blogs are even on their radar.

[videoblogging] The Whitehouse is Vlogging (and Podcasting)

[Jan / The Faux Press]

I love this.

Whereas a few minutes ago I was not in the holiday spirit, I am now,
thanks to BarneyCam, the first dog's videoblog.

Here's Barney's 2006 Holiday video:

Here's the page with all the feeds: http://www.whitehouse.gov/rss/

The Whitehouse is podcasting and videoblogging

Aaah.

Cool.

Vlogging's arrived.

Peace.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: RSS as Relationship Tool

[Richard (Show) Hall]

I agree with almost everything Andrew says below, in spirit,  (I say, in
spirit, because I don't know Jeff Pulver or Chris Brogan), especially with
respect to the importance of net-neutrality being central in 2007 ...

However, one point I would disagree on - Andrew said ... "As more and more
online video content emerges, no one has yet  surfaced as the entry point
for online serial content besides iTunes which is not apt for democratic
inclusively. I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to
Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2 ... having the best of intents
and heart"

Personally, I would substitute blip.tv for the "Jeff Pulver and Chris Brogan
with Network2" part

IMHO ... Blip has the ideal philosophy with serialized content, based on the
idea that blip is there to aid and facilitate the creator in disseminating
in the widest and most open possible way, with no effort, on blip's part to
own or brand the content as their own ... plus I have come to know a lot of
the blip people well and I can't imagine than anyone else could beat the
team at blip.tv in terms of "having the best of intents and heart"

... Richard (the blip fan)

[videoblogging] Re: I was Attacked by NYPD ~ Wanna Watch?

[greg]

I posted the video also, but I did not have much comment.

The video was part of a three part "series" I posted.  The first video
was Henry Rollins ranting about how "They" are coming for you and your
rights.  Your video was posted to "prove" that Henry actually knew what
he was talking about, and that the thing he was waring about actually
happend to you.   The last video I posted in the same vein was the Josh
Wolf interview from GETV.

Anyway, I too thought that the video spoke for itself, and taken in
conjunction with the other videos I posted in the same entry, I felt
that it spoke for it's self.

If you are interested, you can view the post at...

[videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?

[taulpaulmpls]

Yeah, going through the same decision.  24p or HD.  Can't we just have
 both on the same camera for under $2k?  :(  Maybe someday.

My brother shot most of his short films using the DVX, and it looks
fantastic, but the stuff out of the HC1 and other Sony HD cameras
looks wonderful in their own way.

Holy hyperbole! There's a lot of stuff there that makes me cringe, but
I've had experience with this one:

"Turn your editors and writers into television celebrities. How to include
Internet television content to magazine, newspaper, and online media
Websites. Traditional media Websites without video content will be obsolete 
overnight."

It's true that online video is big in the magazine world, and it makes sense.
I've made some cool videos for a magazine trying to make their editors
into web personalities. Suffice to say, just because you're a good print editor
doesn't mean you can be engaging in front of a camera. 

In fact the biggest mistake this particular magazine made at the outset was
in trying to be... television. They finally realized that trying to look like 
TV was
(a) way too expensive, and (b) ended up looking like bad television.

[videoblogging] Re: Are You Recommending HD Cameras Yet?

[Joshua Paul]

Are you still watching videoblogs? Does it really matter that  
Galacticast (or, insert favorite vlog here) isn't HD?

I completely agree that HD is beautiful, but I have yet to experience  
it at home day in and day out. But in the end, I personally am more  
interested in the content. I've heard some people say they could  
watch paint dry in HD. To which I say, go for it.

I'm still pretty close to the tv industry - I own a software company  
that caters to it - and most of the projects are just now migrating  
to HD...and they're not shooting 1080p. We've had a difficult enough  
time trying to figure out production workflows with 720p and 1080i.  
I'm not sure how long it'll take to figure out and adopt 1080p.

What I'm interested in is what happens in the next 3 years. The new  
thing being pitched is 1080p. The problem is, who's broadcasting it?  
Will all the networks agree to it as the "standard"? Some are using  
720p, others 1080i. If they do agree, how long will it take them to  
switch? Finally, how does all of this play out with RSS as a  
challenger for a delivery mechanism?

Negroponte (Meiser, thanks for the lead) refers to HD as 'stillborn'  
in "being digital," http://www.amazon.com/Being-Digital-Vintage- 
Nicholas-Negroponte/dp/0679762906> because of the speed of the  
television industry vs. the speed of the computer industry. He also  
discusses about an experiment by Russ Neuman where people viewed the  
same video, on the same equipment, where the only difference was the  
quality of the audio. His discovery? That the better audio changed  
people's perception that they were viewing a higher quality image.

Personally, I've decided to keep my money in the bank until it all  
plays out.

On a side note, I helped to produce a HD pilot for a major tv network  
in 2000 (it didn't get picked up). I remember how we marveled at the  
fact we could see raindrops on the windshield of a car, and could  
actually read the numbers on a police officer's badge. This is back  
when we were learning about producing using the "new" format, and  
found out about such issues as audio noise related to fans in the  
camera turning on after a certain period of time to help cool the  
CCDs. Try tracking that one down in the middle of a shoot! :-)

I find this list of points to be spot on as the primary concerns.

I think FireAnt, Network2 and vlogdir/vlogmap serve three different  
types of purposes and each can be treated differently with regards to  
these questions.

I was just emailing with Jeff Pulver and it sounds like he previously  
had the foresight for exactly all of this and may have already  
changed some of it.

As more and more online video content emerges, no one has yet  
surfaced as the entry point for online serial content besides iTunes  
which is not apt for democratic inclusively.

I'm going to give the 'most likely to succeed' award in 2007 to Jeff  
Pulver and Chris Brogan with Network2, Video on the Net and Pod-camp,  
for having emerged basically just this year with these projects,  
shooting up overnight, and having the best of intents and heart (for  
I have gotten to know both this year and this last point is the very  
strongest quality behind everything).

Before I hop off my support-wagon here, most importantly for all of  
us, I expect 2007 is going to require a major battle with Net  
Neutrality.

This battle has already happened before when audio transmission over  
the internet had become democratized.

"On February 12, 2004, Mr. Pulver's petition for clarification  
declaring Free World Dial-up as an unregulated information service  
was granted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). . .   Now  
referred to as "the Pulver Order", the ruling provides important  
clarification that computer-to-computer VoIP service is not a  
telecommunications service. By doing this, the FCC delivered a strong  
signal to consumers and capital markets that the FCC is not  
interested in subjecting end-to-end IP Communications services to  
traditional voice telecommunications regulation under the  
Communications Act.

In otherwords, having co-founded Vonage, Jeff fought to make sure  
stuff like Skype could be free. Even Apple voice chat and podcasting  
would have been at risk.

With regards to tomorrow's internet, Pulver has been hot on the case  
and may be one of the best positioned people to help keep internet  
video transmission free as well.

I sent them a tape.  I even put it in the mail the day they needed
stuff in by.  So, in other words, I sent it late.  So. who knows?

I also posted my own "war on the holidays" post/vlog/whatever...

http://blip.tv/file/117202

I edited it in iMovie, letterboxed it (a.k.a. "added vanity bars"),
and towards the end sped it up/slowed it down.  In iMovie I got some
nice quasi-comical fast/slow audio.  But when I rendered it out as a
Quicktime,  those sections came out silent.  I can't be arsed (quaint
Scottish term) to re-render it, but for future reference, if anyone
knows if there's any hierarchy of effects in iMovie (and specifically,
will one result in silence on another...) please explain

Also... does anyone on this list recieve it as an digest in GMail, use

[videoblogging] Re: Time Magazine's Person Of The Year

[mark raheja]

from deep inside the echo chamber, it's hard to disagree with 'us'  
being Time's People of the Year.

but to state the obvious: the main reason this is the case is because  
we scare the living crap out of *them*, specifically.  we scare the  
living crap out of them because their business model is at risk.  no  
cultural/informational/socio-economic phenomenon has ever been as  
hyper-relevant to the people who make this annual decision as this  
one.  in fact...if anyone watched the CNN recap of Time's choice for  
2006, you'll remember a part where about 40 people are sitting in a  
room and one of them points out the irony in celebrating the very  
people that are threatening their jobs.  [paraphrasing...the internet  
has stolen my memory...]

Kim Jong Il may be one threatening dude [unless you've watched Team  
America: World Police], but he ain't as directly threatening to the  
owners & staff of Time Magazine as you are.

I don't begrudge the balls-out amoral excitement folks get once they figure
the value of homemade motion picture content. Been there. It's frighteningly
heady.

Either Pulver and his crew will 'get it' or not.

Why wouldn't these feed-aggregating folks want to share the wealth with
their content creators? Why not?

It will be greed that makes them keep everything to themselves.

Had a conversation with Jen (one of our in-house social scientists) recently
about greed. She says it comes from infant worry about having enough teet to
eat. Makes sense on some gut level, that.

Fact is, there's more than enough mama's milk, content, housing, meaningful
work, energy and love for everybody. But until we understand that, there
will be folks who hoard.

Get over it.

What about all the "other" sites out there that are just "taking" 
peoples feed?  Like blogtelevision.net, the last time I checked my 
feed was there along with porno.good quality stuff there I tell 
you..my point is  with all of these sites popping up for every 
one that you know about there are probably 100 more just taking your 
feed, embedding it on their site and taking your stuff.  At least 
Network2 and a few others are trying to reach out.  Yes in a perfect 
world, opt-in would be the only way to go, but it's not and by the 
fact we have "public" feeds we will always run the risk of someone 
taking our stuff they link back and don't host which is a big deal to 
me..as for ads.well, need to think some more on that..
