Re: [videoblogging] Mogulus Blip Import?
I had the same problem with importing my feed. As soon as the images pop in, you can cancel and the vid info stays there. Then they can be moved where ever you'd like.

[videoblogging] Re: Decline in posts to this group.
Hi Jay and everyone else on the list... I often tell the story of seeing your comment on my vlog that asked me to come over and join this list. 2004 It was such a huge help back in 2004 when we were just trying to figure out the best ways to host videos... You are right that it was al about learning how to videoblog back then. We were all watchiing everyone's videos. Think about that. Everyone on the list was watching every single video on the internet. ;-) Well, every single video blog... It was technically challenging... so t here were fewer people doing it. Links Clutter up the list with posts of here's a link to my most recent video of...: No way. We had RSS for that.. It's weird to think that it was frowned upon for people to point to their new videos. We were all watching everyone's new videos any way so cluttering up the list with pointers wasn't something that was done... Now everything has changed. We need pointers. They now pop up on twitter and friend feed. I always wanted FireAnt to let me see the popular videos that my friends were watching... Now it seems like we are getting that organically from a number of sources. Vlog It still irritates me when I hear someone say they posted a new vlog. They actually made a new 'vlog post'...not created a whole new blog to hold videos... but I'm getting over it... and understand that the video itself has become the vlog. YouTube It's also funny to look back at how we dismissed YouTube because it didn't allow access to the original QuickTime file or support RSS 2.0 with enclosures... Oops. Guess we missed the boat on that one. Exploring I'm still very excited about video on the web... New things I'm exploring are: - Live streaming via cellphone with Qik and other platforms. - Live broadcasting with Mogulus - Video conversations with Seesmic - HD video ( still wondering what camera to get ) I'm also still working on Citizen Journalism with Rocketboom and TheUptake... Along with that I'm looking into how all these technologies can be adapted by TV... So I think this is still a great place to talk about new technologies and new content... I surely couldn't have shared the above in under 140 characters... Meeting in Person It's always fun to see other videobloggers at events like SXSW too... I'll be at Podcamp Boston in July, New Media Expo August and Streaming Media West in September ... --Steve http://stevegarfield.com Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/stevegarfield --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are people vlogging more, but posting less? Are people leaving the group? Like me, have you become a lurker, not a poster? Did you loose interest in vlogging? Or, just don't have the time to keep it up? others spoke clearly on this. We started in 2004 talking about HOW to videoblog. the archives are interesting to read since you see that people were truly just making it up. getting video onto a blog was literally a hack. Now its easy, so no need to talk about HOW...though i agree that list list is a solid place if you have a videoblogging tech issue. we've made places like showinbox.tv/forum to discuss specific technologies. We spent a year or so talking about the business of videoblogging. it was interesting seeing all the money pouring into new companies offering videoblogging services. its still amazing to think that Youtube sold for 1.6 billion dollars. that excitement has died down. the hype is stale. Robert is also right that many people are using Twitter to post links. But as Andrew said, content content content. the technology is herenow what do we want to say? no more excuses. Id love to hear about videoblog projects that people are really responding to. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
[videoblogging] Video Defunct: a documentary project
Seth Keen works with Adrian Miles. He recently sent me this message about another evolution in his Video Defunct project. this uses web video to allow a story to be interactive. Jay I completed a new Videodefunct work recently that is more of an example of a traditional documentary subject. http://www.videodefunct.net/GlasshouseBirdman/ This prototype provides an example of how some of the factual stories being covered with video blogging could possible be translated into the VD system. here is my blurb on the project: The content is personal and intimate with the objective to produce an example that is accessible to a broader audience. In my previous television documentary practice, I tended to focus on socio-political stories that documented people in the location they inhabited. 'Glasshouse Birdman' documents a wildlife carer named Terry Dale who specialises in looking after native birds in Queensland. We recorded together his daily feeding routine and in an informal manner the documentation of numerous stories of his experiences. I worked solo with a single-chip domestic camera (that you hold in the palm of your hand) and a radio mic. (I wanted to keep the production process low-tech and accessible). -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] I Want My Vlog to Look Like a Porno Site
I truly want the same look as some porno sites. I want the visitor to be bombarded with video choices. I envision wall to wall thumbnails with random or categorized tagged video entries. The main page and the individual post page would both look the same. One main post and surrounded, wall to wall, with linked thumbnails to other videos. I have a library of 500+ videos (hosted by blip.tv) and each thumbnail shows the appropriate titl in the picture. I want a visitor to see other titles that tweak their imagination to watch. So here's the details. Currently in WordPress 2.5.1 database. Using the latest v.PiP viewer (and displayer). Ideally I would like to keep the database content and all the current comments. So... is this a pipe dream? Mike http://vlog.mikemoon.net
Re: [videoblogging] I Want My Vlog to Look Like a Porno Site
i don't say lol much... but lol i agree. not that i know what a porn site looks like, obviously. it's interesting - the Show In A Box template is a fantastic way to run a videoblog. but i'm fed up with losing perfectly good films into the void of the blog format. once they're not current, you lose them. the show in a box Related Videos plugin is supposed to address this. doing it manually is a lot of work - maintaining it, keeping it fresh. but i've been working on a new format for both Twittervlog and another site for aggregating all my work video projects, which combines Wordpress and lots of thumbnails. One solution I've come up with, which I think I'm going to go with, is having multiple columns, with a few different small embedded Blip players in them. All with different playlists. Would also work with Vimeo players, Youtube players - anything - but I like Blip's playlist guide features best. You can size them right down so they'll play right in your sidebar and make them link to a bigger version if the viewer wants. That way you can keep a Blog timeline *and* surround your videos with multiple playable thumbnails, which you can manage easily via playlists (or new Shows) at Blip. I've been playing with a 4 column Wordpress theme called Fjords. Each column has different types of videos - Just working out whether 4 is overkill! It's surely possible to give lots of choice *and* space with a regular 3 column WP theme.

Re: [videoblogging] Video Defunct: a documentary project
Daniel Liss also did an interactive video storytelling project for the ITP program at NYU. Looks really interesting.

Re: [videoblogging] I Want My Vlog to Look Like a Porno Site
You mean you want users to be directed to your videoblog without intending to go there after innocently following an unrelated google search link, scream as fifty other windows pop up with all sorts of things they had hoped never to see, try in vain to turn down the sound when suddenly a pitch for car insurance AND a recording of someone screaming during an intimate moment begin simultaneously, watch in wonder/horror as parts of their screen get replaced by little colored boxes, hit cancel over and over as would you like to scan your computer for porn and viruses NOW message boxes pop up in an endless loop, and then panic as nothing works to shut down the computer? :-) On 22-Jun-08, at 11:45 AM, Mike Moon wrote: I truly want the same look as some porno sites.
