[videoblogging] Site Promotion...
Hey guys, Just like to share with you all what we're doing to publicize k9athlete.com and ask for feedback and additional suggestions. It's not rocket science, but I thought it might be of interest to some on this list and thought that some of you might offer some good feedback. We're hitting facebook rather hard right now. --- Created Facebook Page --- Created a page for the site (which for some reason is not being found in searches, but that is another matter. I've posted development screenshots and informative articles from the site on the page and we currently have 61 fans. Not a lot, but not bad either for still being a totally closed development site. --- Created Facebook Application --- We're creating a facebook Application, Dog Sport Team of the Week that will highlight outstanding dog sport performances and allow facebook users to nominate someone for the title. It's our first, crack at this, but we'll be adding more as we get this one done. --- Hosting Weekly Online Radio Show --- I'm hosting a weekly dog sport radio show, K9Athlete Radio on BlogtalkRadio, and we're gearing up for our second show, whch will feature the president of a dock jumping organization and, crossing my fingers, an 82.5 year old woman who just got her MACH title in Agility, a very well regarded agility title, and a stunning performance from an 82 year old woman. --- Open Letter --- I've also written an Open Letter to Dog Sport Professionals that is posted on the front page of the site and will be going out to every dog sport list and site I can get my hands on. This is a letter specifically for dog sport professionals laying out what the site is and how it will work for them, and trying to get by the fears of conflicts of interest. No small task... It's also supposed to be my foot in the door in grabbing a couple more outstanding team members. We will be following up with an Open Letter to the Dog Sport Community for the dog sport community and An Open Letter to Dog Sport Retailers. Each will be posted on lists, the site and direct email. --- Online Video - need suggestions --- I will be doing some online video to publicize the site soon, but it's still a bit too early, and I'm not a big fan of myself in the traditional videoblogging role. Suggestions here would be great! I'm thinking of some pro footage, which I have access to, but not sure how to structure it. That's pretty much it. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated. If this is deemed not germane to the list, I'll be happy to take it off list. I just thought this would be of interest to some here. peace, Ron Watson http://k9athlete.com http://k9disc.blip.tv http://k9disc.com http://pawsitivevybe.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Feedburner is over, but
Mine's having problems. Looks like someone has set up a spam account on the new google version of feedburner for davidleeking. I have emailed google twice - I'm guessing they are dealing with lots of emails about feedburner issues. I'm guessing it'll sort itself out eventually (and in the meantime, I'll keep pestering them).

[videoblogging] Re: Use DivX to upload to YouTube for best quality
good tip Rupert, i'll have to try that. I often have audio sync problems with MP4 encoded in Episode. Far too often n fact. I wonder if it is a problem inherant to the codec. I'll be looking a this technique instead. cheers adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, ruperthowe rup...@... wrote: This is what YouTube recommend, but I've always ignored it and used an H264 iPod-compatible MP4 file exported from Quicktime/FCP/iMovie. But today the MP4 file I uploaded had an audio sync problem, so I thought I'd try DivX instead. I transcoded my MP4 to DiVX, and uploaded it - and YouTube transcoded it to Flash with better picture quality than the MP4 that I'd tried to upload earlier. Same resolution, same data rate, same size, but better quality in YouTube. Worth knowing. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv
[videoblogging] Re: Really Great Article on Media Trends and the Curation Economy
I have to agree with you. Until all of this media revolution becomes a million times less geeky it will only appeal to a niche audience. I wonder about a web technology like AJAX that not only loaded files, but an entire secure site, in a seamless layer over the current web page. So the experience for the viewer was uninterrupted and linear. No back button, or navigating away needed. also, until corporations or the military or the govt. have a use for this service I doubt it will see light of day. Unless there is some huge dividend for shareholders, who cares about independent artists making 2 cents on their site. cheers adam --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Brook Hinton bhin...@... wrote: on your site you have a little button that takes folks to another site where they buy credits - $ 5.00 or $ 10.00 at a time. Then they come back to your site, and click on a video that they want to watch, that costs 2 cents. Most non-geek/tech/online-most-of-the-time folks will give up if they have to go to another site then come back or deal with something like credits. To break through this sort of thing needs an interface that works for people who don't spend lots of time online and don't understand navigation beyond the back button and their bookmarks. I think breakthrough curation sites will use minimalist, simple designs and interfaces that can be mastered without thought by total novices. Your grandma who has only used the internet for yahoo mail has to not need to call anyone for help or look anything up, and feel totally confident that everything involving money is completely, utterly secure.
