[videoblogging] Winkball.com - new British vlogging service
I just found http://www.winkball.com They're sending reporters to events to get talking heads reactions to things like current affairs issues. Users are also recording their own To Camera vlog pieces. They say they have 829 video blogs on their site. Brits are less outgoing than Americans, and so have been reticent about vlogging - and only tend to do it through corporate channels, not independently. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv
[videoblogging] Winkball.com - new British vlogging service
Hello, I've been following this group for a bit and I'm glad to se it's very active. This is my 1st post. I'm building my 1st ever wordpress based blog on my own domain and I need some advice. I'm almost ready to post episodes/shows. I will post both video and separate audio files which I'll record. How do I get the audio files and video files to be downloadable? Visitors can watch but may want to download to watch or hear later. BTW, I'm not a coder...be kind, and Thanx. ps/ which is better: episodes or shows? opinions pleze. Tom Dolan tomjdo...@gmail.com

Gives a reason for people to interview others. Makes it less awkward. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

If you upload to http://blip.tv, they give you direct links to the files so you could embed the Flash player, and then link to a downloadable version as well. I think if you have a Pro account, they also transcode your video file to MP3. > ps/ which is better: episodes or shows? opinions pleze. No rules or template for whats best.

Thanx for the response Jay. I've been monitoring this group for awhile and I'm impressed with the (mostly) positive energy here. I appreciate your input. I do have a channel up on blip.tv and have only uploaded a test file to see if I could get it to work. It's been there for 2 + months while I've been getting ready to get real. I'll inform the group about the blog-n-channel when I get further along. Any opinions on tube mogul? Thanx.

Seems like a great option if you want to spam multiple video sites at once. http://heyspread.com/ is another one. It all depends on what your goal is. I'd focus on making the best videos you canthen worry about all the promotion etc. Steve Garfield just published a book called "Get Seen": http://www.amazon.com/Get-Seen-Secrets-Building-Business/dp/0470525460 He probably answers a lot of questions for the beginner on, well, getting seen.

Hi Tom, If you go for hte pro version of blip.tv you'll automatically get .m4v and .mp3 files generated from your uploads. You can then provide a feed for each type of file to your readers. I just did a presentation at WordCamp Boston today and my slides are over here it you want to take a look. http://offonatangent.blogspot.com/2010/01/get-seen-web-video-presentation-from.html Bottom line is that blip.tv can auto-post to your blog. Makes it so easy. I made a bunch of test post on my Wordpress.com blog. Here's one from blip.tv http://stevegarfield.wordpress.com/page/6/ You can see it provides Quicktime (.mov), MPEG-4 Video (.m4v), MP3 Audio (.mp3), Flash Video (.flv) downloads. Hope this helps. --Steve http://stevegarfield.com BTW, My book, Get Seen, is now available on Kindle! http://bit.ly/GetSeen I think THAT is pretty cool. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Tom Dolan wrote: > > Jay, > > Got Steve's book on my desk as we speak.
