Re: [videoblogging] ten videoblogs for national (womens') magazine, quick!
They have no idea! I think they first heard the word videoblog last week. So let's show them some great stuff, some stuff by women, some stuff that will get their mental gears turning. They're super smart and open to new things but just not familiar at all with the vlogosphere. I'm sure vlogs by women about womens' issues would be really compelling to them.

Re: [videoblogging] Technorati OPML ??
You said it! How crummy is it that iTunes inhaled the (OPML) iPodder directory, but won't share what they've got, too? It's a problem at the individual user level -- not being able to easily export subscriptions -- and at the community level -- walled garden directory.

Re: [videoblogging] Technorati OPML ??
Now, this tickled something in my brain, because I remember writing about it back when Technorati started doing reading lists. It's a pet peeve of mine when apps want you to input or import data but won't allow you to export data. I call such apps roach motels -- Your Data Gets In, But It Doesn't Get Out. Here's what I wrote back then, and below that is a response I got from Niall Kennedy, who wrote to me about it: February 22: http://blogs.opml.org/thisislisa/2006/02/22#When:4:04:51PM David Sifry of Technorati http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000423.html: I've been very intrigued by the possibilities around Reading Lists, and so we wanted to support them as quickly as possible in the most intuitive place as possible. /Exactly how does Technorati use OPML in its implementation of Reading Lists? Does it import OPML but export something else? Import and export? Who's played with it? / And here's the response I got from Niall Kennedy of Technorati: Hi Lisa, Technorati outputs OPML for its Blog Finder product across every blog finder page we serve. This feature allows people to easily populate an RSS aggregator with a list of feeds in a given topic. http://feeds.technorati.com/blogs/gardening?format=opml You may also download a listing of the most popular Blog Finder tags in OPML format. http://feeds.technorati.com/blogs/?format=opml -Niall Kennedy Michael Sullivan wrote: well, they support opml for the import or 'reading lists' but they dont seem to allow export. so as far as the favorites feature, they should at least offer opml export there. but i want more, i want to export a tag, even if i am only allowed to export the latest 50 or whatever from the tag. i'd like to see the option and since technorati is built around links, they could be more open by providing more ways to take links out without voodoo.

Re: [videoblogging] Technorati OPML ??
I'm not sure the OPML file would be so large. The OPML file would have a single line of text for each blog containing the RSS URL of the videoblog, along with some elements to make the OPML work. Let's imagine that each line of text was 1K (probably an overstatement, but makes the math easy). Then the OPML for 9,000 videoblogs would be 9MB. The problem wouldn't be the OPML file--but what happened when you tried to load all those videoblogs in your aggregator. Probably explosions, smoke, flame, toxic fumes ;) This brings up a good question, how to make lightweight directories of videoblogs. OPML would be a good use of that, because it's used to make outlines (like a tree structure). Each person could edit their branch of the tree. But we'd need smart aggregators to be able to move from branch to branch without downloading unless we really wanted to. (Forgive me if the videoblog aggregators already do that. I just got started again with FireAnt, which I like a lot. I had it on my old computer, but then that computer died an ugly death, and it's taken me awhile to get a new computer and get it all set up again).

Can it be that they do not support OPML? This is insane! If they did support OPML (to export the blogs being syndicated for a tag or whatever), the file would probably be HUGE (in most cases). Think about it. Technorati (and the other blog search engines) are indexes millions and millions of blogs, Potentially you could have enormously gigantic OPML files. (Maybe something like OMPL files that are 9000 GB in size.) And because of this, they probably thought that there is no point. (Even in the cases where there are very few blogs show up for the tag/search.)

[videoblogging] What camera should I ask Santa for?
So, what camera should I ask Santa for? I've got a pocket digital camera that I like, but it limits video clips to three minutes. I'd like to get a small digital camcorder, nothing too pricey.
