[videoblogging] How do you find vlogs in another language?
Hey all, In the months leading up to the VlogEurope 2008 conference in Budapest (Oct 18.-19.), one of the main topics I will be looking at myself will be "findability". I have written about this in an European context here: http://www.vlogeurope.com/blog/2008/04/23/how-do-you-find-european-videoblogs/ How do you find videoblogs from around the world, or the country next-door? A few years ago, VlogMap (www.vlogmap.org) was really useful, but it has since turned out not to be that useful because - well - the database is not very populated. Searching for "Finland" or "Hungary" on Youtube, Dailymotion, Blip, etc doesnt help much either. A few years ago, in connection with his presentation at Reboot 7, Loic Le Meur started this wiki for European blogging which I have consulted now and then: http://www.eu.socialtext.net/loicwiki/index.cgi?the_european_blogosphere - it always helps to have a few first sites in your target language to look at first. If you are travelling to Peru and want to see if there are videobloggers from Peru active - how would you personally go about finding them? Best regards, Raymond M. Kristiansen www.dltq.org <http://www.vlogeurope.com/> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] FEEDBACK NEEDED: Space and Logisitcs For Vlog Europe 2008
Hey all, First of all, thanks to Jeffrey for doing the research on this. Does anyone who have more experience fom Budapest have other suggestions? I think the idea of having a communal space where we meet is essential. In past VlogEurope sessions we have had clusters of people sharing space, and it has added greatly to the experience of the whole event. The reason why we want these things to be settled already now months before the event is that it enables us to get better deals as well as ensure that our booking does not come so late that everything is occupied. My personal hope is that we can have 2 such clusters settled within a short period of time, and that as we get people filled into the hives, we can begin working on the context of the weekend, finding not only topics to cover this year, but also presenters, and a way for the different 'sessions' to lead to something being created (which was a focus introduced during the 06 VlogEurope in Milan). We will be filling the VlogEuerope blog with further information and discussion about topics and ideas over the coming weeks, that is at www.vlogeurope.com So again: If you have better suggestions for spaces in Budapest, please let us know. And yes, of course you are free to just choose your own hotel/hostel that weekend. We will not Force you to eat your breakfast while 8 other people are filming your face :) Best, Raymond M.

[videoblogging] VlogEurope 2008 date and time suggestion
Hey all, Some of you might have heard of VlogEurope. If you have not, VlogEurope is an annual informal gathering of videobloggers from Europe and friends from outside Europe. It has so far taken place three times: September 2005: Amsterdam, November 2006: Milan, September 2007: Heidelberg. This year we were hoping to let VlogEurope take place in a more central- or Eastern European setting, and after Loiez (www.loiez.org) suggested Budapest, we thought: Yeah! Budapest fulfills our mentioned and often stated intention to move things east, it is cheap to get to, cheap to be in and we hear of many good times there. The date of such a "conference" is always tricky. After requesting feedback from our community, we concluded that October 18th and 19th, Saturday and Sunday, are the best dates with hopes that as many people as possible can be in Budapest Friday night. October is in the climate-friendly autumn, squarely situated between the summer and christmas'y travel plans that you might have. If you have any feedback on this, you are welcome to leave them on this mailing list, join the Vlog Europe Yahoogroup ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vlogeurope), leave comments on our blog entry (http://www.vlogeurope.com/blog, or e-mail me or Jeffrey Taylor (thejeffreytaylor AT gmail.com) personally if you have questions or comments We'll be coming out with further details on what we ourselves envision the event to look like within the next couple of weeks. Be sure to get the word out to anyone and everyone who would be interested in coming to the event! Best regards, Raymond M.

[videoblogging] the end of dltq, the beginning of something else
Hey all, I remember well when I first got into videoblogging, and I joined this mailing-list, and I got to know so many people who were doing interesting things with videoblogging. This was in late 2004, and the movement was still relatively small then. Today, if we can even talk about a "movement" anymore, it has grown much bigger. There are thousands of people on this mailing-list, and sites like youtube, blip.tv and others have given the regular people opportunities for mediation that we could only dream about years ago. Almost from the very beginning, one of my main interests related to videoblogging has been "political videoblogging". As in: How does videoblogging change politics? Does it change it? If so, how? Who is the agent behind this change? How could political _organizations_ use videoblogging as a sort of knowledge management? A way to remember political processes and make politics seem less of something just for people in some ivory tower. A way to connect with the people in ways that you simply cannot do through the main-stream media. In mid 2005, while I was doing some videoblogging experiments within my political party in Norway, I was quoted as saying this in a bbc online article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4229698.stm): "Today in Norway, many youth are feeling disillusioned with politics," says Kristiansen. "They feel that politics is all the same. And if I can interview people, put them online, it lowers the barrier." I have since in different ways probed this question. How can politicians, or NGOs, or others, communicate with - for instance - the youths in a way that becomes authentic? Is more authentic than the broadcast model of putting on that suit, the mask, and talking for 30 seconds in an elevator-pitch about X important topic. On my personal vlog/blog, www.dltq.org, I put out a lot of videos, most of them long and boring, some of them short, some of them innovative in some way, but too many of them just being fluff. Now, fluff is good and all, but sometimes we want to go deeper. So, last week I decided to end DLTQ, to end this site and to move on. My messages to this mailing list the last months has mostly been about political videoblogging. What is happening around the world today? What are the best case studies? What can we learn from whatever people are doing in the UK, Italy, USA or India? I received some tips, and I have also been exploring the current status quo of political videoblogging (including the various projects involving youtube), but overall I feel that I lack "the overview". There are a few great sites out there, like for instance www.personaldemocracy.com - but I often feel that such sites lack a true international scope. So I am currently in the process of preparing for my next site, which will not be personal as such, but a team effort. The domain is not ready yet, but I will give it to you once it is. So far we are two people living in Denmark who have committed ourselves to it, but I am looking for other partners, preferably in other countries and continents. So: Are you interested in the meeting-point of politics and new media? Are you interested in how mediated politics can change how civil society works and develops? Do you want to be part of a small group of bloggers that will deal with these and similar questions? Personally, I think it would be great if we could be 5-6 people from different regions. 5-6 people that could together edit a site that could add to the plethora of sites dealing with these issues. Part of the goal of the site would be to point at best practice from around the world. It would also be to publish our own video once a week with updates from whatever is happening, as well as interviewing some "regular people" about issues that matter to them. Something like "Ten Questions": http://www.10questions.com/ but with an international profile, and being a site that also goes "meta" a lot. Even though videoblogging is going "main-stream", we must remember that this is still about "the people". The individuals who for all kinds of reasons make movies and put them on the internet. Have a great day/evening!, Best regards, Raymond M. Kristiansen 2004-07: www.dltq.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] State of the art political videoblogging?
Hey all, In my last post here (*http://tinyurl.com/3ch2az)*, I wrote about public service vlogging. Thanks for all the responses - I will make a post on dltq.org about PSV soon as well as a follow-up message in here. In the meantime, I have decided to once again jump into political videoblogging (which is where my passion for videoblogging really comes from). This monday, I joined the Danish sister party (www.radikalungdom.dk) of my party in Norway (www.ungevenstre.no), and I am now setting things in motion to push things forward here in Denmark. For one main-stream account of the experiments we did in Norway in 05, you could read this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4229698.stm Since the parliamentary election in Norway in september 2005, I have not done much in this area at all, besides helping my friend Lars-Henrik Michelsen set up his vlog http://www.unvlog.org last year. So, since I haven't paid that much attention to political videoblogging around the world, my question is: What is the state of the art political videoblogging today? Who / what organizations are doing kickass stuff? In what countries have we seen videoblogging / internet tv / callitwhatyoulike really make a Difference in an election campaign? Oh, and I know about http://webcameron.co.uk/ - and I did watch the CNN / Youtube debates (which were not that revolutionary in my book, sorry), and I have seen countless videos from different presidential candidates in the U.S. But what organizations have really naturalized into using videoblogging as an integral part of their internal and external communications? What organizations have allowed for "granular vlogging" in the best way? (For one take on what I mean by granular vlogging, read this essay by Adrian Miles: http://incsub.org/blogtalk/?page_id=74 ) Again: What organizations are doing highly innovative stuff with political videoblogging? Where are the case studies or at least links to current "best practice"? best, Raymond M. Kristiansen yet another Norwegian videoblogger [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Public Service Videoblogging
Hey all, In TV broadcasting we have "public broadcasting" channels lik PBS (USA), DR (Denmark) or ZDF (Germany). You also have public service announcements in other media. But what about Public Service Vlogs? Within the vlogosphere, there are a diverse group of "green vlogs" that focus on individual efforts to reduce our waste and emissions, and we have other projects like "Alive in Baghdad" ( http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org) which is a collaborative effort over two continents. But: * *Where is the videoblogger who uploads video from a refugee camp in Darfur or Gaza, showing the world what life is like there and taking questions from comments on the site? Where is the educational videoblog that guides you through the jungle of NGOs out there that deal with development aid in countries such as Nepal or Uganda? Where is the videoblog that is your window to the world of a bunch of youngsters in Queens, NY, giving you the opportunity to interact with them and support them in their fight for more areas to safely hang out? Where are the videoblogs consistently giving updates from New Orleans as it is *today*? Wont it be great when governments and other granting organizations start to realize the potential for video on the net, aggregated through RSS 2.0 with enclosures? Wont it be great if Alive in Baghdad - for instance - could simply focus on creating independent, high quality work and not on where they will get the donations/funding they need? Do you know of any good videoblogs that you might term "public service vlogs"? Altruistic vlogs that deserve a wider audience? Please give your links here or as a comment on http://dltq.org/?p=88 Best regards, Raymond M. Kristiansen personal site: www.dltq.org co-organizer: www.vlogeurope.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
