I've placed a phone call to them and expect a call back first thing
tomorrow morning (it's already 7PM in New York and it seems like the
responsible party has gone home for the day). I'll be calling back
first thing tomorrow if I don't hear.

We'll take care of this to the best of our ability, just as we always
have before.

If MyHeavy doesn't take them down, we can always contact the advertisers.  I
may be of some assistance with Cing.

How many of these kinds of 'businesses' can media creators handle and  
still participate and/or eek out a living?

How many of these kinds of 'businesses' can Mike & Blip take on from  
a legal standpoint?

How did the clowns that run Myheavy.com get a buy in from Cingular  
for advertising?

This looks an awful lot like astroturf to me.

I love these group projects.  In this case I'd suggest actually uploading
them there though, rather than relying on their using Blip much longer.
I'll bet that won't continue long.

I don't know how many of you like to look at other people's home office
setups, but I love it.  My pics do show a little of our recording area
(audio), but for camera work I just stick a tripod up so I didn't include
that part.

 

Anyway, if you are a voyeur like me, maybe you'll enjoy viewing my home

[videoblogging] CBS Just Joined With Sling

CBS Deal With Sling Lets Users Upload TV Content, Legally

Beta Test to Begin in Second Quarter 2007
By Abbey Klaassen 

Published: January 09, 2007 
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- One of CBS CEO Les Moonves's big announcements as he
assumed the keynote stage at the International Consumer Electronics Show
today included an invitation to viewers to steal snippets of his network's
programming and share it with friends online. 

The invite comes via a beta test with Sling Media in which Slingbox owners
can clip content from live and recorded programming, upload it to a
public-facing web portal and share it with the world. 

Signifies major shift
It's no stretch to suggest that a year ago this would have been every TV
executive's nightmare. The move signals a realization among major media
companies that they can't stop the YouTube effect -- people are going to
post their favorite content clips online anyway. It's a kind of "if you
can't beat them, join them, legally" philosophy. 

Quincy Smith, president of CBS Interactive, admitted that sometimes new
solutions can come from unexpected places, including those that media
companies may have previously pegged as disrupters. "We think this new
capability, if done with consideration for content owners, is intriguing and
worthy of study," he said in a statement announcing the new test. 

A Slingbox device allows viewers to "place shift" TV programming. The box,
which is the size of a brick, attaches to a TV and sends live and recorded
programming to a PC or laptop with Slingplayer software loaded onto it. To
"clip" a show, a Sling user simply streams a program to a computer and then
indicates where they the clip should start and stop. While the procedure
sounds confusing, it's easier than the current process of uploading TV clips
to the internet -- to do that, viewers must have video tuner cards in their
PCs and software to capture, encode and upload the clip. 

Ad model unclear
Key for CBS will be the advertising component of the deal. Every clip that a
Slingbox owner nabs and uploads will fall into a pool of inventory that CBS
can sell against. The business model has not been finalized, but could
include a revenue-sharing agreement -- CBS could sell the bulk of the ads or
split the inventory; CBS might sell some of the ads against the clips and
Sling might have a portion to sell others. 

Mr. Smith came to CBS two months ago from Allen & Co., an investor in Sling,
so he was familiar with the technology. Sling, meanwhile, launched an
entertainment group a month ago, headed by former MTV digital chief Jason
Hirschhorn. 

Mr. Hirschhorn's group has been charged with building a community around
Sling, making it more of a platform than a piece of hardware and creating
"out of the box" experiences (Mr. Hirschhorn's pun). 

'Perfect accounting'
And he points out that while doing such a test might be scary, "clip culture
is a reality." While media companies are striking deals with companies like
YouTube, viewers are also uploading their own clips, and it's difficult for
media companies to know exactly how many clips they have up at any given
time. 

The Sling test creates "perfect accounting," said Mr. Hirschhorn. "You know
exactly what's there." 

RE: [videoblogging] Amanda gets tasered at CES

[Robyn Tippins]

It takes a REALLY long time to get a large company who doesn't yet
understand the importance of stuff like that to get it done.  I'm impressed
they're interested in videoblogging at all.

 

I've had a similar experience with a large company not understanding the
importance of open comments.  When they finally 'got it' they went up, but
until then I was a squeaky wheel.  I'm sure she'll convince them to use
permalinks eventually.

And not to flog (taser?) a dead horse, but really what is up with that

Anyone please care to post your $ stats or number of ad click-throughs from
your
clips on blip? (with blip blend, pre, mid, post rollers)

My blip stats show maybe 300 "views", only ~10 post-roll "impressions".

And no clicks for $.

I'm not in it for the $ but enough to buy a sandwich would be welcome.

Can anyone make some comments on video click-thru rates?

You can survive by not sleeping the entire week, going to every party (which

Most of the known blogosphere goes, podcasters, vloggers (now gamers), and
tends to be 
THE save-up-your dough conference of the year.

Keep your camera with you, on, at all times, gobs of tape and charged

Off the top of my head, the N800 has a faster processor (330mhz), additional
memory (though the 770 could be easily hacked to have comparable memory -2g
I think).  Both run linux and there is a good community of people who
develop for the 770.  The 800 will have a similar community, no doubt.

 

It's not a full-fledged UMPC, but it's close.  For a real UMPC, you could
look at the Samsung Q1 or possibly one of the nicer models from TabletKiosk.
The tabletscape (like the blogosphere but tablet afficianados) is a great
place to start looking for reviews on devices like this.  I've watched at
least 3 unboxings or full out reviews of the N800 this week and last week,
so if you need some help locating some videos let me know.  The video blogs
from some of these guys are amazing.

 

Take a look at the LG KE850:

A friend of mine bought the N770... that's the small handheld tablet

I'll have to check out the specs on the N800 and see what's new.

The only problem I think it has is that noone knows what to do with
it. There aren't any clear use cases or models... you can do all sorts

RE: [videoblogging] Re: [video_vertigo] iPhone

[Robyn Tippins]

Tim, 

 

I didn't even think about the video conf through gtalk, but I probably
should have.  I agree that its probably useless as no one else video chats
via gtalk yet.  I also rarely find someone who can vid chat thru Skype.  If
you ever wanna chat, I'm Duzins on Skype.  

 

What did you think about the camera in general?  If I considered this it
would have to replace something I carry, possibly my phone or my mp3 player,
but I don't think it even has the capabilities of phone, I mean other than
Skype.  The mp3 player replacement is a possibility.

I actually played with the N800 over the weekend at the Nokia store.
Its built-in videoconferencing over Google Talk was pretty cool - by
far the best feature, though I still can't even find enough people to
do videochats with me via Skype or iChat (anyone?). And it has nice
video playback, audio, and a very sharp web browser (it seems like the
screen has at least 100-dpi resolution). I couldn't help, when
pulling out the stylus, thinking of Steve Jobs' dismissal from the
MacWorld speech, something to the effect of "nobody wants a stylus."

It all looked pretty but the interface was decidedly not intuitive. I
was actually stumped for a little bit trying to navigate around, a
definite learning curve on all the menus, which were Windows-like, and
a bunch of buttons on the device that are not clear at all as to their
use.

Ultimately, it's not a laptop replacement or a phone replacement --
it's yet a third device to have (or fourth, if you carry a MP3
player). So, for all its slickness, it may unfortunately go the way
of the Newton, which also had a stylus, I believe.

p.s. I still have, and love, my Newton, which works, though it's more
a museum piece than anything else. Confessions of a Machead.

RE: [videoblogging] Re: [video_vertigo] iPhone

[Robyn Tippins]

de to do a lot of things, but none of them extremely well.
It also is not useful unless you have wifi, and wifi access is NOT
dependably findable when traveling. This limits its use to non-critical
applications. I guess this is all to say... it's an evolving class of
applications yet. One day it very well may be a killer device... but we're
still way to early I think. It's still ahead of its time. Just my opinion.

There is one final observation I have.

I've been running around saying this like a broken record.

It's about personal communication.

The iphone, and indeed nearly ALL the killer apps so far lie in the realm of
personal communications... and at the very least with the iPod in the realm
of personal media. Nearly every function on the iPhone is a communications
feature... the only ones that aren't are about personal media. i.e. my
photos from iphoto... my songs... my videos.

That apple sells TV shows, or movies... is really incosequential to this
device... I doubt people will watch to many films or tv shows on the
iPhone unless of course it plugs into the TV. ;)

Even podcasting and videoblogging as early an iteration as they are fit into
this sliding scale of personal communications and media. They're somewhere
less personl then my photos, but somewhat more personal then tv shows and
movies.

The point is... personal communicaitons and personal media are the killer
class of apps for personal computing... after all, can you think of a many
reasons to have Word or Excell in your pocket?

The pocket space is slowly getting figured out.

I would like to set up some of the FlashMeetings for people to

examples, Casey and Rudy could talk about how they came about with
Galacticast, how it's been going, future plans and such. People could
ask question about animation techniques and such. Bre could talk
about his philosophy of making and modifying objects. Michael Verdi
could talk about freevlog and the projects he's know involved in. Jay
Dedman could talk about the history of videoblogging and the new
things he's doing like swajana.com. And so forth. 

I think that format could make those FlashMeetings valuable and
interesting. I'm thinking the Saturday FlashMeetings would be good
for this since people are likely more available to come in on
Saturdays rather than the Tuesday FlashMeetings. This would probably
not be every FlashMeeting, only ones where people setup to present. 
What do you think?

RE: [videoblogging] Re: DVD hacking?

Not speaking to the copyright issues, only the technical ones, my
understanding is that a DVD is a finished file, and is certainly uneditable
on the disc. Many have software that prevents easy burning as well.  

 

You can play it on your machine and capture the video in real time in a
program like camtasia studio.  As to reading the subtitles and indexing the
clips in that way, I can't imagine that it's possible.

Dear Videobloggers, 

Currently I am trying to understand if it is possible
to go inside the programming of a DVD to edit the
film. Is that possible?

Next what I would like to do is find the program which
tells the DVD which subtitles to play. I want to be
able to then edit the film segments I want and index
these segments via the subtitles. Is that possible?

The aim is to take the legal portion of a film (10% or
less - I imagine) for educational language learning
purposes. I would like to put the subtitles index on a
website (private - not public) so that students can
click on a subtitle and see the film segment and view
the context and content of the said subtitle.

Any suggestions or advice are welcome.

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have signed with Federated
Media to handle all of our advertising.

We're really excited to be working with John Battelle and the crew
over there. They've got a great track record and really seem to be
author friendly. Most importantly we will still be able to advertise
in a way that doesn't interfere with our show.

I'd like to thank Mark McCrery at Podtrac and everyone at Revver.com.
They are truly pioneers in the videoblogging space and they allowed us
to pay our rent for the last six months. And they remain a great
solution for those building an audience.

On a separate note, we're also in the midst of a massive store
redesign, thanks to our agreement with Amplifier.com. We'll finally be
able to ship all of our merch internationally and be able to upgrade
the quality and diversity of what we offer.

[videoblogging] large companies that are sponsoring user-gen

[Robyn Tippins]

I'm speaking on user-gen and I need to know some large companies (especially
older brands) that are sponsoring podcasts/videoblogs.  I have a list of a
handful now (Dove, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, BMW, etc), but I know
there are way more, right?

 

Who else is there?

RE: [videoblogging] Nokia N800 again, and UMPC

[Robyn Tippins]

Steve, do you have the Q1? I really want a camera on board. I am trying to
decide on the model I want, though all of them at Dynamism are attractive.
I have roughly $2K to spend, but if the Q1 will do me, I'd rather save the
$1K.  Plus, Intel's releasing one in April so I could use the dough I save
to buy it and have two.

Subject: [videoblogging] Nokia N800 again, and UMPC

 

I was just looking at the latest software update for the N800 and was
amused by this, in light of the iPhone hype...

"Improvements in finger usage

Improvements in dialog selection when using the Nokia N800 Internet
Tablet with fingers and not the stylus pen."

I was also delighted to read this:

"The Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is based on Nokia's desktop Linux
based Operating System. The Maemo development platform was launched in
2005 to provide Open Source developers with the tools and
opportunities to create innovative applications for use on Nokia's
Internet Tablets. Users of the Nokia N800 will be able to benefit from
a wide range of third party applications. "

Now as the N800 isnt a mobile phone, its not totally comparable to the
iPhone, but when it comes to open development they put Apple to shame. 

So far Ive only heard about the camera being used for live video chat,
so I dont even know if you can record clips with it. So I suspect this
device isnt going to be as vlog-friendly as perhaps some other
N-series Nokia devices, but time will tell and hopefully Im totally
wrong. The 800x480 screen sounds very nice.

As I have some sort of portable device fixation Ive tried various
other devices, and have a UMPC. In practice Ive found even the most
rudimentary mobile computing to be a bit painful - its amazing how
often a proper keyboard is missed, how often you want the screen to be
much larger (but the device be smaller), how things being slow feels
even more painful when done on the move, and how rubbish battery
performance still is for many devices. Im hoping much progress is
made, but Im unsure really how things will work out. Certainly well
designed software could help, but Im not holding my breath.

Unfortunately my UMPC is the samsung one without a camera, although I
could plug a USB webcam into it. So if anybody happens to have any
questions about the UMPC platform, feel freee to ask. The price and
battery life are all wrong at the moment. Its certainly a better
weight and size than a normal tablet PC, but isnt pocket-sized so can
seem annoyingly bulky sometimes. I think its only really worthwhile
for people with specific needs, who travel a lot. And the size of the
device makes me unsure whether its really a good basis for using as a
camera, when pointing at anything other than yourself.

Cheers

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Nokia N800 again, and UMPC

[Robyn Tippins]

Steve, 

 

Thanks for the offer.  The main thing I wanted to know is if I could record
a video on it and then do some editing and upload from the device.  Sounds
like an ideal bring-a-long for whatever you are covering.

 

One thing though, I have a Verizon Bluetooth cell and they have blocked
dial-up-networking (unless I hack the phone).  Has there been success in
getting a Verizon cell to work with a UMPC via Bluetooth?  I had to buy an
EVDO card for my laptop for this reason.  Clearly a PCMCIA card would not be
available on a machine that is only about 4 times wider than it is LOL

Yes its the original Q1, I know there have been some small changes to
newer versions of the Samsung but nothing major.

Im a few month out-of-date with all the models that are out there,
still very early days and my dullest most sensible advice is to wait
as long as possible to see what else appears. If one exists at your
max price but with what looks like all the features you need, then id
be tempted to get it, but like you say you could just get cheapest one
available and get another later.

What sort of thing are you hoping to do with the camera? If there are
any apps in particular that you are hoping to run on the UMPC, I'll be
happy to evaluate them to see how well they run, and how easy it is to
interract witht hem, using the Q1.

Apart from hardware issues, the lack of widespread use of UMPC's so
far, means that theres a lack of software thats been tailored to the
platform, ie tweaking it for the lower res and finger/stylus input,
although I havent actualyl found any compatibility issues that totally
stopped an app from running, they are pretty standard PC's in most
regards.

Im thinking that the biggest leap in spec in the future maybe when
sold state disks are used rather than harddrives, I think samsung have
a version with a 32GB flash drive instead of hard drive, which should
help with speed, ruggedness and battery life, but the price is
absolutely crazy for the forseeable future.

They do make simply lovely video-playback devices but Ive yet to
evaluate whether video recording and editing ont hem feels good at all
or whether it will prove to be painful.

Im not clued up as to common USA fast mobile internet options, but if
you have a phone with net access and the right capabilities, you can
attach it to the UMPC via USB or Bluetooth and use it as a modem for
net access where wifi is unavailable.

Im looking for an excuse to make a few videos that dont require me to
think too hard and get stuck in my usual perfectionist-loop, so if
there is anything youd like to see running on the Q1 just say the word.

Cheers

Steve

RE: [videoblogging] Blogger Question

[Robyn Tippins]

Moving to WP is surprisingly easy.  I moved at the end of 2005 and it was a
breeze.   That'd be my suggestion, if it's something you are planning on
doing anyway, rather than mucking away at a template at this point.  IE does
crazy things to a page, so it's a pain sometimes to get them to look
similar.  For instance, IE shows text a good bit larger.  IE has trouble
with transparencies (this depends).  

 

Good luck.

This may be a repeat email from last year and the year before that, 
but I encourage everyone to consider SXSW.

I have been on quite the conference circuit and hands-down, SXSW is 
the most fun. Its very social, very informative, its a great town and 
a great season to be there.

Check out the list of speakers here, you will see its quite a to-do:
http://2007.sxsw.com/interactive/programming/speakers/

If anyone is discouraged by the cost here are a few tips:

1. You wont need a conference pass if you cant afford it. There is 
plenty going on and plenty of people to hang out with.

2. There are a lot of parties, free sessions, etc.

3. There is also an Austin barcamp that is going on at the same time 
and anyone can attend and speak there for free.

4. On Craigs List Austin, type in SXSW and you will see you can 
sublet an apartment or crash a room for next to nothing in price 
(compared to hotels).

5. Its cheap to fly to Austin from many major cities.

Rocketboom has never hosted a party before but this year we are 
teaming up with 30boxes and Satisfaction to host an official SXSW

[videoblogging] ze frank keynote at affiliate summit

[Robyn Tippins]

I covered the Aff Summit West in Vegas January and I was underwhelmed with
the presence of videobloggers.  Looks like that may be different at Aff
Summit East.

"Ze Frank (pronounced "Zay"), the keynote speaker for Affiliate Summit 2007
East, provides a truly entertaining and yet insightful look at how
technology and creativity intersect, especially in web design, marketing and
new forms of media. "

[videoblogging] thoughts on this?

[Robyn Tippins]

 

http://www.marketingvox.com/archives/2007/02/19/advertisers-seek-but-cant-fi
nd-enough-online-video/?rss1 >

 

Advertisers Seek but Can't Find Enough Online Video

Despite marketers' desire to buy ads within online video, they are having a
tough time expanding into the format, reports
  Advertising Age. http://adage.com/digital/article?article_id=115049 >

Interested buyers are reportedly saying limited inventory, specifically
content created exclusively for the web, is one factor that's holding them
back. Also, the audience for web video is, to date, too fragmented to meet
the needs of buyers looking for significant reach. The lack of a single
model for the buying and accounting of video ads is also cited as a
contributing factor.

The dollars for online video buying are expected to come from television
budgets, but until the online audience expands some marketers appear
unwilling to make that shift. Estimates have buyers spending just 10 percent
of their TV budget on streaming video by 2010, with most of that money going
toward professional content from mainstream media.

Bolt Media CEO Aaron Cohen says if independent producers are going to tap
into serious advertising dollars, there needs to be effective syndication of
content that can bring audience reach to niche videos.

Even so, the lack of a universal rating and measurement models continues to
be a stumbling block to advertisers who need to justify their expenditures.

I agree with all three of those points. The inventory is very limited
as far as content that they can use for their purposes. It's not that
there aren't tons of videos. There aren't tons of videos that they
feel they can guarantee a ROI on.

Part of the reason for that is #2, that the audience is too
fragmented. People that frequent youtube are the main audience for
youtube videos, but not necessarily any other videos. Same thing for
Revver. Same thing for DailyMotion, etc. There's too much selection
to be able to guarantee that a certain number of eyeballs are going to
be on such-and-such video. If you can't guarantee the viewers, you
can't persuade the companies to buy advertisements on those videos for
any worthwhile amount of money.

Even if you could guarantee the eyeballs (views), there are a lot of
different ways to place ads on or around videos. There's no guarantee
that if someone sees the ad, they're going to click on it. If it's a
post-roll ad, there's no guarantee the person's going to watch the
video all the way to the end. Except in a very few cases, most of
which we know about already, there's nothing that will allow
advertisers to justify making the deals they want to make.

Even if you have the eyeballs on a video, there's no way to quantify
the demographics. If a video gets 100 views and 50 of them were from
8-year-olds with no buying power and no interest in clicking on
lawnmower ads after watching a video of a kid falling off of a
skateboard, the client isn't getting ROI, and the advertiser isn't
doing his/her job properly.

A lot of the behind-the-scenes of television is testing. 
Understanding the demographics. Understanding what group is likely to
watch your show from 8-8:30pm on Tuesday night. If you know a bunch
of 30-somethings are watching syndicated Seinfeld episodes (from the
data you collected in testing), you know who to go to to sell
advertising time... the companies that have products to sell to
30-somethings. You can't do that [yet] with the internet, because
there's no telling who's using what computer, and there's no telling
how many times that same person watched the same video. With
television, you know how many people watched the shows because they
all have accounts with the cable company. Maybe they all have special
boxes that take account of when they watch what and report it back to
a particular agency.

If you can't quantify the audience, you can't justify the $$,$$$
expenditure to your client. No sale. The reason Super Bowl ads are
so important is because so many people are GUARANTEED to be watching.
The ROI on the money spent on A) creating the ad, and B) buying the
air-time right before Prince performs live makes the whole proposition
worthwhile for everyone involved.

RE: [videoblogging] Vloggercon? (was Re: Tuesday FlashMeeting)

[Robyn Tippins]

Heath, I'm with you.  I like what NetworkTV is doing for finding videoblogs,
but some type of a standard way to find things, perhaps tags, would be cool.
I like that there are blog search engines.  I'd love to see a video search
engine.  I guess there's Truveo.

I would like to see a "better" way to find vlogs, right now you can 
use tags and such but it is still hard to find vlogs that you might 
be interested in. Maybe creating groups within the communities that 
host video? or something similar to Amazon where you 
get "recomendations" and such. 

I'll keep thinking.

Yeah, more 'how', less 'why' this time.

Great idea Randy, I'd love to see a session on RSS, how, why future, 
etc. (another tie-in to vertigo?) I think a big problem with RSS is the 
speed of the adoption of changes/advancements. Education via these 
types of sessions would increase awareness and the more people know and 
understand it, the bigger the creative pool will be.

The 'town-hall' style of the sessions last year did kick ass. It would 
be cool to have folks from companies that consume and produce rss there 
to talk with those attending, a big brain-storm/education thing.

Slightly on the subject, I use Adobe Premier 1.5 and I don't see H.264 as an
option.  I see H.262 and H.263, but no H.264.  I have considered upgrading
to 2.0, will that give me H.264 as an option?

RE: [videoblogging] Vloggercon=BarcampUSA?

[Robyn Tippins]

Am in an airport (SFO) on a shaky EVDO connection, but quickly I know that
we have a 10 megabit connection and a huge space.  I'll get the details and
get back to you when I land.  

 

Quick question, why can't we do a Video Vertigo at BarcampUSA?  This may
have been mentioned well, but I missed it.  More later,

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Joomla versus Zend PHP for Web 2.0 community

[Robyn Tippins]

I've used Joomla, and from the point of view of a relative novice, Joomla
was a breeze to setup. I installed the bridge and created an SMF forum that
sat quite nicely in the middle of the Joomla setup.  The contacts were all
in the same database so there was no need to have people sign up for the
Joomla site and the forum, it was very easily integrated.

The Community Builder add-in was a boon as well, as many people are
developing (free and cheap) for this module.

It is hackable, as I was hacked on Joomla and they got into all my sites
through this hole (they were on the same server).  However, once hacked I
hired a Joomla security expert and for $50 solved this issue.  It took him
about 5 minutes to fix it, and if you are more adept than I, you can even
find the answer on the forums.  I think he had to create a file and place it
on the server and turn editing off on a few files.  Was not a big deal at
all.

Drupal would be another I'd suggest.  Wish I knew more about the other two
platforms you mentioned.  I mean, I know Ruby is hot and people seem to
adore it, but it's WAY over my head so I'll stay mum on it.

Good luck!

Yep, I'd suggest Blip or Podtech.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: live video streaming

[Robyn Tippins]

I've used uStream and it worked well.  I have also done Quicktime Server
w/Quicktime Broadcaster, which was a breeze as well.  I tried uStream for
streaming video into SecondLife (for the main BlogHer sessions this year)
and the company we were using for our build in SL could only accept
Quicktime files (not sure if that's a SL thing or just per this company),
but QT Server/Broadcaster was perfect.

uStream has not let me down either, so I could easily recommend either of
these.

Re: [videoblogging] live video streaming

[Robyn Tippins]

Sorry, didn't mean to give out false info.  Didn't realize I said it
was free...

The cost was paid by the company hired to carry the stream though, not
by me.  I was just paid to videoblog so that could explain my
confusion.

Off to flog myself mercilessly ;)

Re: [videoblogging] Macbook Pro...

[Robyn Tippins]

I have a G4 with 2 G ram and an Intel mac also with 2 G ram.  I can't
remember how fast my G4 is, as I rarely use it, but the Intel mac has a 2.16
Ghz processor (dual core of course).  Anyhoo, it's more than fast enough for
any video I do, though admittedly I'm not really doing super long or super
complex videos.

I always pooh-poohed the response that video editing was faster/easier on a
mac until I got one.  Now, like the Monkees, I'm a believer (did I date
myself with that reference?).

I can't help you with specs, but I can concur that I love it, love it, love
it like David.  I'm saving up for the AIR now.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: McCain on Blip = a Shame

[Robyn Tippins]

I'm also a 'stakeholder' by that regard and I am for McCain.  I wouldn't
call Obama, nor his campaign, a thug, no do I consider McCain, nor his
campaign to be a thug.  We learn by seeing all the viewpoints and I wouldn't
want Obama's speech hampered in any way.  How can I be proud to win if it
came at the high cost of someone else's liberty/freedom?
Politics is divisive, and many of us are never going to agree, but I support
Obama's right (and smart) use of new media, as I support McCain's (though
his use of new media is usually less inspired).

Agree to disagree.

I would really appreciate it if someone would go to this post:

http://richardhhall.org/makemediatv/?p=15

Try and download the quicktime file and tell me if it goes REALLY slow.

(You don't have to download the whole thing, I just want to confirm that
it's going REALLY slow.)

This has been a problem on godaddy for the last few weeks, and I know it's
time to switch all my links to blip but, for now, I have some files I need
to get off there and I can't even download them and haven't put them on blip
yet and I don't want to go through all the compressing and everything again.

I found this to be true on my dsl at home and on the t1 at the university,
and I called godaddy and they said it worked fine on their machines.

Please test and let me know.

Hi All,

Today I came across a teen who had written a suicide note on MySpace:



At first, I thought it was a joke - just a teen looking for attention.
But when I clicked on his profile and read some of his blog posts, I
began to realize that it may be real after all.

It turned out it was real. And he was overdosing on pills. Rick Rey, a
fellow videoblogger, called the school and the authorities handled it
from there. Just a few moments ago I received an email from one of his
friends saying the kid was alive and holding on in the hospital.

My question is... What should the protocol be in instances like these?
You see a suicide note on a social network site and you feel
completely helpless. Luckily, Rick scanned the page enough to notice
the school info, but what if there had been none? 

I feel like there should be a little box on all these social networks
that say "in case of fire, break glass." A red button of sorts. But is
that getting into a whole gray area?

How does one ensure that young people are physically safe? Can the
buddy system/top eight be more useful when things like this happen? Is
there an alarm?

Just thinking out loud. Thoughts?

Carl,

I think you're being a little naive about this. These videos are PR, 
and yes every president engages in this sort of thing. But it's more 
than a little off putting to a lot of people to see someone as 
criminally incompetent and as corrupt as Bush put out such crap to 
soften his image. Meanwhile there is a war raging in Iraq that he 
started with no good or legal cause, and under false pretenses that 
is responsible for the deaths of thousands of human beings. The man 
belongs behind bars where he can do no more harm a long with all the 
other neo-con jobs in his administration. And those are the facts no 
matter what whacky drug addled conservative jack-off on the radio 
tells you.

It may be a parent's 'responsibility' but don't we want to help when people
need it?  Even if someone is failing, does it mean their child should die?
Or, what if the child has just been abused or is abusing drugs?  Whose fault
then?  And, then, sometimes kids or adults have mental issues that make it
not anyone's fault, but an issue of illness.  Either way, whether it's a
parent's fault, or not, don't we want to help them not die?

I really think a child's actions are the parents responsibility. If 
you see a child get caught stealing something in a store, who does 
the store want to talk to?

Now stealing isn't suicide but just because it is really really 
horrible doesn't make it less the parents responsibility to know 
their children.

No, I'm not suggesting that.  I'd hope everyone would do like these guys
did, but I know most wouldn't (not judging this list, but the general
population).  I just think the 'break glass in case of emergency' is a good
idea.  I'd think the person that would get the memo on that would be the
people employed by the service.  

Perhaps the person who was hired to police porn on MySpace could do it.
They certainly aren't doing that job so they must have free time.

Sure we would want to help them. In this case someone did, in other 
cases someone didn't. Are any of you willing to quit your job to 
patrol myspace (or any other social network sites) for suicidal kids? 
How about just take one week off of work and devote that to looking 
for someone you can help. That's a lot to ask, how about just 1 hour 
a day... 1 hour a week? 1 a month?

Sure some will say yes I'll commit to that, but for how long? How 
long/much will you sacrifice yourself to help others?

For someone that would actually do this... Great!!! Keep in mind, I

I really think a child's actions are the parents responsibility. If
you see a child get caught stealing something in a store, who does
the store want to talk to?

Now stealing isn't suicide but just because it is really really
horrible doesn't make it less the parents responsibility to know
their children.

Yikes, that is big news.  

 

If Wells had anything to do with the current state of Disney online, I'm
impressed.  I think most sites could take a cue from kids' sites to see what
engagement really means.  I've, more than once, gotten stuck helping one of
my children with a game or activity, only to fight them to stay on it.  Most
of these kids' sites are now offering 'make your own video mashups' and you
wouldn't believe the number of 'mashups' my kids send to my email.

RE: [videoblogging] A question for the group...

[Robyn Tippins]

I go back and two between enjoying the fact that people recognize my name
and then feeling a little weird when I get those bizarre emails from people
who know just a little too much about you.  One lady last year asked if I
went to _ church in my town because she'd like to get to know me a
little better (she was right, btw).  She also knew where my kids went to
school.  I also had an IM fan who harassed me for a time last year.
Sometimes it's rather creepy.   As well, a blogger I know just deleted her
email and web domain because of a stalker.  But, with proper controls this
kind of stuff can be handled.  My kids are on heightened security at school
and church and they can't even carpool or walk out class w/o permission
either place.  Also, their picture isn't allowed to be put on the web or
newspaper through their school.   I took measures to pull my address off of
everywhere I know to remove it.  Hopefully I'm a little more secure than I
was last year.

 

I do rather think it's neat that our lives and such will be chronicled so
well for future use.  I was a history major in college and I can't help but
think that what we are doing now will be a boon to those given the task of
understanding what life was like in our age.  If history interests you I'd
recommend IClaudius' vidcast.

just "weird"? 

To think that maybe 100 years, 1,000 years from now, someone could 
watch me, see my life, my ups, my downs, my trips, my friends, my

mean I was running in the street with scissors or doing something else 
goofy, showing my house, my street, etc but I didn't want anyone to

Last year, while doing some genealogical research at the National Archives,
I had the chance to listen in on a conversation about which medium was the
best for archiving records. A National Archives worker said that their
research showed that in order of durability and longevity it was: 
* stone - last forever but not practical.
* paper - we have papyrus documents that are two thousand years old,
and medieval manuscripts that are five hundred years old that are still
readable. The problem with paper is that it is too fragile.
* Microfilm / microfiche - will last for decades even when in constant
use, good for a hundred years.
* Electronic media - standards and software change so fast it can
become unusable in less than a decade.

My former employer decided to move all their documentation (procedures,
schematics, etc) to electronic media and thrash all the paper copies. In
less than five years they found they had WordPerfect files they couldn't
open, and Adobe dxf files that wouldn't open in newer versions of AutoCAD.
The engineers on board the USS Ronald Reagan are having problems with the
later today.

I wonder if the programs we record today will be viewable in ten years from
now never mind a hundred.

What makes you think that? Look around your house / work for digital media

support the formats of years gone by? No? Mine neither. We'll be the
generation
that leaves a whole pile of digital info behind when we are gone, but most
of it
will be useless. Even if the machines exists to view the info, all the media
(CD/DVD etc) have built in obsolescence. It's very unlikely that today's

will survive 100 years into the future. Having said that, it doesn't mean we
can't have fun creating it now. J

RE: [videoblogging] Re: Can't link to Webcast if copyright owner objects

[Robyn Tippins]

Just playing devil's advocate and having no experience with this particular
situation (as I could not find the link to the example on the news story), I
can't help but feel like they are describing almost splog-like behavior.

 

A site that links to your file, that subsequently pops up in a window
launching a player, keeps them on the splog's site and offers up your
content as if it is theirs, w/no link to your actual site?  

 

Normally I would say a hyplink can't be protected, but a hyperlink to a file
only feels almost like pissed I get when I see someone hijack an RSS feed of
a podcast and pass it off as their own.  Of course, maybe I am
misunderstanding this?

"A federal judge in Texas has ruled that it is unlawful to provide a
hyperlink to a Webcast if the copyright owner objects to it."

Generally speaking, that is bullshit. Hyperlinking on the Internet
should not be governed by any court.

The article says that supercrosslive.com "had been providing direct
links to the live audiocasts of motorcycle racing events."

Of course CNN wants a page link because it contains advertising... But
direct links should be fine. Anyone should be able to link (not
necessarily embed) any file that is public on the Internet.

Specifically relating this to RSS, I think it makes "hotlinking" more
accepted because there is an inherent intention to syndicate the
original content.

All this is becoming so common that I doubt the courts will be able to
keep up for much longer. I hope the continued development of
AJAX-like applications will eventually break down these out-dated laws.

Check out this (4-part) article...
http://www.andykessler.com/andy_kessler/2006/10/media_2uhoh_in_.html
