[videoblogging] Re: any vlogers in new orlens?

[Troy LeMaire]

Hey Everyone,

I created a section for Hurricane Katrina on the VLogList.com 
forum.  So far I posted my Hurricane Outerwall video which is on my 
blog and on the main page.  I also got in some pictures today of 
Grande Isle and Port Fourchon, which are directly on the Gulf of 
Mexico.  If you look at Louisiana as a boot or foot, then this is 
the area that would be the front part of the ball of the foot.  This 
is really devistating and there was alot of power in the storm and 
the water.

Grande Isle is home to the annual Tarpon Rodeo, which brings in 
yachts from all over the gulf south.

Port Fourchon is the place where many people leave to go out to oil 
rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.  It is known by everybody who has ever 
had anything to do with the oil field.

Re: [videoblogging] Webcam for Windows XP?

[Troy LeMaire]

I have the Logitech and it has a built in Microphone. 
It is a good quality webcam.  The only thing I would
say to make it more professional of a video, would be
to get a camera that doesn't have a built in
Microphone.  An external microphone will make the
sound more adjustable.

Also, for some reason, it makes me look more bald then
when I look in the mirror.  I don't know if this is
the webcams fault.

Re: [videoblogging] if you saw a rss feed on hunting sponsored by john deer

[Troy LeMaire]

It depended on the content.  If it was about using
John Deere ATV's then I would have no interest.  If it
was on the proper way to use a duck call and the
comparison's between the different brands of duck
calls, I would probrably subscribe.

The matter of being offended would not even cross my
mind.  It is all about the content to me. 
Commercialism of VLogging is inevitable, in my
opinion.  Call me a sellout, but I am sure you will
find much bigger sellouts within 2 years in the
VLogoSphere.

Hey Everyone,

I went ahead and posted the link to my Vlog entry on my main page, I 
am just about to put it in my Blog.

http://www.VLogList.com

As I stated before, the file is big(18MB), so if you have any 
suggestions on compression, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Troy

Hey Everyone,

I just went make a video off from my camera about the look of Katrina 
where I am located, the file is huge 18mb.  I don't have any 
compression software yet, so my question is, is this video too big to 
put on a vlog?  I am on Windows 2000, so the AVID software will not 
work.  Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

[videoblogging] Re: business week article

[Troy LeMaire]

I don't see a red flag, but I do see some possible short term growth 
pains.  Even with the technology side covered as you speak of, it 
won't be an easy road.  But, if you plan your @ss off, like it seems 
you are doing, then it will be that much easier to get over this 
short term growth hump.

It really is interesting to see the birth and growth of a technology 
while still being able to hear from the actual people who are 
creating the revolution.  I would compare it to being able to listen 
to the thoughts of Marc Andreesen or Jerry Yang back in 1994.  Not 
saying that you are destined for anything, but it is an interesting 
time.

[videoblogging] Re: Money Talk

[Troy LeMaire]

I won't flame, I appreciate the link to the other group.  You could 
have been a little smoother in your delivery, but it's not like you 
cussed someone out.

Jay,  maybe it would be good to put up links in the "Links" section 
for other Yahoo Groups that are geared toward VLogging.  This is the 
second group I learn about that is more of a niche discussion on 
VLogging.

[videoblogging] Re: Veoh Networks Announces Financing - Get ready to upload your video

[Troy LeMaire]

Sull,

Do you see either hardvlogs or softvlogs, as you put it, pulling the 
majority of revenue.  To me, after the VLog Market/Genre matures, it 
will be hard for people with the low res videos to not join up with 
some kind of network like Veoh to produce revenue.

While I have been viewing blogs lately, I have seem some amazing, 
artful post, but I think, how will this eventually bring in revenue.  
Sure, some people will not be interested in becoming rich, but 
eventually the cost of posting are going to catch up with them

[videoblogging] Re: press releases

[Troy LeMaire]

Well, personally, I will never forget the discussion that started when 
I announced what I had to offer.  Short term it s*cked, but long term I 
came away with some really great feedback.

I definitely realized quick, how not to do things.  I find it 
interesting the point that Clint made.  For a discussion group sometime 
it seems very open, but sometimes it is a very closed off place.

my 2 cents

[videoblogging] Re: VLog Category

[Troy LeMaire]

Sull,

First off, money is not my motivation.  I could earn alot more money 
by concentrating my efforts on my 2 retail sites.  So, this still 
goes to question, what is my motivation.  

Well, my motivation is to build something.  I know it is a cliche, 
but in "Pretty Woman", when Richard Gere is asked what does he build, 
he is dumbfounded for an answer.  This is how I feel sometimes.  I 
suck at carpentry, I suck at most things mechanical, so my only 
option is to build something in the virtual world.

Steph,

I don't know what is going to seperate me from the rest.  My goal 
right now is just to create a good community and portal site for 
VLogs.  I guess I need to look at the steps it takes to arrive at 
this point.

Thanks for the feedback from both of you, it is much appreciated.


Troy

[videoblogging] Re: Disclosures, disclosures

[Troy LeMaire]

Hey Everyone,

Most people will already think that they know my disclosure, but as 
with alot of things on the internet, it is a little misleading, but 
in a good way.

Yes, I formed a directory, but not because I see big money coming my 
way.  I have 2 retail websites and a full time job that provide more 
than enough monetary incentive.  I have been wanting to form a 
community of some kind for a while, something that will not be about 
money, that I can keep up with.

When I saw the community of VLogging, my business mindframe saw the 
business potential immediately.  Not from a exploit perspective, but 
from a business tool perspective and helping others perspective.

Currently, my boat is broken, and I have no idea how to break it 
down, I hope in a couple of years, either the manufacturer or a  
VLogger, will put up a VLog on how to break down my motor.  Then I 
can carry an IPod or other portable video unit outside and watch a 
VLog on how to break it down.

This is the side of VLogging I am interested in, how to help people.  
How to educate.  How to help some guy in south Louisiana get his boat 
running so he can go out and catch some fish instead of sitting in 
front of the computer obsessively!!! Sorry, I got off on a tangent 
there.

My background is, born and raised in Louisiana, entered Air Force at 
20, stationed at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas for 3 years, then 
transferred to Colorodo Springs for 2 years, during the beginning of 
the dotcom era.  Do you know that Colorado Springs comes in 2nd to 
Silicon Valley for most amount of CS majors per capita?

Got out of the Air Force and moved back home.  Currently a IS Manager 
for a hospital.

Troy

[videoblogging] VLog Category

[Troy LeMaire]

Hey Everyone,

While I have been adding links to the directory, I have noticed that 
there are many VLogs that are dedicated to Political or Religious 
subjects.  I see both of these niches growing because of the 
Grassroots of Politics and the Visual Aspect of the religious VLogs.  
So, my question is, should I add these categories to the directory or 
leave them categorized as General?

I am also thinking of adding this question to my forum as a poll 
question.  Since I am already on this ice, is it appropriate to post
a 
message here that I have a poll setup on VLogList?  Just let me know, 
since this is a great resource and feedback avenue for me, I don't 
want to abuse anybody's time or email.

Troy
