Re: [videoblogging] Re: How do you explain that ?

The remix is certainly my highest compliment (both given / received).

Inspiration is priceless.

How to monetize the priceless? Oh. Darnit. I didn't mean to change the 
subject.

Media literacy. Listen to directors' / writers' commentaries on those 
DVD's. Read criticism. Watch movies more than twice, once with the 
sound off just for the shots / edits. Be engaged when watching and feel 
what the media says to you physiologically.

Just riffin' in sleepy mode.

Sweet dreams, y'all.

Jan

Susan, this is the truth. I realize that I am in the habit of watching 
FireANT instead of evening television! It's just so different, and different 
is good. I watch one right after another, rarely stopping to leave comments. 
That's not saying I never do, but it's getting more and more rare. I just 
love watching videos and getting to know people through their videos.

Your videos rock, btw :o)

2005-10-16 Thread Susan 
Hmm... well, I would say the opposite.  My vlog is open to the 
public, and I'm lucky to get one comment a post.  (Then again, read 
the other thread on females to get an idea of why I don't get 
comments...) My regular text blog is closed to the public--less than 
50 people have access to read it--and I get lots more comments there.

I think tools like FireANT that allow people to view vlog posts one-
after-another tend to curb people from making comments, because they 
can just sit on the couch and watch all the vlog posts without having 
to touch their keyboard.

Want a funny visual?  Susan, sitting on the couch, crocheting a new 
winter blanket, with her laptop on the coffee table, and the day's 
different vlog posts playing their way out on her screen while she 
works.
