Re: [videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
What I like is one video / week gives me structure. Usually post what I've got, and when I've got something, rush to get it posted just because the immediacy is a big part of what constitutes reward for the Faux Press. Just doing ONE a week means perhaps I'll slow it down for quality over quantity. Here's hoping. Probably not as I've got a buncha backlogged stuff from being off the grid for 2 weeks. That said, I'm in.

Because it seems that I am designated pimp, another message about Semanal. In just 6 days, 95 of us have joined the group. Most have already posted their Week 1 video :) There's a lot of great stuff to watch. It'd be nice to make it to 100 by the end of the first week, so if you haven't been there yet, come check us out. http://semanal.ning.com/ It'd be great if people keep joining throughout the year - as far as I'm concerned, it's the weekliness that's important (and the community) not whether people happened to find out about us in week 1. Much of my motivation in getting involved is about promoting and inspiring personal videoblogging, finding amazing new things to watch, and getting wider exposure and new subscribers. If we keep going this way, we'll have thousands of videos by the end of the year. Many of them intertwined, like in NaVloPoMo - that stuff is Gold. We have a lot of Spanish speakers and people who aren't regulars on this list - people I didn't know before. It'd be particularly great if we could keep getting videobloggers and artists involved from every part of the world, speaking many different languages. Do you know any videobloggers in Asia or Africa? French speakers, Arabic speakers? Let's push it out there! Get videobloggers on every continent talking to each other in video. We're not hardasses about defining the 'end of week 1', so don't fret if you haven't got a video ready now. Videos are being embedded in posts in the Ning forum as in Navlopomo at the moment, but we're still working on an automated centralised site and a Mefeedia solution. I promise I won't be post often to the forum hyping Semanal - this is just a week 1 update. /pimp Rupert

Then, when i commented on someone's vlog, this too would be something that would be syndicated and viewed across vlogs.

Thanks for the supportive message and sense of fun there, Paul :) It's only half about the regularity or the difficulty of doing 52 posts in a year. What happened with Navlopomo was that the presence of the challenge and the central point to focus our energies resulted in a lot of community spirit and inspiration. Immediacy, directness, personal connections. People riffed off each other and found they were doing things in ways they hadn't before. There were lots of benefits. And it's great to have a place where people new to vlogging can go and sample a number of people's work all at once. More exposure for all of us. As for Isn't this what vloggers do anyway - It's great that you find it easy to do 52 posts - but of all the videobloggers I subscribe to - around 112 - less than half post weekly. Others like me post regularly and then don't do it for a while - either because they get 'too busy' or because they get creatively hung up about something. Perhaps Semanal will help us over this hump. Since you do it anyway, come and join in. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/

Re: [videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
Actually the more I think about this ... the more I really think we as a community are cheating ourselves and folks like MeFeedia. It's not like this is an event that lasts for 2 days and/or is a last minute thing. We have a freakin year. ** Imagine what could be done with that year. ** Mefeedia is more than capable of tracking and displaying these videos for us. They can let us comment there in one place (if we want that) or back at the vloggers site as we please. Further they are eager to build out a social network and the features *we want* ... with a lil mini-community forming around this year long and somewhat casual experiment ... we could help them immensely with that - and thus help ourselves. Why don't we use MeFeedia for this (and all the while offer to them our feedback/wish lists/suggestions for improvements/etc)? They have always proven to be eager to provide what the community wants, and this seems to be right up their ally. With a channel at mefeedia its already all gathered up in one place automatically, we can comment on the items there, get listings of user activity for related videos, get recent video widgets for the channel ... all sorts of stuff. (See NaVloPoMo for an example: http://www.mefeedia.com/channels/navlopomo/ ) And if there some lil whiz-bang thing that MeFeedia cant provide right now ... well we have a year ahead of us - lets use this chance to tell them all of the things like oh this would be so much cooler if you'd add this feature ... I mean we can't complain about feeling like we always have to look for ways to reinvent the wheel if we don't give those who are trying to provide the tools we want a chance to actually do so. As so many have pointed out in this thread - this isn't anything radically different than normal vlogging. Our Feeds and Aggregators can carry the weight, and we shouldn't need any REVOLUTIONARY functionality to make this work here at day 1. MeFeedia can already provide the gathering place right now today ... and we - in return - can use our experience with them to tell them how to do it even better in the near future. Lets all go get a mefeedia account (if you for some reason don't have one), make sure our feed is in the system (if for some reason it isn't already). I volunteer to create the channel at mefeedia.

[videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
Dave, I agree, the commenting thing is a minus of a centralised site. Great points. These are important things in deciding how to set this up. I've been trying to consider them. A centralised site is a useful tool for people to quickly see what's happening within the project. And it won't be anything like as hassleful as posting to / checking the Ning site. People don't have to embed videos when they post to the central blog - they can just post a link. What we did a lot in Navlopomo - even using the evil Ning - was include the post's permalink below the embedded video so that people could click through and comment. And each participant can individually choose to off the comments in their posts at the Semanal.org blog if they want to further encourage people to go through to their own blogs to comment.

Wahaha ... well I did stop short of painting my face blue. :-P Poor Ze Nuno has just finished setting up the Wordpress blog, and I've got Semanal.org pointed there! Well, no reason we cant use both (so long as we do it smartly ;-) ) There are widgets from mefeedia that can reside at Semanal.org to give a video taste of the event, and there are also a few wordpress plugins that can consume an rss feed and create posts from it. (So it would be easy to create a master blog somewhere that is populated automatically from a feed (for example a mefeedia generated master feed) http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress http://www.devthought.com/ probably others.

And a great place to really put MeFeedia's decentralize the centralization ideas to the test. ;-) As for workflows ... I think the easiest and most universally understood method would probably be to select a tag. ?? The participants just need to pick one post a week to tag as Semanal (or whatever the tag decided upon is) The only other requirement is that participant vloggers have their feed entered at mefeedia.com.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
its funny that you say this. and i didnt make the relation before now... but a few days before you posted about SEMANAL, i was trying something out that would attempt to merge a collective videoblog with a mailing list/group. so i setup this as a test run: http://groups.google.com/group/vlogtumblr the experiment uses tumblr + feedgrabber + google groups posts are made to tumblr by anyone who wants to participate (either by adding feed(s) to tumblr account or sharing the tumblr email to post or the login creds). the tumblr feed gets forwarded to google groups email address (using feedbruner in this case). result is a community videoblog site (could be wordpress etc just the same) with a companion mailing list (could be yahoo groups or any mailing list server). apparently, feedburner only emails daily digests and i wanted individual emails instead. i first wanted to use rssfwd.com but i cannot control the from email address so google groups rejects it (detected as autoresponder). still, other rss to email forwarding services/scripts can be used in place of feedburner. this was just proof of concept. could debate the pros and cons of having discussions around videos on a mailing list verses the central blog or the individual participants blogs. and i also am a new fan of disqus.com which brings another perspective on this. anyway, funny timing. i was literally just messing around with what seemed to be an obvious thing to try. sull On Jan 3, 2008 4:41 PM, Rupert Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yes!

[videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
Not in my book, it isn't. During NaVloPoMo, Mefeedia picked up some of my posts because they were on Blip.tv with the agreed-upon tag, but did not pick up most of the videos out of my site's feed, despite my RSS feed (the Word-Press generated one, and my Feedburned one) being listed with Mefeedia and using the same tag on my posts. I can't be the only participant who had a lot of videos missing from the Mefeedia NaVloPoMo channel. I am all for working with Mefeedia but I'd really want to see this issue get ironed out before selecting Mefeedia as THE source for Semenal.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: SEMANAL
the only problem I have with aggregator sites using tags, is that people wanting to watch the videos or even dropping by need to know the tag to be able to see the content, and if the site isn't dedicated to the project, then there's likely to be multiple tags and possibly they are not obvious to a visitor. but a dedicated site with menus/forum threads for each week (for example) is more intuitive for them as it's more in their face and obvious. I know most of my friends (who granted probably aren't the target audience) don't know what tags are or what they're meant to do with them. but they know how to visit a website sites like facebook with forums etc and click on links. so, whilst it's probably ok for us to use, an aggregator site might not be as intuitive for regular non-web video users. also if the videos are available on a dedicated site the text blog entries/titles/comments are searchable. (eg people know how to use a search field on youtube or google). this is true for an aggregated site also, but it would return results outside the project. whereas a project site search would only search the project info. it's a lot easier to tell people goto site X having clear links/menus available on front page, rather than have to explain, goto site Y find the tags link, find tag Z and click on it, then search for the post by wading through multiple pages/dates etc. plus a dedicated site would be good for archival of the project afterwards if that's something people are thinking of (I suppose for as long as the hosting is kept up!) I don't really mind either way as my traffic/comments for videos is small anyway but not sure if others might want to consider it. if it's just a project for the group then the aggregator is ok, if people would like others to drop by then I think it has to be really simple and similar to other non-media websites navigation wise. if video tags an aggregator site are to be used, the tagged videos could populate a site in addition to being searchable via the tag on mefeedia I think it'd be good. ie have both available. kath On Jan 3, 2008 10:46 PM, Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: There are widgets from mefeedia that can reside at Semanal.org to give a video taste of the event, and there are also a few wordpress plugins that can consume an rss feed and create posts from it.

I had a little drama with buying it from a different phone provider to my sim and my existing sim not working. I didn't realise 3 network locked it (I suppose they all do) so I had to get a 1mth 3 sim and will unlock it so I can use my existing sim. (I won't really use it as a phone but I realise now that some of the features don't work unless the sim is enabled - I was thinking it was more like a pda I guess with optional phone capability) kath -- http://www.aliak.com

Rupert, I bought myself an N95 for xmas after your thoughts and experience with the N93 (I wanted the gps too). so far it's great! so thanks!! I wish I'd done it earlier. emailing 20Mb files to upload seems to work better though - still testing this part out. (you should _so_ get freebies from nokia for recommending/reviewing/using!!)

Hmm, isn't this what vloggers do anyway Or is it me? Most people can do 52 posts in a year, it's nothing new! --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey everybody Ze Nuno's had a great idea. Every week in 2008, we're posting videos. 52 videos by the end of the year. Continuing the spirit of NaVloPoMo, but posting 52 videos over the course of a whole year, instead of 30 in a month. Like NaVloPoMo, you can post on your blog, on Seesmic, Facebook, YouTube, whatever, wherever and however. You can do anything you want. As long as it moves. Whether you already post weekly or not, I think it'll be a great challenge and network to be involved in. NaVloPoMo gave great inspiration, energy and exposure. And it was FUN :) Join us at: http://semanal.ning.com/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
