I also thought it may have come from Marc Canter's direct link to the video on blip.tv. Also this was a Dave Winer event whose audience seems to be primarily podcasters with many of them on iTunes.

Your blip stats reflect requests to the video itself -- not your blog. I haven't looked much at delicious. Still need to figure it out. 127.0.0.1 means that someone clicked a link on a Web page that was being served from their own computer. This could be a Web-based aggregator running locally. I see, thanks.

[videoblogging] Re: blip.tv stats
This brings up another question. That is somewhat related I think... Is there a way to redirect a request for a media file that I host to the page that the media file is posted on without breaking the RSS feed? I've been getting a lot of people linking directly to my video files and would like to at least make people aware that there is a larger site that they could find other things of like interest. I do put an ID in my videos with the URL but it would be nice to redirect them to the larger site somehow. I host the site on my own rented web space and not a third party service.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: blip.tv stats
You mean you want link previously published to be valid but redirect to another location? Sure you can do that. How to do it would depend on the webserver setup ... but most can set up a redirect pretty easily. On 10/27/05, Bill Streeter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This brings up another question.

How to do it would depend on the webserver setup ... but most can set up a redirect pretty easily. I'd worry that it would break expectations more than it would be useful. If I see a URL ending in .mov, .mp4, .wmv or whatever, I'm most likely to juct click save as and dump it to my hard drive for later viewing. I'd be pretty annoyed to come back later and find that this .mov file doesn't play in my player. I'm geeky enough to maybe sometimes look inside and realize it contains HTML rather than the movie, but even then I'd just delete it. In the real world, people link to media, and they want the media they link to to stay linked. If it doesn't, you run the risk of copying and re-hosting instead - losing even the implicit connection with your site of the hosting URL - is that what you want? -- Frank Carver http://www.makevideo.org.uk Yahoo!
