[videoblogging] Re: my favorite vlog template of the week
I'm excited about these new interfaces! We've been playing with various "theater view" interfaces. We just launched this for your personal queue (if you use Mefeedia to subscribe to vlogs, feeds, TV shows, etc). Also, you can do any search on mefeedia.com and click the "watch this page" on the top of the results - it will launch in full screen mode, Flickr-style. We couldn't implement a fancy Flash interface, though, due to the many formats and players we have to support. The pro of not having this, though, is that we can easily include a link back to the original post so you can leave a comment, etc. Regards, Frank http://www.mefeedia.com - Feed Me Media --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Michael Verdi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've been looking at the Viewzi site for a while.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: my favorite vlog template of the week
I've been looking at the Viewzi site for a while. I really like the idea of the full browser window video with an interface that comes up when you mouse over it. I started playing with it here (with some machinima stuff) http://dev.graymattergravy.com/fullwindow.html but haven't gotten too far. How I imagine it working is having a wordpress blog behind it and David Meade's XSPF playlist plugin to create the playlist that is running the player on the front page. So this becomes just another way (less blog like) of looking at your blog. - Verdi On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 12:08 PM, Brook Hinton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I do.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: my favorite vlog template of the week
I do. Though I really LIKE the combination of text and video - to me its part of the form. But the text is as difficult as the video, and it would be nice to be able to JUST post video without sacrificing search/index functionality. brook On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 10:01 AM, Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's funny you mentioned the text portion of your vlog.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: my favorite vlog template of the week
If you dont want to write a post to accompany your vid, dont! Who cares? Make yourself happy, Heath. It's your own site, do what feels good to you. I just came back from Peru and found my Spirit Animal. He told me to live this way.

[videoblogging] Re: my favorite vlog template of the week
It's funny you mentioned the text portion of your vlog. I stuggle myself with what to write down sometime...well actually most times. Sometimes I write to help the viewer gain an understanding of "why", sometimes I write because I just want it have something for the search engines to index. I find my tastes changing, I find I no longer want to write a long post, heck half the time, I just want to put a video up and be done with it. It's weird. Does anyone else stuggle with this stuff or am I just on an island again ;) Heath http://batmangeek.com http://heathparks.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "schlomo rabinowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ha!:) > Of course you are right, that's why my mom would love it! > > There is a fine line between channel surfing and choosing.
