Funny you should ask Heath!
The Social Media Club is hosting conversations around the country in Sept
and Oct, sponsored by RealPlayer SP. That is one of the main questions! I am
the paid project manager for this Reality Check series.

You can see a list of the cities here in case one is nearby and any of you
want to attend; New York is next Monday Sept 14, DC is next Wed Sept 16,
Atlanta next Thur Sep 17.
http://realitycheck.socialmediaclub.org

Each chapter runs its own meeting. We'll be posting event info as it
develops.

This is their new player, that lets you download video from virtually any
source and re-encode it for use on your device of choice. Free and plus
versions are available.
http://www.real.com/realplayer

The player is only available for PC - Mac version won't be out until Q1
2020. Hence, I do not have personal experience with it yet.

They also have http://www.realnetworksblog.com with a number of contests and
other things going on.

I am happy to forward on any comments anyone may have, in case you can't
attend one of the meetings. If you blog about it, we are using these tags:
smc, realitycheck, socialmediaclub

Aloha,

Roxanne

 How has your way of consuming(watching/interacting) with web video changed?
 I mean remember Fireant? Subscribe to your favorite feeds and have the
 content downloaded to your PC or laptop for your viewing pleasure! Then
 later onto your video Ipod! Sure things like that still exsist, Miro, and
 some little known program called Itunes...(and that blockbuster format the
 Zune)...

 Butand this is a big but, I think, how many of you are still
 downloading and watching video's on your Ipod or Zune or Zen or Iphone? With
 the Iphone and Ipod, if you have a cell or wi-fi connection you can just
 watch it online...do you still download video's to your PC's or Mac's?

 I know for me, my portable player is just filled with music and tv
 shows/movies that I have ripped, when I want to watch a vlog I just watch
 it online anymore, saying me some hard drive space...

 So.how do you watch web video?

Geez people - my error. That release date should be Q1 2010!  (If you know
me, you know what a bad typist I am...)
Apologies to all,

Rox
