Got it. So MeFeedia, FireANT, etc, are fine, but companies announcing other products are bad? Seems silly to me. If there was some sort of deluge of press releases coming here I'd understand it, but the material today was applicable and they wrote an introductory paragraph annotating the press release, so I felt like it was good form.

Re: [videoblogging] press releases
I agree with Clint here. I wasn't put off by this press release. It was relevant and had a nice note to introduce. I know Halcyon has contributed to the discussion and he is working with Veoh, so I was interested in what they are offering. -Josh On 8/10/05, Clint Sharp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > petertheman wrote: > > > Here's an idea.

Re: [videoblogging] press releases
Since I've been snarfing up press releases for the Vlog Press Kit I don't particularly mind, but certainly understand how the rest of the group might find them not in keeping with the atmosphere we aspire to foster. Perhaps if we think of these press releases as learning tools rather than insults they would be more palatable. Was that a good press release? What if you were a real journalist and received it? Would you be motivated to follow up? Jan -- "It isn't done alone.

better yet, post a videoblog entry (or screencast) and let us know about that in your "human" message or Raymond may have to do it for you ;-) Markus petertheman wrote: >Here's an idea.

The one thing that bothered me was that the guy didn't wrap his e-mail so it was a pain to try and read. I would prefer a ban on faulty mail clients before a ban on press releases. :o) - Andreas -- http://www.solitude.dk/> Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] press releases
honestly folks... i think we all know when something becomes a problem... and a few relevant press releases is not something to get all worked up about. the key is that it pertains to open/indie media distribution/publishing technology and the like. as stated, i would enjoy a more personal approach, but i can handle a few official press releases coming down the pipe. lets remain loose while filtering the real crap... which has been non-existent of late =) cheers! sullOn 8/10/05, Jan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Since I've been snarfing up press releases for the Vlog Press Kit I don'tparticularly mind, but certainly understand how the rest of the group mightfind them not in keeping with the atmosphere we aspire to foster.
