Re: [videoblogging] Re: making directories

Even highlighting the number of hits a vlog got might be helpful.  It would have the negative effect of those with the most hits (earned or not) would keep getting more.  However, that would be like having a "best-seller" list for books.  You know the "best-sellers" are worth looking at mo

[videoblogging] Re: making directories

Well, the links on my site usually stem from one of two things: 1) I had some sort of interaction with them that I enjoyed and probably remember in relation to Vloggertown. So I put them on my videoblog so I can remember my neighbors. 2) They had something on their site that I enjoyed for my

Jan's observation: "I use the idea of capturing the "reality" of life as an impetus to make efforts toward crafting life as a more interesting "show"."   This sounds a bit like the idea that people "act up" to make themselves more interesting while being filmed.  I see a whole new school o

good points.i have been aware of this.you see, i am not a true believer in all the geekiness of social networking.it even took me a while to truly accept tagging as something that is useful.i see too many projects that are too gung ho on all the intricacies of what makes a social network but

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Making directories

Thanks for that suggestion.  It would work if people knew they could get the information that way.  Maybe a text message on top of the links.   Visible text under the link would be so much better.     Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, ActivistAdvisor: The Immortality Institut

Re: [videoblogging] Portable Video. I'm not sure I give a crap. I want to, but I don't get it.

Hi Bev,I completely agree with you.  The new video ipod is cute and cool and you can watch videos on it, but I think the reason it gets so much press in the group is because people with ipods can show people their videos without going on line to do it, which is also a neat idea, just to prove tha

Wow, I never thought of that.  That is even more evidence that "links" are artificial ways to rise in search engines rather than real connections to other people/vloggers.   Randolfe (Randy) Wicker   Videographer, Writer, ActivistAdvisor: The Immortality InstituteHoboken, NJhttp://www.randy

Re: [videoblogging] External camcorder mic suggestions?

Dear Mr Wicker,There should be a side panel usually on the left hand side of the camera, where you plug your firewire cable in under that should be a 3.5mm jack plug for audio in. Just plug you wireless mic into that and it should work.  Hopefully this should be of some help.paulOn 5 Dec 2005, at

I should have also mentioned that Digg is working on a video category, or at least I heard Kevin Rose slip on one of the older Diggnation vidcasts that it was coming. I doubt this will cramp your project because if Digg build this, I'm not sure if the community will be accepting of non-tech videos
