Welcome to the group. Naming a vlog huh? Well my feeling is you want to go with something that you don't have to repeat twice. Sciencebabe is catchy but I like ScienceSiren better. But Sciencebabe is easier to say. There will be people who will be touchy about the name. If you have the educatio

I have been looking to move video to myspace from their location on blip.tv While they do move, they seem to go into bulletin and/or blog. Not to video. I believe this means they will not be circulated and seen as videos, and lose their visibility there. Am I correct? All and all, this seems u

What's crappy or mediocre to one person is pure gold to another. There's room for it all on the internet. And that is the whole fucking point! You don't have to be "good" to be on the Internet and nobody can make you watch the stuff you don't want to watch. Some of my favorite videos are the ones

[videoblogging] +Re: The Cult of the Amateur

There is a lot of mediocre stuff out there on the web, but that can't be solved systemically. But there's a ton of crappy TV, so-so books, and passable films. Why should we expect a medium that is largely low-budget and indie be any different than its old skool, well-funded counterparts? If we w

Look at as many releases as you can. Talent and extras should be paid at least a dollar ($1.00). What you end up using the video for will make a lot of difference in the selection and legal language that must be included in a release form. Using Google search: talent + release + form extras +

Depends what sort of mediocrity he's talking about. I will rally to the defense of all sorts of videos that some people will think are mediocre. And I will look at some videos and hate them.

Im not sure if that view still dominates business and the profitmongers attitude to the web though. I think capitalism is getting used to the slight adjustment in the nature of of how they make money from the consumers. They can easily think of people connecting as just a change in what people are

I read some of the excepts from the book but got tired of its one-sidedness quickly. I am rather interested in many of the things Keen highlights, and I think some of his concerns have some validity.
