The problem with Veoh is not ideals but execution. We all want to make a living, but they are just a bit too obvious about it. Yes, products, consumption and desire are integral parts of our lives, but to exploit these traits without consent, especially when its conveniently timed with the

An interesting cross post from another Yahoo group I'm on for non-profit tech. This message discusses Yahoo vs. YouTube vs. Blip. Note the use of the word "streaming", a word that often comes up when I talk about videoblogging with people outside of this sphere. Much of the worlds entire pers

2006-02-12 Thread nathan.freitas
I have the HC1 and while I love it you really need some horsepower and lots of storage to take advantage of it. Its a bit overkill for "videoblogging" - due to its cost (you will always be worried about it), size (it doesn't fit in your pocket), and its resolution. The HDV output does look beaut

Peter, Thanks for the question. There are two parts to our "home" page. One side is an "edited" front page, which we want to be able to use to present and highlight different content as its available. For instance, if suddenly there were a bunch of clips out on the Space Shuttle in-space r

In the spirit of all the little guys cooperating instead of competing, I'd like to let everyone know that I/ON now features a shiny new "Home" screen, powered by the amazing Mefeedia (a.k.a. Peter)! On the primary screen of I/ON, users will be presented with a rotating listing of Popular, N

Anyone remember the old days of BBS file trading where you had to upload in order to download? There was a proper ratio to maintain that required participation. Maybe this could be used in as some sort of barter system that allowed prioritized access to content if you are willing to participat

Nice use of mediaRSS in the feeds! The first real-world use of multiple content entries (mov, wmv, flash) per Item I've think I've seen. Are all movies uploaded automatically converted into the three types? +Nathan On Wed, 21 Sep 2005 9:01 am, Loiez D. wrote: > Hi, > > The version 1.0 of Daily
