question to you Duncan:
would you want your work to live on these sites rather than your
blog...or is it just another place to live?

hmm.. interesting idea.. 'where does my work live?', in some ways i'd like to think that each of my films stands on its own, although in reality only a few do. i guess once i publish i'm happy for them to live anywhere (as long as i get some control of viewing size ;) but that's from another debate!).
my work hasn't ever become 'viral' as such but now and again i do find it taking on a life of it's own that i wouldn't have expected. for example recently one of my films turned up on a christian blog and was being used to start a debate about the meaning of friendship. CBC in Canada have just purchased some of my films for broadcast, still not sure how happy i am about that but i guess it's just another life for them (and it helps pay for some equipment + food!).. originally i was a bit more hard-nosed about it and i put everything on ourmedia or blip and set up the feed and site myself. now i'm putting stuff all over the place, youtube, myspace etc etc.
When i started doing this the idea was about 'showing', i wanted to document things and share them with people, RSS and Fireant et al made this easy and help create a working system, i think myspace does a similar thing, it's a different social network though, via fireant i was engaging with people who were doing the same already ( i.e. other videobloggers) , with myspace i'm seeing an audience who aren't, maybe seeing this stuff will inspire them to?
so where does my work live? maybe my question is 'where does my work come alive?'.. the only answer i think i have right now is anywhere but on my own computer.

(p.s. also, if anyone is wondering why my blogspot has been so quiet recently it's because my camera is in the repair shop, although i think i might start some revlogging soon to keep the flow going)
