It doesn't seem like there has ever been a real discussion about the pros and cons of revlogging. I'm not talking about video mash-ups. I'm talking about vlogs made completely of other peoples' videos.
Two examples: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheRevlog http://feeds.feedburner.com/joshleospicks I've never had one of my videos "revlogged" but in theory I'd be ok with it because the enclosure link would be pulling the video from my server, so I know that it was downloaded. Some things that are important to me: 1) Give credit. A permalink to my blog would do. I'd prefer to have the source listed in the item title and description to make it really obvious. 2) Enclosure must sit on my server. Don't copy it onto your server and republish because I like to know how many people are watching my vid. 3) The emphasis about the feed should not be "watch this feed!" but rather "watch these other feeds that I watch." Overall I agree with Josh Leo that ReVlogs are great. Check out his "About Josh's Picks" blurb here: http://www.joshleo.com/picks/?page_id=2 I'd love to start revlogging. But where's the line in terms of courtesy to the video makers? What's proper etiquette? Do you need to email the person first before you link to their video on your vlog? What about ads? If I revlogged an episode of Rocketboom with a TRM ad next to one of Verdi's vids, would I be pissing Verdi off? What's proper use? - Charlie http://cousincharlie.blogspot.com/ feeds.feedburner.com/CousinCharlie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
