Submission Service Idea
funny thought i had to 'use' youtube etc.redirect people 
to your videoblog with a sort of video press release when you have posted a new 
video.  but dont post the actual video to them... reserve your rights and 
USE them and their wide audience.  post a 15 second video of you directing 
people to your latest post with maybe a tiny teaser clip added..... and add a 
link in the youtube post description (can you do that?).  
ha!

  I understand that people like to put their 
  stuff in places like YouTube because they think they'll get noticed there by 
  the hordes of people looking for the latest cool TV clip. That's fine but 
  personally I have 2 main reasons why I'll never be interested in that. 1. 
  Check the terms of use: YouTube, Google Video, DailyMotion for example all 
  require you to license your video to them in such a way that they can 
  commercially exploit it. Why give this to them in exchange for hosting when 
  you host your videos yourself or for free on The Archive and Blip.tv without giving anything away? Also, if you intend to 
  use anyone's creative commons licensed material and then upload it there you 
  may be violating the terms of their licence (this is the case for any 
  non-commercial and/or share alike license). 2. By buying into the idea 
  that these places are portals you are helping to set up another version of 
  what we already have in the TV and Film world - namely distribution controlled 
  by a few sources. The revolutionary thing about the Internet and videoblogging 
  is that YOU can distribute your own work. You don't have to rely on a 
  middleman. If you want to be on TV or Film you have to play the TV or Film 
  game. If you videoblog you don't have to put up with that shit. You have the 
  power to do it yourself. Here are my "tips" for building an 
  audience:1. Make great content.2. Make great content.3. Make great 
  content.4. Put your great content in a blog and add descriptions and links 
  relevant to your great content. 5. Make sure you have an RSS 2.0 feed with 
  enclosures so people can subscribe to your great content.6. Make great 
  content regularly (you don't have to do it everyday but don't dissapear for 
  months at a time).7. Interact with your audience via the comments on your 
  videoblog. 8. Watch and comment on stuff you like (they might like your 
  stuff too).That's it for now. That should get you 
  started.-Verdi

  Greetings... 
    Vlogweek very cool... Our New studio did not getfinished over the 
    weekend, and I am bummed, Such is life...Warning - I am not a good 
    writer, when it comes to me puttingsomething on paper, alot of time my 
    thoughts get mangled, I am much better in person... I think way faster 
    than I type, so I will try toconvey and idea... discussing it here first 
    before acting, andhoping that I can get some constructive, open minded, 
    feedback fromvalued members here. I have an 
    Idea...Trying to be a productive member and all, I would like to 
    build orbe part of a new website/program dedicated to video submission. 
    Ihave *some* capital, resources and input, however I cannot do it 
    alone.It is understood by me that there are already MANY 
    services that onevlogger can upload a video to and get seen... however, 
    people likeme, who vlog daily could spend a great deal of time, just 
    uploading to the many services out there...A service needs to be 
    developed that you could upload your dailyvideo to once, and the service 
    would "broadcast" your video theother video services for which do not 
    have RSS feeds, but force you to upload ... What really gets me about 
    the current group ofservices for video distribution is that in order to 
    gain the mostexposure you need to set up no less than five different 
    useraccounts, and upload your video up to at least that many services, 
    my videos are around 40 mb, can you imagine how long it would takeme 
    to upload to just 5 of them? Plus, compile, shoot, edit, createwebpages, 
    post in a blog, ping the feeds that arent in feedburner,and post to this 
    board? It is just crazy... Here are some possible 
    solutions...Choice oneALL video upload services allow for 
    linking to source video that isalready hosted somewhere. OR allow RSS 
    linking to source vid.Pros-1. It would be easier for people like 
    me to have content listed in many services, quickly.2. My daily 
    video would only consume 30 mb of webspace TOTAL.3. Video Services would 
    have more content with less server overhead.Cons-1. Video 
    services would not have as much "exclusive" content. 2. Video Services 
    would not be able to control the availability of avideo or the bandwidth 
    that each video's hosting could handle.3. The abosolute tracking would 
    be sketchy.4. Those video services that currently CONVERT video formats 
    for you would be very limited by not having the source file in hand. 
    Likefor Mobile phones, ipods, and such.Choice twoHave a 
    video broadcast service... this could be a web application,Or more 
    intriging, it could be a windows application like googles video 
    uploader.You upload to one place... when this happens it is 
    concurrentlyuploaded to many other places...Pros-1. Less 
    work for the content provider2. This could be a paid service... make 
    money$$ 3. Maximum exposure could be obtained with minimal effort4. 
    Video service would still have the source files.5. Video services would 
    likely become allies with such service forthe content alone, and would 
    likely allow a service to sign up new user accounts.6. In the above 
    scenario this service would become a one stop shopfor new 
    vloggers..."Got a video?, get it out there! vlogblaster.comsets you 
    up with accounts for the most popular video submission services out 
    there, AND uploads your video for you, Blast your 
    vlogtoday!"Cons-1. A 30mb would eat up a ton of server space 
    on the WEB, in anexample a 30 mb file uploaded to2. The machine 
    running the application, the content providers computer OR the server 
    that the application os run on, would haveall it could do for the better 
    part of an hour. OR the Vloggercommunity could build a SETI type network 
    to handle such tasks.3. Script would have to written for each video 
    upload service. Personally I see choice two as the only option, I 
    think that itwould be reasonable to suggest that 5 services could be 
    targetted,with more development slated for the future.Now I know 
    for a fact that I currently consume in the range of 150mb of server 
    space in lala land for just ONE 30mb video. Each and everyday. Because 
    it has to get uploaded to so many places. This could bebad in the long 
    haul... Liberals against server space... videowasteland... I can see the 
    march on washington now. Google video, akimbo, youtube, stupid 
    videos, cnet, and MANY more Iam sure I a missing some big ones here... 
    your help as to which fivecould be targetted would be helpful.I 
    look forward to your thoughts, and suggestions on whether such a service 
    is feasible, or even if it already exists...Now, I did not sign up 
    as a vlog week 2006 participant, but I dohowever, do a daily video 
    anyway, I plan to in the spirit of thisweek do a weekend edition of 
    unzappedtv... you will not however see me in the shower or 
    bathtub.Our First coorespondant from argentina is on the show today, 
    with afunny commercial that FORD is running...PEACE 
    OUT!Jasonhttp://www.unzappedtv.com
