I am enjoying the video on 'the facebook' a lot. One thing that I noticed, is that I can't get rss out, etc....and I was kind of ok with that?
Is the heat getting to me, I mean media, locked up behind a login. -- -Devlon http://devlonduthie.com | http://mefeedia.com | http://node-64.com/blog MSN: du.th.ied AIM: devlond -----Original Message----- From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rupert Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 12:34 PM To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [videoblogging] My new video obsession.... I started watching earlier today, but got interrupted. Happy Birthday! It's like the iSight was built for you, Schlomo. Very few people could make films as entertaining as that with their MBPs. I bet no one else's MBP iSight videos will get shown at Pixelodeon next year. And it feels different somehow that it's on Facebook... sorry - "the Facebook". Nicer forum for it than just a mass video sharing site or a blog. (that reminds me - I saw on Viddler they're giving away iPhones to people who make 30 second MeToday videos this month.) What you say makes total sense to me - the immediacy and satisfaction of it. It's been low maintenance creative fun for me to snap stuff, cut it occasionally in the phone and just send it off. You only have to worry about what's in front of the camera - you haven't got half your brain in the future, thinking about downloading, compressing, uploading, posting, etc and whether what you're shooting is worth the effort down the line. So it just frees you to just Do Stuff. The little creative muscles need flexing as well as the big ones. Not that mine would be as fun as yours, but I'd love to be able to do it. God DAMN, i wish i could afford a Macbook Pro (the phone i use was a free upgrade btw, and the phone plan is pretty average - all data goes via regular wifi). I am in webcam hell with this Powerbook. The other night i had to use my big old XL1 DV camera as a webcam for the flashmeeting - and then it ran out of battery. And I'd left the power cord somewhere. Anybody have a Powerbook with a webcam that actually works well? With iChat, etc? Care to let me know what it is??

I'm not sure why.. you dont get stats, you cant see who has been watching them, and you don't get an RSS feed. In fact, all you can do is record into the web browser and tag it with your friends names if they are in the video-- you cant even make up your own tags!! But its become a very intimate connector for me. It's like Ruperts Twittervlog, but without the expensive camera and monthly phone plan. Blip.tv used to have a similar feature early-on that only worked in Safari. I remember using it in a similar way, but the Facebook version is really well done and should be abused by all videobloggers! Its strange, but for some reason I enjoy making these sorts of videos this way, but on my personal site I want to make stories in a different way. With the In-Browser Recording, I like to just communicate in an instant messenger sort of way. Does that make sense to anyone else? It's the immediacy of the process that I enjoy (again, it helps me understand why Rupert and Steve get excited about their phones) Anyway, here are the couple I've done: < http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=880965647> I encourage you to make some of your own!
