So I finally figured out how to search for Youtube Groups. I found a couple of dozen groups associated with videoblogging - but none of them had more than a few members, and there were no fresh discussions or activity.
Is anybody else here interested in joining a group on Youtube? As per the Facebook group discussion last week, I'd want a group to complement the Yahoo group rather than duplicate it. It'd be a way to share videos and connect with people on Youtube, explore the communities and conversations there, even to inspire us to feel it's worthwhile posting on Youtube, and to find more viewers. If nobody says yes, I won't bother, because the last thing I want to do is create another unpopulated dead Group. But it could be a great way to build a bridge from this group into Youtube, since it's often been remarked that there's so much separation between us. My 'month of Youtube' has been a little slowed down by hectic work & home life, but I'm still as committed to exploring it more. As I just wrote in an email to someone else, I do think it's a bit mad that so many of us are not on Youtube more, given the much larger number of people passing through there than through any other site. Youtube has 50%+ share of all online video, but amazingly the mefeedia figures show it has less videoblogs than other sites. I understand that a few people will not want to deal with youtube's TOS, their interface or their picture quality, but for a lot of us who want to connect with other people and evangelize this stuff a little, it surely makes more sense to spend some time hanging out on the main drag as well as behind the bike shed. What do you reckon? Who would want to join? Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
