Pigslop - Encyclopedia Dramatica - 0 views

  • He had a mutually-beneficial symbiotic relationship with ED, using and creating some of the material contained in these articles for his videos. But as time went on, his e-fame went to his head, and Pigslop developed an extreme case of unwarranted self-importance, resulting in one of the lulziest cases of serial snow-balling self-ownage in YouTube history.

videoblogging : Message: (No subject) - 0 views

  • So, what can a video blog do or rather, what can I do with a video blog that I cannot do with other mediums? It attracts me because of this unique combination of traits in a visual medium. It is irrelevant to me if its content is edited or `real' or `art'. What is most interesting to me is that it provides a way to tell a story that could eliminate worn-out narrative forms without relying on `postmodern' or ironic or self-aware tricks, most of which are rapidly becoming traps.
  • blogging shares many common traits with letter writing / diary keeping – it is periodic, its is a dialog and unlike say, a phone conversation, it is author-centric(very much 1st person in its content) and it is a cumulative form of story telling.

Media Revolution: Podcasting (Part 2); 2/06 - 0 views

  • By the end of 2004, bloggers were using the ability to add video as an enclosure to an RSS feed, allowing viewers to subscribe to videos and have them delivered automatically to their computers. This solved the problem of click and wait, where you had to wait for a video to start playing when you clicked on it from a web page.
  • podcasting (both video and audio) is a bottom-up movement and squarely the domain of individuals who are being guided by human creativity and expression, rather than corporate agendas and economic exigencies.
  • With the cost of video cameras in the hundreds, sophisticated computers with video editing software available for just over a grand, and high speed always-on internet connections costing less than the average cable television subscription, the means of both production and distribution are now in the hands of practically anyone with something to say

  • genuine conversation with their audience,
  • Marhshall McLuhan argued that in each socio-cultural era the medium in which information is created and transmitted determines the essential characteristics of that culture. He also predicted the evolution of an interconnected "global village".  The shift from a centralized media industry modeled on industrial revolution structures to a decentralized chaotic information-age soup is having a profound effect on the messages we exchange and shaping the characteristics of our culture. The global village comes to a crescendo with podcasting, and you can participate in the revolution with tools that are easily within reach: your imagination, the computer you're using to read this web page, and a video camera. We're not going to predicting what's next, as that's going to depend on what you, yes you, plan to do with new media. If the flutter of one butterfly wing, can trigger a chain reaction of events resulting in a storm half-way across the planet, imagine the effect millions, or billions, of individually produced videos will have on the characteristic of the global village and the media landscape.
  • You don't even need a video camera to start videoblogging, the mashup culture is in full force
  • most new computers come with free video editing software
  • A large group of vloggers, over 2,000 at last count, actively participate in the Yahoo! Videoblogging Group from all over the world.

Spreading the Love: Juan Mann - Who - 0 views

  • JM: I keep my real name to myself because my family, friends and work didn't know and I guess the whole thing about a different name is that it's not about me, it's about how it makes people feel and think. I used to say to my friends, "I'm just one man! What can I do?!" I did feel that I was looking for something that was a little bit more than what's out there, I had to do something.
