Message for Ryanne
Ryanne Hodson was asking on the videoblogging list about Google placement. Sometimes she uses the name Ryan and sometimes Ryanne. So I sent her a private e-mail suggesting she stick to Ryanne because it is more unique. I asked if she was in transition (from one name to another) and she tought I was implying something totally different. She videoblogged her response and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. So I hooked up my webcam and made this quick response. I followed my rules for video comments, BTW. (Easy to follow since they make posting less work.)
Ryanne, (just for you) I made all the links on the post create a new window.
Production Note: My apologies for the lousy audio, poor frame-rate and lip-synch. I wanted to record a response while I was still "rolling on the floor laughing" and I used an improperly configured HackTV for iSight video capture. (Specifically it was capturing video at 640x480 uncompressed and my PowerBook hard drive couldn't keep up.) Rather than do a retake and loose my spontaneous reaction, I decided to go ahead and use the flawed recording. p.s. One project for the weekend is to clean up that desk in the background...

Cablecam for Your Living Room
Steve Garfield and I were talking about shooting video of everyday home living. I want to have a high-quality camera ready that I don't have to hold or carry, for when the kids start doing something momentshowing-worthy. Then I saw this article in the New York Times. Steve could use something like this for The Carol and Steve Show, his Real Reality TV show.
CableCam International makes and installs these things for NFL games, Hollywood Movies, etc. Their website has more photos and videos. (warning: their site is a little flash-heavy.) I sent them an e-mail asking for one for my living room. Let's see what they say...

Vloggercon 2005 New York City
I booked my flight to vloggercon today. The Ultimate Geek Out '04 vblog post by Ryanne Hodson should give you some idea of how much fun vloggercon will be -- at least for a geek, like me. When I came up with the idea for vBlog Central, I never thought that within a year there would be a videoblogging convention. (I thought it might take two years...)
I haven't been this excited in years.

Rumor: Six Apart to buy Live Journal
Om Malik on Broadband says Six Apart to buy Live Journal:
via Jeff Jarvis
I have learnt exclusively that Six Apart, the parent company behind hosted blogging service TypePad, and Moveable Type is about to acquire Live Journal, for an undisclosed amount. The deal is a mix of stock and cash, and could be announced sometime later this month, according to those close to the two companies. If the deal goes through, then Six Apart will become one of the largest weblog companies in the world, with nearly 6.5 million users. It also gives the company a very fighting chance against Google’s Blogger and Microsoft’s MSN Spaces.

Media Attention to Videoblogging Keeps Growing
The last week has seen an ABC News report on Bloggers as People of the Year including a TV report which includes The World's Youngest Videoblogger, two BusinessWeek articles (Let a Million Videos Bloom Online and On-line Video the Sequel) , and a Wall Street Journal article. Videoblogger Steve Garfield rightly points out the the Wall Street Journal article misrepresents videobloggers:
Great link, but the story paints a picture of videobloggers as those that take video without permission and redistribute it over the net for free.
Even though is does touch on the fact that we're also creating original content of our own, it makes it seem like it's not really happening.
Something big is happening here and it will take a while for the MSM (that's Main Stream Media) to figure it out. The Journal article focuses on amateur tsunami videos which is interesting and important, but is not the best representation of what is going on with videoblogging.

Videoblogging conference Vloggercon 2005 in NYC, January 22nd
Vloggercon 2005 will be held at the Parsons School of Design in Greenwich Village, New York City.
The video announcement of the conference is hosted by vBlog Central and, if you've watched talking head
videoblogs with just one person talking, the announcement is fun to watch. Jay, Steve, and Ryanne are all active in the videoblogging group. Jay and Steve have given extensive feedback on vBlog Central.
Vloggercon 2005 will be small, fun, passionate, and challenging. It will also help establish 2005 as the Year of the Videoblog! I'm looking forward to meeting all these crazy people face-to-face.
I would have called it vblog-a-con, since I prefer vblogger to vlogger (as a shorthand for videoblogger), but I'm going anyway. (Shannon Noble prefers vlog and he named it.)
