Sites for video blogging.

Youtube
www.youtube.com
Besides
being one of the most popular video blogging web sites,Youtube is one
of the oldest of its kind.Founded in 2005,this web site provides a free
platform that facilitates the sharing of user-created videos.Once you
are registered with the site you become a member and can upload your
videos in MPEG,AVI or MOV format.You can even upload MPEG4(DivX or
XviD-encoded video clips) for higher video quality.After recording
movies using your camcorder,digital still camera (using the movie mode)
or your video-capable cell phone,you can use one of several free tools
to convert your video to any of the above formats before uploading
them.Members also have access to other facilities including the ability
to edit posts to their videos and remove them later if they wish to.The
web site also lets you tag your videos,which makes it easier to search
and locate videos of specific content and subject.To protect
privacy,uploaded videos can be set to be private or public,thus
restricting viewing access.Another cool feature is the ability to
directly upload videos from mobile devices like PDAs and cell phones
using its nifty Mobile Upload option in conjuction with the MMS
capability of your phone.
For
first-time users,the site includes a comprehensive help section that
describe the web site's capabilities along with answers to
frequently-asked questions regarding posting and managing video
posts.For both members and guests of the site,you can even link its
hosted videos to other web sites by embedded them directly into the web
page.
Metacafe
www.metacafe.com
Another
web site offering similar capabilities to that of Youtube is
Metacafe.It serves as a video sharing platform,allowing users to post
their video clips.Founded in Israel,this site has over 20 million
unique visitors Watching over 400 million video streams each month.Here
too,after a free registration you can proceed to upload your own
videos.The video quality standards used on Metacafe are of a noticeably
higher quality than that used on other video sharing platforms such as
Youtube.To be able to upload videos,a 4.8 MB client application needs
to be downloaded and installed on the client computer,after which you
can upload content,rate clips,post user comments or share the clips
with a friend.The application also allows you to save clips to your
computer for office offline viewing.Besides user-posted video clips,the
web sites also offers movie trailers,games and other fun stuff.
Podcasting
www.apple.com/podcasting
For
all those who use iTunes as their music management and MP3 playback
needs,you've probably already heard of podcasting.This is the term
given to the ability to share user-created audio and video clips on
Apple's iTunes network.Podcasts are "channels" that can be subscribed
to through the online iTunes Music Store interface.While the term
initially applicable to user-created audio streams,podcasts can now be
video-based as they are primarily intended to run on Apple's video
enabled iPods (though they can be downloaded and viewed on any
video-capable computer or handheld device that supports the video
standard).As regard the video standard,podcasts can only be created in
M4V,MP4 or MOV video formats which happens to be native video export
formats in Apple's Quicktime 7 Pro.If you have a Mac,it will be
understandably easier to create a podcast by using a DV camera and the
iSight software used for capturing and saving your video file.This can
be done on a PC using the applicable software to grab video and export
it to the supported format.Unlike the video blogging web sites
described earlier,you cannot actually upload videos to the iTunes Music
Store- to share podcasts,you will need to first host your video as an
enclosure on an existing blogging service such as "Blogger" and then
provide the RSS link on the iTunes Music Store.After this is done,it
shows up on the iTunes Music Store listing in the podcast category.Of
course,this is the best way to share your video clips with iPod users
as they are synchronized with the device through the iTunes
interface.There are numerous detailed tutorials on how to do this on
iTunes Music Store and on other web sites.
Now
that the capablity exists on the device(be it a cell phone,camcorder or
digicam),the ability to share your videos with the world is a powerful
capability for communication.While video blogging is still at an
embryonic stage in the country,there are many examples of surprisingly
popular users who partake of everything from citizen journalism to
kitschy video clips of their daily experiences.Still,there is no
denying the power behind this trend of any-users video sharing.

Google Video Ads

The scope of advertising just got a further boost with Google making more in-roads possible for big time advertisers making use of Google video ads. A recent announcement by Google declares that the search engine has made organized the play video for effective use of money spent on marketing through visual media more worthwhile; with Google videos now coming with a Google Video Store model that it has now started using. Google video ads have a major share in the online marketing segment and its click-to-play category of video ads form a substantial chunk of the site’s AdWords content network; thus, what the site has given the online media industry is Adwords videos in plentiful now.

In its latest launch declaration, Google video ads were extended towards all those advertisers of AdWords conducting business in the US, Canada and Japan with further expansion plans to include the rest of the world. Apart from the common advertising options in Google AdWords, like the click-to-play Google video ads, there will be the factor of competition from AdSense and other advertising segments for placement on these sites. For all advertisers that have invested in marketing of their products by running simple text link or image ads, the response of viewers towards Google video ads has been instantaneously powerful, video being a visual and more captivating medium. Thus, Google video ads are now all set to raise the outreach of online publishers and advertisers alike.

The click-to-play variety of Google video ads is expected to be targeted by keyword, like the normal Google AdSense system, or possibly through the Google site targeting system; this factor depends largely on the sum that the advertiser pays. Recently in the news at a large press conference held in New York, Google spokespersons made the channel’s intention on making video available for advertisers choosing their site option for targeting traffic and potential online consumers. Google video ads were pitched to being Google’s biggest move so far into the rapidly developing field of brand advertising, and the site representative further added that Google would possible even allow publishers to use its AdSense network to display targeted video ads. These advertising spots, Google video ads representative’s claimed, can be for as long as two minutes with the site only charging the Google video ads producers if a web user clicks through to an advertiser’s website. Those businesses interested in making online marketing pitches have the option from Google video ads publishers to pay per 1,000 impressions. Thus, this comes as a welcome break for all local advertisers who mostly rely on commercial spots on television or radio and have yet to explore the full reach of search engine marketing using keyword correlation strategies, that has come up in a big way, thanks to sites like Google opening more possibilities for them. This is especially true of Google video ads that are in the category of click-to-play, which can be either targeting to one particular geographical region or targeting towards an entire nation or just at a local level for more specific target audience reach.

The Top 10 Things They Never Taught Me in Design School

The Top 10 Things They Never Taught Me in Design School
by Michael McDonough

1. Talent is one-third of the success equation.
Talent is important in any profession, but it is no guarantee of success. Hard work and luck are equally important. Hard work means self-discipline and sacrifice. Luck means, among other things, access to power, whether it is social contacts or money or timing. In fact, if you are not very talented, you can still succeed by emphasizing the other two. If you think I am wrong, just look around.

2. 95 percent of any creative profession is shit work.
Only 5 percent is actually, in some simplistic way, fun. In school that is what you focus on; it is 100 percent fun. Tick-tock. In real life, most of the time there is paper work, drafting boring stuff, fact-checking, negotiating, selling, collecting money, paying taxes, and so forth. If you don’t learn to love the boring, aggravating, and stupid parts of your profession and perform them with diligence and care, you will never succeed.

3. If everything is equally important, then nothing is very important.
You hear a lot about details, from “Don’t sweat the details” to “God is in the details.” Both are true, but with a very important explanation: hierarchy. You must decide what is important, and then attend to it first and foremost. Everything is important, yes. But not everything is equally important. A very successful real estate person taught me this. He told me, “Watch King Rat. You’ll get it.”

4. Don’t over-think a problem.
One time when I was in graduate school, the late, great Steven Izenour said to me, after only a week or so into a ten-week problem, “OK, you solved it. Now draw it up.” Every other critic I ever had always tried to complicate and prolong a problem when, in fact, it had already been solved. Designers are obsessive by nature. This was a revelation. Sometimes you just hit it. The thing is done. Move on.

5. Start with what you know; then remove the unknowns.
In design this means “draw what you know.” Start by putting down what you already know and already understand. If you are designing a chair, for example, you know that humans are of predictable height. The seat height, the angle of repose, and the loading requirements can at least be approximated. So draw them. Most students panic when faced with something they do not know and cannot control. Forget about it. Begin at the beginning. Then work on each unknown, solving and removing them one at a time. It is the most important rule of design. In Zen it is expressed as “Be where you are.” It works.

6. Don’t forget your goal.
Definition of a fanatic: Someone who redoubles his effort after forgetting his goal. Students and young designers often approach a problem with insight and brilliance, and subsequently let it slip away in confusion, fear and wasted effort. They forget their goals, and make up new ones as they go along. Original thought is a kind of gift from the gods. Artists know this. “Hold the moment,” they say. “Honor it.” Get your idea down on a slip of paper and tape it up in front of you.

7. When you throw your weight around, you usually fall off balance.
Overconfidence is as bad as no confidence. Be humble in approaching problems. Realize and accept your ignorance, then work diligently to educate yourself out of it. Ask questions. Power – the power to create things and impose them on the world – is a privilege. Do not abuse it, do not underestimate its difficulty, or it will come around and bite you on the ass. The great Karmic wheel, however slowly, turns.

8. The road to hell is paved with good intentions; or, no good deed goes unpunished.
The world is not set up to facilitate the best any more than it is set up to facilitate the worst. It doesn’t depend on brilliance or innovation because if it did, the system would be unpredictable. It requires averages and predictables. So, good deeds and brilliant ideas go against the grain of the social contract almost by definition. They will be challenged and will require enormous effort to succeed. Most fail. Expect to work hard, expect to fail a few times, and expect to be rejected. Our work is like martial arts or military strategy: Never underestimate your opponent. If you believe in excellence, your opponent will pretty much be everything.

9. It all comes down to output.
No matter how cool your computer rendering is, no matter how brilliant your essay is, no matter how fabulous your whatever is, if you can’t output it, distribute it, and make it known, it basically doesn’t exist. Orient yourself to output. Schedule output. Output, output, output. Show Me The Output.

10. The rest of the world counts.
If you hope to accomplish anything, you will inevitably need all of the people you hated in high school. I once attended a very prestigious design school where the idea was “If you are here, you are so important, the rest of the world doesn’t count.” Not a single person from that school that I know of has ever been really successful outside of school. In fact, most are the kind of mid-level management drones and hacks they so despised as students. A suit does not make you a genius. No matter how good your design is, somebody has to construct or manufacture it. Somebody has to insure it. Somebody has to buy it. Respect those people. You need them. Big time.

Take one Mun² per day

If you start thinking like a gringo, you’ll see weapons of mass destruction everywhere you look. That’s the comical message in this new spot for Mun², the bilingual Hispanic cable channel, from agency la comunidad. “Is your American dream becoming too gringo?” says the narrator. “Take one Mun² per day, and instead of dreaming about war, dream about nicer things.”
