This was just me playing around with my food! Actually, I wanted to see what sort of quality my old Samsung NV7 camera could shoot. Have to say I was not unimpressed. The key, I think will be to use my tripods and do better with lighting. Oh, I suppose shaving and having less of a rats nest for a hair cut might also improve the visuals!
Oh, and a little YouTube optimization for you. When I uploaded this footage, I originally named it Steak & Potatoes. A few days afterward I got my new Bluray Disc player with Netflix and YouTube connectivity. Just had to run the cat 5 cable to the back of the box. In fact, I’ve not even watched a Bluray disc yet, but I just got Sideways in from Netflix, so I can hardly wait!
Anyway, I mention the naming of the video because I was a total failure at searching for it through the Bluray box. Apparently the application they use is pretty much the same as the mobile app that you’d use on your smart phone. And even though Google owns YouTube and they are the worldwide leader in search, they have a tough time with the Ampersand! So, in the future, I won’t be using anything other than easily searchable letters and (maybe?) numbers. If you have any insight on this sort of thing, please leave a comment so we can all learn more about optimizing our video titles. Thanks!
Clearly there are a ton of companies that are trying to monetize your video for you. While they’re at it, they hope to take a piece of that transaction and keep themselves in the black.
Proper video licensing and video monetization is no easy prospect. Take a look at the excerpt from the post below on Youtube’s attempt to monetize over a billion videos that are streamed EVERY DAY! It’s not easy, even for almighty Google.
And that brings me to Vidli.com and their desire to jump into the video money making machine. With their self proclaimed title as The Official [...] Continue Reading…
You know what I love about Seth Godin’s posts? They are quick, to the point, unusually poignant, and short reads (mostly). His post today, The reason social media is so difficult for most organizations, really brought it home today for what I’m doing in my career pursuit right now.
Hopefully you are aware that I’m attempting to get an interview with Vidli.com, The Official Video Licensor. They are a new startup that is offering free beta invites through the previous link. By clicking through and signing up for their no cost account, you’ll be helping get me closer to [...] Continue Reading…
As I make progress with the project of getting an interview with Vidli.com, I felt it important to effectively use Facebook in spreading that message.
I’d never really made a page on FB before, so bear with me on the its development. There’s only the beginning of some Vidli.com stuff there now, but I was able to finagle the video that you see pictured in the screen grab below. Hoping that doesn’t piss anyone at Vidli off (hey, it was up on Youtube!)
Oh, and don’t forget to drop over to Vator.tv and vote for Vidli in the Vator Splash Competition
Loved reading Aliza Sherman’s post over at Web Worker Daily entitled Twittering Causes Blindness: Busting Social Media Myths. (Thanks @JosephCizek!) In her article, Aliza really simplifies the overriding thoughts about social media marketing and how businesses are trying to use it like they have used every other mass communications medium.

I was especially drawn to
Myth 6: Social media is the new advertising platform
It’s about communications not advertising! As simple as that. Really.
Clearly, smart folks are using the Social Media sites to express their thoughts and attempt to brand their offerings. Done right and that’s a great thing. [...] Continue Reading…
