1-800-Flowers is dumbfounded by the internet
 I called 1-800-Flowers to get the email address on my account changed. There's no way to do it online. The customer service rep told me that she changed it for me and then said: "I'm dumbfounded by the internet."So that tiggered me to send in an email asking if my email address had really been changed. This is the reply I got back from 1-800-Flowers: We wish to inform you that we have changed your e-mail address for our promotional newsletters. In order, to change the e-mail address for your account, you have to create a new account with us with your new e-mail address.D'oh! 1-800-Flowers is dumbfounded by the internet. I replied asking them to remove my name from their promotional newsletters and to cancel my account. posted by Steve at 3:37 PM | link | (3) Join the Discussion

Requirements for embedding, linking and attributing Video
I really appreciate the publicity that my videos are getting on Boston.com, but I've got a few issues with their local video search results page. I am in touch with management at Boston.com, but want to post my concerns here too so that other sites that are thinking of embedding videos can understand some of the requirements for embedding, linking and attributing user generated video on their sites. HOMEPAGE  When Boston.com features a video on the homepage, they put up a thumbnail and then link directly to the permalink of that video on my video blog. That is a great way to do it. Another way to do it would be to use my embed code provided by blip.tv. USING BLIP.TV EMBED CODE Boston.com Mutimedia Search Boston.com multimedia search results are handled differently. Here's how my video, High Speed Ferry To Nantucket, show's up on Boston.com local video search results for 'Nantucket.  High Speed Ferry to Nantucket - Originally uploaded on flickr by stevegarfield. The main problem is that there aren't any links back. The other issues revolve around Creative Commons. Needed Improvements LINK BACK The main improvement that the search results page needs to include is a link back to the permanent page of the video on my site so people can visit and leave comments. CREATIVE COMMONS - ATTRIBUTION The video has a Creative Commons license on it which requires including attribution. On this video it just so happens I put my name and link to my site in the description, but the link is not clickable. It would be nice if the CC License could be displayed. CREATIVE COMMONS - NON COMMERCIAL unless you ask I have a Non Commercial license which requires asking before using commercially. It doesn't mean that you can't use it commercially, I just means that I'd like to be asked first so that we can work out an arrangement. COUNTING VIEWS Looking at the source code it seems that I'm not going to register any views on this either when people watch it on the site If another site is going to be hosting my videos, I'd like to get some type of viewship reporting back. Join the discussion. I'd love to hear your comments. posted by Steve at 7:49 AM | link | (2) Join the Discussion

Three Steps to LIVE Mobile Broadcasting
 Photo: CC Chapman CC Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 Generic Eight million people are interested in what I've been doing recently with LIVE mobile broadcasting. Well maybe not eight million, but reporters are interested, and reporters have an audience. Just yesterday I did an interview with a reporter and at the end of the interview I asked, "Will this be online?" It turns out that the interview is going into a "pamphlet." It might end up in a pdf... Weird, I know. So for the benefit of reporters everywhere and anyone who wants to know how to get started in LIVE mobile video broadcasting, here are the THREE STEPS that are required to stream live audio and video from a mobile device. I could call it a cell phone, but Nokia doesn't like that. STEP ONE - CHOOSE A MOBILE DEVICE  The best device on the market for streaming live video is the Nokia N95-3. This is the version of the N95 that supports 3G on AT&T's network. I had been using an earlier model of the N95 supplied by Nokia, but the faster the network, the better the quality. The streaming service that I use, Qik, sent me the N95-3 so that when I streamed, I'd be able to broadcast the highest quality. Other services might support other phones, so check into it and if you have any suggestions, leave a comment. STEP TWO - CHOOSE A SERVICE FIRST ATTEMPTS  Back on March 06, 2007 I did my first live broadcast with a cellphone with ComVu. There's a whole page of an archive of videos I did at the time. Looking back on them now I can see a few reasons why I didn't continue with ComVu. The videos stream from their server and are not progressive downloads. There wasn't any way to embed the videos on a web page, they buffered frequently, and I couldn't save them locally to edit. Read here for more: Streaming, Broadcasting, and Progressive Download: When a file is delivered over a network or downloaded over the Internet, the entire file is not available immediately, but a typical QuickTime movie can be played while it downloads. This is called progressive download, or Fast Start.RECENT STREAMING  For a while now, I've been using Qik.com to stream. Qik.com is still in alpha. I've got a great working relationship with them and many suggested changes and enhancements to their service have been implemented such as their integration with Seesmic and Mogulus. Other sites that you should consider and that I've just started to test are: Bambuser, Flixwagon, and Kyte.tv. [ my pages on each site ] Please share your experiences in the comments. STEP THREE - STREAMING LIVE  Now that you've selected a device and signed up for a streaming service, it's time to broadcast. You have two choices when going live, WiFi or the cell network. If there is a WiFi network available and your device supports it, I'd suggest streaming over WiFi. I've had great success with it for both quality of the video stream. If WiFi is not available you'll be using you cellphone carrier's network. In my case it's AT&T. (Thanks AT&T for the trial service). Also note, you can take the AT&T SIM chip out of an iPhone and use it in a Nokia N95. On Qik, you run the application and press STREAM. Then you are love streaming to both the Qik.com home page and your personal Qik.com page. Mine is Qik.com/stevegarfield. That's it. If you start streaming, let me know... Additional points to consider: NOTIFICATION  When you start streaming live, you'll want to notify people. With Qik.com, you can set it up to automatically send out a message via Twitter to notify y our subscribers that you'll be going live. You can follow me on twitter over at http://twitter.com/stevegarfield. You might also want to consider setting up an email list to let your audience know when you are going live. Not everyone is on twitter. I know. Weird huh? SCHEDULED LIVE STREAMS If you might know beforehand when you are going to go live, you could put put the word that you'll be streaming at a certain time, and then people can get the word out ahead of time. I've also set up a webpage with an embedded Qik video, http://www.stevegarfield.com/live/, so that whenever I go live, the stream shows up on that page. That way, if I was going to an event where I'll be streaming throughout hte day, viewers could leave the page up on their computer and whenever I started streaming, the live video would show up right there.

Jeremiah Wright's "Audacity To Hope" sermon in 1990
 The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan | For the Record: "Have the audacity to hope for that child of yours. Have the audacity to hope for that home of yours. Have the audacity to hope for that church of yours. Whatever it is you've been praying for, keep on praying, and you may find, like my grandmother sings, 'There's a bright side somewhere; there is a bright side somewhere. Don't you rest until you find it, for there is a bright side somewhere.'"via [ L.C. ] "Hope" by a Victorian artist called George Frederic Watts. Watts' Hope portrays a blindfolded woman with a broken lyre. Watts was expressing the sentiments of such popular aphorisms as 'Never despair' or 'Where there is life there is hope', though his painting seems to be suggesting the opposite. The Victorian public understood his message, however, and the painting became enormously popular, especially after it was reproduced as an engraving.

First Post on bambuser
 Watch this video at bambuser Got my signup straightened out and signed on to the mobile phone broadcasting service bambuser. After downloading the application to my N95, and saving some settings, I ran the application and was live streaming right away. I was streaming so quickly that I didn't even realize it. Nice quality. I just reset the auto-start option so it doesn't stream on application launch... I need time to get all my lighting set, make up ready and scripts memorized to make it look authentic and real. :-) Labels: bambuser posted by Steve at 3:04 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

New Media Expo: August 14-16, 2008 My session: Your Mobile Phone: The Ultimate Personal Media Creation Tool Track 5: New Media Strategies Instructor: Steve Garfield of SteveGarfield.com Room: N250 Description: You may think you need expensive HD video cameras and a Ph.D in video editing software to create interesting content. But no! Inexpensive video cameras available on many cell phones today can be used to tell stories without a lot of editing and without expensive lighting and time-intensive pre-planning. In this session, you'll learn how to convey your ideas and stories in a way that will capture the attention of the viewer and keep them coming back for more. Practical tips for mobile video blogging will be discussed so that you can start creating content the moment you step outside the workshop door. You'll also learn the best places to post your content, how to best present the video clips on your website or blog, and how to get attention for your media early-on.

He will speak at the show. “They are going to meet lots of people and figuring out what to do next.

SXSW is a Camp I Like
 I'm going to SXSW for the third year in a row to reconnect with friends that I only see at conferences. Its like heading back to summer camp, although SXSW is a camp I like, as opposed to the camp my parents made me go to when I was little. That I didn't like so much. In addition to seeing old friends, I'm looking forward to meeting internet friends like Sarah Meyers of Pop17 and Gary Vaynerchuk of winelibrary.tv who I haven't met in person.  As one of the organizers of the first vloggercon back in 2005, I understand first hand how important video is in enabling friendships to develop between people across great distances. I remember the first time I met Jay Dedman. We'd been watching each other's videos and communicating online for six months before meeting in person, and when we finally met, it was like we already knew each other.  I've had this experience many times since, including the second vloggercon in San Francisco in 2006. There is now wealth of new media conferences including the NewTeeVee conference , the New Media Expo and Podcamps around the world where the web video community can get together. SXSW is unique in that it combines Interactive, Film and Music. I enjoy the sharing of ideas that happens when more than just a bunch of video producers get together. SXSW is THE place for videobloggers.... It's centrally located, there are lots of chances to meet each other 'out in the hallways', in the sessions, and at the after parties. The podcamp's are usually regional and videobloggers from far away don't travel to all of them. So if you do go to one, you'll get a subset of vloggers. Other industry conferences might have a business or a television industry focus so those wouldn't attract a number of videobloggers either. There is a gathering in LA called Pixelodeon which atttracted a good number of videobloggers last year. Almost all of my video blogging friends are going...  56 videobloggers have added their names to this list: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/419988/ Quickly looking at it I see, Susan Kirkpatrick, Jonny Goldstein, Steve Woolf, Eddie Codel, Casey McKinnon, Chuck Olsen, Irina Slutsky, Zadi Diaz, Tim Shey, Bre Pettis, Laura Fitton, CC Chapman, Micki Krimmel, Andy Carvin, Erin Nealey, Robert Scoble, Roxanne Darling, Sunny Gault, Rocketboom , Kenyatta Cheese, and I know a bunch more are going and are not on the list. I just searched Twitter for 'SXSW and video': And followed this link: sandieman awesome SXSW 2007 Video: http://sxswvideos.com/v/63d9a4aa/ Which went to MY OWN video from SXSW 2007... So cool...
