Using Twitter to Make Greek Easter Cookies
 My First Storify Story I used Storify to make my first storify story. This story combines twitter, flickr photos and text, with links back to each original source. YOu can also include source material from facebook and blogs. Storify is a very easy use platform, that brings together posts from around the web, to tell a story. Here's my post on Storify: Using Twitter to Make Greek Easter Cookies. At first I embedded it here, but it was taking a long time to load. Today is the first day that Storify is open to the general public, so that might have something to do with it. I'll have to try an embed later. Update: We're experiencing heavy loads now on our servers (thanks for everyone signing up!) and working quickly to resolve the slowdownless than a minute ago via CoTweet Sign up and try one yourself, then leave me a link. Update 2: Watch SteveGarfield.tv on Thursday April 28th at 2:00 ET for a LIVE interview with Storify founder Xavier Damman.

SelfControl for Internet Addiction
Nice article in the Boston Globe today about ways to control internet addiction, but they don't provide a hyperlink out to the program mentioned in the article, SelfControl, an OS X App.  Tangled in an endless web of distractions: It was supposed to be a quick diversion, Katie Inman told herself last week as she flipped open her laptop. She had two tests to study for, three problem sets due, a paper to revise. But within minutes, the MIT sophomore was drawn into the depths of the Internet, her work shunted aside.There's a sidebar that describes the program, SelfControl, but no link. SelfControl:Here's the link again: SelfControl OS X App as seen in Boston Globe - Blocks access to #email #Facebook #twitter for a set period of time. posted by Steve at 12:37 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

U Scape It - Best Example: Stop and Shop 360 Panorama Created from Video
I'm testing out the new free iPhone app, UScapeit. UScapeit lets you take a video and then transforms it into a 360 degree view. Here's the best: Stop and Shop 360 UScapeit Panorama This app is different from the 360 Panorama App I've been using in that it uses video to capture the image, instead of a combined mosaic of photos. My first few attempts didn't turn out so well. Jamaica Pond JP Licks It's because I was spinning the camera around too fast. You've got to take 30-40 seconds to shoot your video of the scene. Also, you need to keep the phone on the same vertical axis as you shoot. I asked them about this and UScape.it replied: Regarding the “slow” question: the app is pulling individual frames from the video to build the panorama. Our eyes fool us with video because a group of frames look fine and clear—but when you isolate out individual frames, those frames are blurry. If you were to time your captures on 360 and other panorama apps, you’ll most likely find that those captures take even longer than the 30 seconds that we recommend for UScapeit captures.I think the quality is very good. I'll be doing more testing. posted by Steve at 9:52 AM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

Inbound Now #17 – How to Leverage Online Video for your Company with Steve Garfield
Inbound Now #17 – How to Leverage Online Video for your Company with Steve Garfield from Hubspot. Click here for the transcript of How to Leverage Online Video for your Company with Steve Garfield ** LIVE INTERVIEW with David Wells on Thursday April 21st at 2:00 ET on SteveGarfierld.tv. Tune in! ** Get my book, Get seen: When I arrived at HubSpot for the shoot with David Wells, he had three cameras ready to go. The problem was that they were all lined up beside each other getting a slightly different three-shot of the interview area. David was happy to get some help, so I moved the cameras around to get him three different shots. I set up two medium shots of each guest, and a wide shot including both the guest and interviewer. Now there was a lot more interest in the shots. Interviewer shot:  Guest Shot:  On the above two shots, I framed each person in the same way. Also, instead of centering them in the shot, I placed the interviewer to the right and the guest to the left, so that it looks like the interviewer and guest are talking to each other. Two Shot:  The two shot gives the viewer perspective of where the interviewer and guest are sitting. posted by Steve at 11:32 PM | link | (1) Join the Discussion

The Video Blogging Interview with Steve Garfield
I was interviewed by a university student majoring in Communications who is fascinated by Video Blogging. Here are her questions and my answers:  1. Why did you decided to start Video Blogging? I started video blogging as a technical exercise. There were lots of blogs around, but no blogs with video so I decided to see if I could figure out how to do it. Link: First Video Blog Post: 2004: The Year of the Video Blog 1a. What made you do it? I like to make a New Year's resolution each year, so this was my four 2004. 1b. Why did you decided to start the The Carol and Steve Show? The Carol and Steve Show was another New Year's resolution. I wanted to get into the regular habit of making videos and figured filming what my wife and I did on the weekends would be good fun, would get her involved in creating videos with me, and share moments of my life with online friends. 2. How did you initially become involved or interested in video blogging? What has kept you involved for so long? Like I said earlier, it was just a technical exercise to see if I could figure out how to do it. But, once I got involved they were always new things to try, new things to learn, and I was happy to share that knowledge on my blog. What's kept me involved so long is the satisfaction I get from helping people. 3. What made you start video blogging protest rallies, traffic short-cuts... (citizen journalism)?  Steve and Amanda in NYC I've always been very interested in how news is produced. The New York City video blog Rocketboom, asked me to become a correspondent for them. That's what I started doing a lot more videos. Link: Steve Garfield's Rocketboom Reports. Video blogging is a lot like blogging. It's people sharing knowledge. So I like to record events and things that I learn about and share them with video. 4. Has been a significant person (or persons) in your life that have influenced or stimulated your thinking and attitudes about your work?  With Kathy Griffin at Eagle 93.7 When I was a producer on a Boston morning radio show, Kevin Karlson was my mentor. He insisted that all the audio edits I produced were perfect, I love that work environment trying to make the perfect edit. That audio editing experience related to video editing. 4a. How did they influence your work? I also learned how to tell us story in a short period of time, and how to craft a story. 5. Where do the ideas for your work generally come from? I get ideas for videos from news and events around me. 6. Has there been a particular project or event that has significantly influenced the direction of your career? if so, could you talk a little about it? For a period of time I was an independent consultant, doing programming and web user interface. While doing that, I took classes to learn how to edit with Final Cut Pro. Prior to that I worked in public access video for number of years. When the Macintosh laptop came out with Final Cut Pro, along with a consumer video camera, I could bring the whole production studio into my own home. Then, when a long-term programming contract ended, I decided to pursue video production full-time. 7. When you started, did you saw video blogging as a career, or just as an expression? Vlog Soup 21 from 1/5/07 I've always looked at video blogging as a way to express myself. It's a way to practice with new software and hardware, and learn new techniques. The career comes from the visibility that video blogging gives me. Video blogging has led to consulting contracts with major companies, a book deal, and appearances on many broadcast outlets. 8. Why did you decided to write books on Video Blogging? David Meerman Scott approached me one day and asked me if I'd ever thought about writing a book. I told him that I hadn't. And he asked me if I wanted to write one, so I agreed. Writing the book, Get Seen: Online Video Secrets to Building Your Business (New Rules Social Media Series)  , was a lot of fun and I'm enjoying all the positive feedback that I'm getting from it.posted by Steve at 2:10 PM | link | (0) Join the Discussion

The Flip is Dead. What's Kodak Got? - SteveGarfield.tv 4/14/11
KodakCB on Twitter Kodak 1000 Words - Jenny Cisney SteveGarfield.tv - Thursday's at 2:00 ET  Update 4/15: David Pogue - The Tragic Death of the Flip: The Flip was a great product. Much simpler than a camcorder—the thing pretty much had only one button, Record/Stop—and also much simpler than an app phone. You’d have this thing filming instantly: no powering up, loading with tape, opening the screen, setting to Record mode, and so on. Then you’d pop out the built-in USB connector to transfer the footage to your Mac or PC: no hunting for a cable, setting to PC mode, and all that. Built-in software let you chop off the bad parts and post to YouTube with a couple of clicks.Exactly. And then there's this, Live Broadcasting: But there’s a second part of the tragedy, too, something that nobody knows. That new Flip that the product manager showed me was astonishing. It was called FlipLive, and it added one powerful new feature to the standard Flip: live broadcasting to the Internet.Wow.
