Support PodCamp Boston


PodCamp Boston, happening on Sept 9-10 at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston needs a few more sponsors.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
First, you're invited to attend. Participation is always a great way to share with a community. But as we've created this event to be free for our attendees, there are costs we need help covering, and that's where we could really use your support.

CONTRIBUTE TO PODCAMP BOSTON HERE:

The No-Frills PodCamp Donation Page
PodCamp Boston is a FREE unconference about audio and video podcasting and new media, being held on Sept 9-10 at Bunker Hill Community College (thanks to the generosity of the Museum of Science, Boston). We're gathering 200 enthusiastic participants for sessions led by the people in attendance. The tradition of unconferences comes from the roots of BarCamp, and features concepts like "everyone participates" and "vote with your feet." See http://BarCamp.org for more history.
Thanks for your support. See you at PodCamp.

Blogger Finally Copies Wordpress


Over on the the Blogger official blog they just announced that a new version of Blogger is being rolled out, Blogger Buzz: Blogger in beta:
"If you can't wait, you can create a new account on the beta now and make a new blog to test out the new features. Because the new Blogger uses Google Accounts, you can use your existing Google login, or create a new one. (Later, you'll be able to merge your current and beta accounts, and have all your blogs in one place.)"
They're adding categories! Finally. There's also drag and drop features to that allow you to change how you blog looks including easy ways to manage content on your toolbar.

I created a new blog, Nokia N93 Test Center to check out the new features.

Podcast: Multimedia and Citizen Journalism


Audio podcast of Steve Garfield session [ mp3 ] presented at Citizen Media Conference at Harvard on August 7th, on using multimedia tools for better citizen journalism from AudioBerkman.

Washington Post wants to own your video


The Washington Post has a Video Mash-Up contest happening where you answer questions from Post political reporter Dana Milbank::
"Welcome to the washingtonpost.com Video Mash-Up, where our readers have the opportunity to create their own interview clips opposite Post political reporter Dana Milbank. We provide the questions, you provide the answers!"
Sounds like fun until you get to the Terms and Conditions:
(1) WPNI will make available to User on its Web site, located at [URL](the "Site"), a video that contains one-half of an interview with a celebrity. User may then splice the video with footage of him/herself, or a friend or associate, participating in the other half of the interview ("Recording"). After completion of the Recording, the User must submit the Recording to WPNI.
"...the User must submit the Recording to WPNI"

What is up with that? In this meme crazy world of YouTube, I would think that the Washington Post would want to have their videos posted to as many sites as possible, AND viewed as much as possible.

Now lets take a look at what happens to your rights after you agree and upload your video:
(4) User agrees to grant and assign all right, title and interest in the Recording to WPNI.
Wrong again.

Take a look at the Terms of Service over at Blip.tv, which says in part:
Blip.tv does not claim ownership of the materials you post, upload, input or submit to the Blip.tv site.
That's the way to do it.

Bang Camaro - Free MP3


Bikers shoot Bang Camaro - Music - The Phoenix:
"Between takes at Saturday’s video shoot, without cue, you can hear them break spontaneously into Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” Scorpions’ “Rock You Like A Hurricane,” Metallica’s “Seek and Destroy,” and, even long after the cameras stop rolling, their own “Lady Lightning.” You’ve never seen a dozen dudes so stoked to be singing their own song."
I know I wrote about these guys before, did I post a free mp3? Here it is if I didn't.

Making Money With Web Video

Carson Daly is quoted in this Reuters article, DailyReel refining Web video search:
"'The industry has been saying 'OK, this phenomenon is happening -- what's the business model?'' Daly said. 'The key to user-generated content is revenue share. You have to empower these filmmakers financially.'"
Hmm. How to feel about this statement?

If someone is going to make money off of your video, it would be nice for them to share the revenue.

I think it's interesting that Scott adds this text to the description of this photo on Flickr.

That's the type of attribution I'd like when someone uses my CC licensed content, but there's really no mechanism for you to say that when you add a CC license to your work other than typing it in like Scott does.

For example, I someone uses my CC licensed video, my request would be:
If you use this video, please list the video credit as "Steve Garfield / SteveGarfield.com" in the video and on any associated blog post, and link the credit to stevegarfield.com
Thanks.
