Vlogging News - India, not China

.
'India most important online market, not China'
.

When Leonard Brody talks about business, a lot of people in Canada take notice.

They listen because he is one of Canada's young technology entrepreneurs, someone who also co-wrote "Everything I Needed to Know About Business...I Learned from a Canadian," a book that sold in fairly large quantities.

Vlogging News - Google's Week

.
This Week In Google: From Desktop To Demo
.

It's only February, but it's becoming apparent that Google is going to dominate the news of 2006 much like another well-known vendor did 10 years ago. (Hint: They're in Redmond, Wash.)

In January, the Google buzz centered on news that the U.S. Justice Department had been seeking search data from the search engine giant and from Yahoo, MSN, and America Online. Google received a good chunk of positive press for resisting the government subpoena.

Vlogging News - Your Closeup

Vlogging News - Your Closeup
.

Ready for your close-up? Here come the vlogs

Adding video to blogs is getting easier, but bigger problems lie ahead.

Can’t stand to hear another word about the wonders of blogging? Well, brace yourself, because here comes Version 2.0: vlogging.

Yes, that’s vlogging as in Vladivostok, thus creating a neologism even more awkward than blog. On its surface the vlog is simple: adding video to personal Weblog publishing. For now, vlogging remains an embryonic phenomenon with probably less than a few thousand regular practitioners worldwide. But it already raises a raft of interesting issues ranging from intellectual property protection to the future of text on the Web.

Vlogging News - Festivals Covered

Video blogs, podcasts cover fests

By Bob Mims and Vince Horiuchi The Salt Lake Tribune

Thanks to technological advances, there's more than one way to savor the Sundance Film Festival, and to an extent, the alternative Slamdance Film Festival as well.

Two companies are working together to offer a video blog - or vlog - containing Sundance news, celebrity updates and editorial posts in high-definition.

DivX Inc. (http://www.divx.ocm), a provider of video-sharing tools, and Flavorpill (http://www.flavorpill.net), a publisher of e-mail culture magazines online, are partners in Flavorpill Sundance, which can be viewed at http://www.flavorpill.net/sundance.

Contributors to the vlog are equipped with digital camcorders. The raw video is edited and uploaded to Flavorpill, providing the site with almost-live, on-the-run coverage.

A visit to Flavorpill Sundance found links to film listings, interviews with stars, and items on parking irritation. One entry, "Brokeback Utah," noted how in the wake of the ranch-hand romance "Brokeback Mountain," this year's festival was chock-full of independent, gay-lesbian fare - in all, 19 features. Meanwhile, the Slamdance Film Festival is introducing films and festival atmosphere through MP3 players and Apple's iTunes Music Store.

Slamdance has started Slamdance Podcast, a collection of movie trailers and festival highlights from past years to give video iPodders a flavor of what happens there. It also is expected to post daily video podcasts by film directors on their exploits in Park City. You can get it through Apple's iTunes (http://www.itunes.com).

The podcasts are made for Apple's fifth-generation video iPod, which can download and display video on a 2 1/2 -inch screen.

"Podcasting can be kind of its own mini-art-form," said festival co-founder Dan Mirvish. "As our filmmakers go through the week, we told them, 'Guys, bring your digital cameras and shoot stuff, and we can put it up.' " The project began with festival organizers asking the makers of this year's films to make their own two- to three-minute trailers for the podcast.

"Their goal is if you get enough attention on podcasts and iTunes, then all of a sudden people see there can be an audience for this film," Mirvish said. The festival expects to post new podcasts daily, and they also will include festival highlights throughout the day.
