Video Post – Tuesday June 12, 2007
After my first video post, I’m testing a few new things before really creating good content. This post is really to test out some work before posting, and also to see if the changes to my RSS feed will include the video feed instead of coming up blank. You’ll also note that this video clip is hosted at both YouTube and Microsoft Soapbox. I wanted to see how how both came through the RSS reader. Video: June 12th 2007 Again, feel free to let me know what you think – or suggestions you may have. Also if you have questions or things you would like to...
Read MoreVideo posts not shown in RSS feed
Just thought I’d let you know that I’m working on this problem. Should be just a configuration on the RSS feed itself. I’ll be testing some changes today, so hopefully, I’ll get that corrected shortly.

It didn’t take long for the concept of Justin.tv to be leveraged into a full service. USTREAM.tv came along a few months ago and has quite a following with rich content, and people like me who just broadcast while they’re working, just a live feed with little going on. blogTV just entered public beta a few days ago and has some very interesting features that USTREAM currently doesn’t have. One of them is the ”co-host” feature that allows you to select a co-host and have them broadcast live audio & video alongside yours in a type of multipoint...

What YouTube does do well, is provide a consistent platform for publishing user-created videos. It does this very well, indeed. But what if you wanted to broadcast live video?

Read MoreScobleShow’s exclusive lunch with Bill Gates at CES 2007
How did I miss this? Robert Scoble captured the visit that Bill Gates had with a number of technology and gadget sites. Some of the sites participating in the discussion are Engadget, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and Joystiq. The discussion was fantastic in the depth of categories of technology covered. As usual, Bill Gates is a fascinating person with some great ideas of where technology is or should be going. Good stuff – and the best part being a short discussion of Bill’s fun with his Porsche 911 in Albuquerque in the late ’70s. Also, if you haven’t seen Robert’s...
