So I just received my invitation to Mogulus, and it’ll have to wait until I get back home to really give it a try. Mogulus is a live broadcasting service that has many professional-style editing, cueing and mixing features. It also allows for a selecting of live feeds rather than only one feed. This lets you change to a remote video feed and be able to create a much more polished show.
A clever person or group of people could actually create a rather good news program dedicated to specific topics. Interesting stuff – more later.
An interesting post over at the Net Business Blog suggests that sites that have use video have higher search rankings than those that do not. Check out Ebb and Flow SEO agency Omaha to learn more. It’s an interesting premis, especially I’m betting, if using YouTube over some of the others.
My question is, if I use YouTube to host my videos instead of MSN Soapbox, will it help my Google ratings?
It seems that there is a growing undercurrent of interest in voices outside the “A List” of bloggers. Several “smaller” bloggers are becoming interested in reading people from their own “level” in the blogosphere.
I use the terms “smaller” and “level” with disdain here because blogging is about much more than being labeled as A List, C List, etc… Perhaps we can call many of the A Listers the first generation of bloggers – because many of them have been at it for several years. Dave Winer for example has over 10 years of blogging under his belt! These bloggers have done the work to develop and promote blogging.
The “echo chamber” effect of reading and re-reading many so-called A List bloggers is real, and there has been a lack of new voices and fresh ideas for some time. However, that is starting to change as less known bloggers are becoming very good at getting their voices heard. Its also helping with well-known bloggers like Robert Scoble making a concerted effort to listen, comment and engage less-known bloggers.
Scoble himself points to his Google Reader Link Blog as his example of a wide-ranging list of bloggers and information that is not tapping into the A List.
Chris Brogan, who has really come into his own and become a much more well-known blogger in 2006/2007 is probably one of the best examples of engaging literally everyone he meets in the new media world.
The blogosphere is a-changin’ and its for the better. Its turning into a much more level playing field for anyone who wishes to participate.
Some, (including some blogger’s I read), suggest our country is mirroring the spiraling demise during the end days of the Roman Empire. While I do see issues and concerns for our country that may or may not have been experienced by previous generations, I do not subscribe to this line of thinking. Call me what you will, but the defeatist attitude that the leftist liberals in this country want you to believe is one of many tickets on the bus of doom.
I believe in what the founding fathers of our country laid down in the Declaration of Independence. I believe control of one’s destiny is the cornerstone to success and happiness for all. The truth of it is that each of us has this right, this independence to prosper impressively or fail miserably & spectacularly. The choice is up to each of us – it IS that simple.
Actually, the challenges facing our country, and frankly the world, are the same hard life lessons that every generation has had to come to grips with. You have to work in some way to make a living. You have to care and nurture your children above all else. That you have to take responsibility for your actions and opinions. That some people will hate you, and you can’t do anything about it. That we are mortal and life is shorter than you believe as a child. These lessons are not learned evenly by any generation.
My question to those who think America’s best days are behind us is this. What are you doing to change “it”?
Are you paying more attention to the news stories and finding the truth, or do you simply believe what you hear?
Are you suggesting peace solutions for Iraq that appease all parties? Do you even know the history of the problems there (I bet most don’t)?
Are you out protecting our freedoms to protest and demonstrate? Do you thank every vet you meet?
Are you helping to reduce the rate of fatherless households or broken homes in our country?
Or are you waiting for congress to decide for you, use your tax dollars to do it, and only do the job halfway?
My point on this July 4th,2007 is that only by answering the really tough questions can you see the light at the other end. I can see that shining city, I can see that America is an ongoing beacon for those oppressed. What do you see?
Chris does a great job of tying the spirit of our founding fathers to the realities of taking control of your own future. Just like the Continental Congress in 1776, you too can become independent of all the mechanisms that exist to keep from reaching your full potential and really enjoying life.
So stop talking about how things keep getting in your way and start doing things to move past them.
Every American should ask all politicians running for office one simple question: Would you support a nationwide ban on Sharia Law? Their answer will tell you everything you need to know when you hit the voting booth.
I asked @KenPaxtonTX and he responded: “Absolutely. It’s
Today, Democrat candidates for governor are calling for mass amnesty, ending immigration enforcement, and turning Wisconsin into a sanctuary state, where criminal illegal aliens are released back into Wisconsin.
