Blogs are passe. Podcasting is so ubiquitous they even do it in space. But video- ah! The last digital frontier.
Fresno has it's on vblog,
iwatchedthewholething.com, which you should visit often. And now
MySpace is getting in on it, allowing bands to upload their own music videos. This is a very cool feature, although it doesn't look like you can upload your video to your MySpace page; it seems you can upload it and then the MySpace editors will decide if it gets played. Wrong!
That's not how it's supposed to work. For all that choice marketing data you supplied you'd think they'd let you host a three-minute video. If you're looking for a place to host all that cool video you're making, or if you're looking for cool video, visit
ourmedia.org. From their mission statement:
Create. Share. Get noticed. That's what Ourmedia is about.
Ourmedia is a global community and learning center where you can gain visibility for your works of personal media. We'll host your media foreverÃ?â??Ã?¬ó for free.
Video blogs, photo albums, home movies, podcasting, digital art, documentary journalism, home-brew political ads, music videos, audio interviews, digital storytelling, children's tales, Flash animations, student films, mash-upsÃ?â??Ã?¬ó all kinds of digital works have begun to flourish as the Internet rises up alongside big media as a place where weÃ?â??Ã?¬íll gather to inform, entertain and astound each other.
Ourmedia is establishing itself as a non profit and will soon introduce some social networking features- allowing makers of media and their fans to interact. Very cool stuff, although be warned: it will entrance you for hours.
One of the founders of
Ourmedia,
JD Lasica did some
citizen videojournalism at
BlogHer. He was kind enough to inquire about Famous, and you can watch the result
