Posts Tagged ‘video content’

For bloggers, video content might be constrained to items without copyright. They cannot record a video from TV and post it. Otherwise, they might find themselves in a legal issue. So what would happen if a company brought that content to the bloggers to use?

That is where Redlasso comes in. They collect video content from all sources and post it up for you to use.

I talked with Gil from Redlasso. He showed me how a content provider can use the content to promote their site. Once you sign up, you choose your region and pick from the videos provided. Then just blog about it.

The local news stations are the majority of clips in Redlasso right now. But you never know – you may be seeing a Geekazine video clip in there someday.

This will be the only time I talk about this:

Two weeks ago while attending Blogworld – New Media Expo 2009, I went to upload my video content to TVazine – hosted by Mevio. The uploader didn’t work. After trying to get a solution from the online forums, I was told that the person who could help me was not in the office and I wouldn’t have a solution until “the weekend, maybe later”.

Because of this issue, I lost out on 4 days of video content. I had put some of it up on geekazine.blip.tv. That uploader was working just fine.

I took a week off from producing video content. The decision was made earlier this week and I had begun moving content. I am not sure if I will put up past episodes on blip.tv just yet. Certain videos will be up there, like the “Window7 on Ubuntu 9.04″, since it’s still being circulated.

I had 2 sponsors with Mevio – Eastbay and Footlocker. Because I ended relations with Mevio, I have to end relations with these sponsors. It is sad, but necessary.

I wish Mevio the best and maybe we will work together in the future. For now, the new 5 Tech Things will be found over on the new home of tvazine.com – geekazine.blip.tv.

Thanks.

It was Dec. 2nd 1991 and Apple had thoughts of pushing video content on machines as they launched the Quicktime Application. Since then it’s gone through regular updates, including Quicktime 4, where it was introduced into the Windows environment. The newest version of Quicktime X (or Quicktime ten) will be coming out first quarter of 2009.

Other events that happened this week – the applications for ability to bid on the 700 mHz spectrum ended. AMD was told they could not use Intel’s 486 microcode in their systems. Apple enhanced their line of G4’s with ATI Rage 128 video cards. Finally, AT&T announced they will begin to pull payphones until the end of 2008, where they will completely be out of the Pay phone market.
