Many Ways to Videoblog
Live from Cellphone
- quality is lower even with 3G and WiFi, not great for anything with text e.g. slide presentation
- resolution is lower (176x144 aka "CIF" to 320x240 to 640x480)
- buffering is a problem (what if you lose connectivity?), you lose the remainder of your cast
- you typically can't get original file, only flash aka ".flv" files
- easy and no need for USB and Bluetooth chain of pain
- qik.com, flixwagon.com, bambuser.com, comvu.com
Live from Laptop
- higher resolution than cellphone
- can use mixer and DV and HD cams
- also typically can't get original
- easy and no need for USB and Bluetooth chain of pain
- advanced: use program like camtwist to combine slides and speaker and stream combined feed
- ustream.tv, mogulus.com, blogtv (allows 2 cameras at one)
Non Live to Videosharing Websites
- full spectrum of video cameras: point and shoot digital camera up to pro camera can be used -> optional editing -> upload to website
- blip.tv - advantage - original file and creative commons
- youtube.com - advantage - traffic and popularity
- google video - unlimited size videos
