I had the honor of being one of the contributors features on the This Week in Tech podcast #228: The TWiT of the Decade. When I saw on Facebook that Leo asked fans to contribute by using Vidly to record and tweet their thoughts on the most important tech story of the decade, I had to do it. Within minutes my unscripted and a bit nervous response was posted. Over the Christmas holidays I had to catch up on my podcasts and today when I was listening to the episode I was very shocked to hear my submission!
Thanks to Leo for adding my thoughts to his show. And thanks for making the video available on YouTube, you can watch the whole show here. My appearance is around the 1:42 mark. Enjoy!
I decided to try something new this month and see how long it lasts. If you look at the top of the site you will see a “Live” link. Click that link and you will go to the UStream page that has an embedded video player. This page will contain the live feed that I am broadcasting online from my computer or phone. This sounds crazy but it’s just something new I feel like trying out. Typically if I’m somewhere worth capturing video, I think I might as well share it live as creating a video, then uploading it later.
UStream has an awesome technology of capturing the video and uploading it to several places, such as YouTube of which I have an account.
UStream will post a “tweet” on Twitter for me when I start broadcasting, and if you follow me on Facebook my Twitter feed is pushed there so you will know when I start broadcasting too. You just have to click a link or visit my site and you can watch the live feed.
I don’t particularly have much to share, or have any set schedule, but every now and then I plan on uploading some live video. It will also be setup on my YouTube channel as well.
Let me know what you think. Technically this can go under the “life casting” category and I’m eager to see how this works over a 3G connection.
Check out the video from our entry into the Haunt Your Home contest run by a legal firm in the local area. You can check out their site (and vote for ours if you would like) at www.wardlegal.ca. Browse the entries there. Ours is “The Wrath of Walker St.”
I posted this on YouTube and they rightly blocked all the audio because I used a couple purchased (yes I stress purchased) songs. Sorry for that, but I would rather not be handed a take down notice!
The contest ends tomorrow at 6 pm (Eastern Standard Time) so please vote! (no pressure!) Disclaimer: I have an interest in this and yes there are prizes for winners.
