Traffic Thursdays | How My Friend And I Ended Up On Chris Pirillo Live

Welcome New Friend!

We'd love to see you back again. You can subscribe by RSS feed, or get updates by email. And please feel free to comment. Don't forget to leave your link and your name.

or the Top Two Live Video Tools.

I have to come back to the Video Playlist tools. I plan on interviewing both of the contacts I have, so it will be worth the wait I promise. I’ll have, at minimum, snippets in the blog. Scout’s honor.

Okay. So one day last week a friend who I partner with on larger corporate projects calls me up and is like, I’m live, baby. I’m thinking, what is this nut talking about now. Turns out he was using UStream to broadcast live from his computer. I twittered about it, then I tuned in. At some point we figured out that if I Skyped him, I could be the co-host via voice if let my voice go through the speakers or the speaker phone (depending on how I called of course).

We spend all night talking and planning to take over the world, (great for me, because I was having one of those pain nights where I can’t sleep.) Then the next day, he has this new show, titled from a joke we had. We proceed to start doing some corporate planning again, and this guy pops into the room, modest cat. We talk to him, and a few more people come by, one of them is pretty high up in the UStream.tv Team, on tech support - talk about your warm welcome. Read more

Traffic Thursdays | The List of Video Sharing Site Lists

This is the second to last post if I’m keeping you up, darlings.

What I’m doing now is giving you links to lists that other people have compiled of video sharing sites. I haven’t gone through and comprehensively figured out how much traffic they get, what their features are, or what the community at each site is like - this here is the free version so you’ll have to do all the work yourself, love.

Okay, drum roll, someone….

This top ten video comparion list seems to have turned into over 40. Nice chart.
Here’s the obligatory Wikipedia list. rel will equal no follow. If you’re not part of the No Follow Community that’s an inside joke. :)
Read/Write Web did a fairly comprehensive list that included lots of other resources back in February of this year 51 links if I remember correctly.

But EverybodyGoTo wins the prize for Dear Mother of All, Now That’s a List for their list of 210 online video sites. I hear there are already 90 more worth mentioning, and several uploading services, but I’m getting sleepy guys. That has to go into the resource I was singing about earlier.

Traffic Thursdays | What Are Your Live Video Options If You’re Camera Shy?

  1. Get over it. Start with small groups of friends until you’re used to it, then fan out.
  2. Enlist friend/family member/cat/dog/colleague/hire an out-of-work actor for the day.
  3. Possibly get an online spokesperson, or other similar services.
  4. Gizmoz is another possibility, or you can find a freelancer who will do animation or flash for you cheap or for bartered services.
  5. Do live screencasts with this free tool, CamStudio, Camtasia or Screenography if you have a Mac.
  6. Do live whiteboards, using screencast software.
  7. Record a webinar or slideshow.

Traffic Thursdays | 5 Reasons Why I Wish I Could Skip Straight To Live Video

If you can’t see the soundless video above, it means UStream is down.

Traffic Thursdays | Blog Post of the Day

When I first mentioned that I was looking for content about Web Video at twitter, MarshallK was kind enough to toss me a cool tidbit, and I didn’t even have to ask.

His report is about Live Video Online, which is definitely going to be the center of our focus today in the next few posts. There’s something that is way more compelling about a live person talking to you, and having no idea what could happen that’s better than any recorded video, no matter how polished it is.

Traffic Thursdays | Concept | Video Again

Okay, I have said that I was going to dedicate another day to Web Video, because it’s getting hotter by the second.

And I’ve found out so much that unless you feel like reading 40 posts, it’s just too much. So instead, most likely this evening (because I have to get someone to do the extensive linking for me, and my hands hurt) I’m going to do a bunch of posts about why you should use web video to market your site, and feature a few tools, etc.

Traffic Thursdays | Technorati Love Update

We’re still broken up. But I got a nice letter apologizing for the delay in fixing my problem. Apparently my blog Was indeed flagged for review as I suspected and insisted. After no answers, when I finally blogged about it, my problem was fixed. Coincidence? I doubt it, but that doesn’t mean I think any less of them than I already do.

Sure, anyone who Googles me knows I have a big mouth. But I doubt anyone over there was threatened by the possibility that my yammerings would end up on About.com or in Google News, because I don’t use my influence for evil. (I’m not a saint or anything - just not influential enough to waste my cool points on stuff like that.)

Traffic Thursdays | Adsense Video Update

Listen. If you have the money to make video ads, DO IT. I can’t keep my fingers off the Google videos ads. I see a play button and a cute kid or a car and I can’t help myself. I press play. I don’t know what you want from me, man. I know this sounds completely unlike me, but I’ve been YouTube’d. The curiousity factor just kills me.

I’ve spotted a lot of videos on Lockergnome blogs. Do you find them irresitable too? I meant to investigate how the pay structure works last time I wrote about this, but I still have no idea. Maybe I’ll ask someone over at the AdWords blog?

Traffic Thursdays | What if Your Site Was On the Coffee Table?

Traffic Thursdays | YouTube on Your TV?

It’s official. The day I get Apple TV, I’ll never get another thing done. Ever. I might as well give up now, or find a way to resist…

Oh, what am I babbling about? Just the fact that YouTube is coming to Apple TV. Here’s what Jobs said:

Google Tuesdays | Green Google?

I’ve been loving Yahoo because they’ve been getting jiggy with the whole Green thing. But is Google far behind?

At least rhetorically, maybe they care. Here’s an interesting speech from the Vice President of Climate Change Capital at Zeitgeist 2007 in Europe from the Official Google Channel. Is the speech alone proof that Google is going/has gone green? Doubtful. But I take it as a good sign.

In my post two days ago, I mentioned that my wife and I are fairly successful entrepenuers. That’s true.

Spill Over Saturday | Are you teaching or selling?

In the beginning, people spoke one-on-one with eachother in the local marketplace, and the tradespeople (merchants) taught those people about the value (worth) or their wares (products). And as things began to be sold one to many, the idea of “brand name” or trade mark” was conceived to assure buyers of quality and consistency. “Advertising” the brand name was all that was necessary. But soon that was not enough.

And Claude Hopkins said, “Let us sell with scientific advertising,” and there was a systematic testing for determining which words worked best when selling a product.

The Official Google Channel on YouTube.

I’m supposed to be going to bed, as I have been under my rest requirement for two days and am about to have my laptop confiscated.

But I couldn’t resist blogging about this tip I just got from PodGeneration on Twitter, who found it via Scoble’s links: It’s the Official Google Channel on YouTube. Below is the most popular video in the channel, which is “Gmail Theater: Why Use Gmail?”.
