This year at Gnomedex I participated with a few other folks off the trodden path in a quiet, out of the way room. Some of those in attendance were Mark Chernesky, Chris Brogan, Greg Cangialosi, some more friends and a couple ridiculously large cruise ships outside the window.
The payoff for hanging out in this side room were the great conversations that we had about new media, emerging media, blog networks, new search spidering and mainstream media acceptance of emerging media techniques (they're more nimble than you think).
Fortunately, I had brought my mobile studio gear and recorded 14 podcasts from the time in that room. Enjoy!
Support for the, oh so nerdily named H.264 video format (MP4 for those needing to explain it to a client), is a huge step forward for online video viewing. Why? The ubiquity of the Flash Player, ninety-eight percent of internet users have the player installed on their computers already. For producers this new feature will save hours upon hours of wasted time encoding, or in You Tube's case, transcoding video to a different format than its source.
So far Adobe has released the technical spec. Don't expect anything in full release or with support until the fall.
This could be the next evolution of podcasting on scale with the iTunes podcast directory. Now all we need is Microsoft to join the party.
You can listen to web design and RSS nerd out from my presentation at Podcast Academy 4 last September on "Successful Web Design for Podcasting". It is in the Podcast Academy channel from GigaVox Media.
Thanks to GigaVox team for putting on this series and letting me be a part of it.
Friend and intellectual property attorney, Evan Brown, was interviewed today by Business POV about blogging and the Perez Hilton case, runtime is apprx. 5 minutes. And as usual he does a great job of distilling the facts of the case with other real world examples that a someone outside of the legal profession can understand.
So if you have ever asked about using someone else's work; photo, music, etc., this 5 minutes might help you answer that question.
