“The combination of video files posted to the internet with a method of updating the content quickly and combining the usability of blogs with video files is known as Video blog or Vodcasts” Zen (2005). Video blogs are not just the videos, which could be found widely on internet, but video blogs carry some of these features along, Meng (2005):
  • Video blogs are downloadable files,
  • A regular updated blog format,
  • A RSS Feed with enclosure.
The video blogs are downloadable files, if it is not downloadable; it usually does not count as it is a video blog because the concept behind it is that the user can download the file and can access it even without the internet anywhere and anytime. Most of the video blogs use standard blog format, which give an ease of updating it so that it can come on ranking of search engines and the viewers can find it, and with RSS enabled on it, people can subscribe to the feed and can download videos wherever it is convenient for them. RSS reader is check feeds on schedule automatically, every time any new video blog is added it would be sent automatically to the subscribers.

Creating a vodcast is as easy as 1-2-3,

Yesterday I discussed how I screwed up and lost the domain name for my video blog Videolicio.us and as a result had to buy a new domain, Videolicious.tv, and start rebuilding my traffic from scratch. Here, then, begins a series of posts about how to market a blog. 

After configuring Videolicious.tv to point to my blog (this typically involves configuring your domain name settings, your hosting settings if you self-host, and your blog settings to use the new domain), I needed to update my XML Sitemap.

If you’re new to the subject, XML Sitemaps are files intended solely for search engines to read. They tell search engines where to find all the pages on your site so the engines can easily index them. The files are placed in the root directory of a given site (you can see the sitemap for Videolicious.tv at http://videolicious.tv/sitemap.xml) and the file name is always sitemap.xml. You can visit to learn more about the subject and I’ve got .

If you generate your sitemap manually, you’ll just need to create one using your favorite tool and then upload that file to your root directory. In my case, though, I ... read more >>

I dreamed a dream.. or How to create a successful viral video?

As Susan Boyle sings I dreamed a dream … Well I dreamed a dream too – I dreamed that this blog would become a place to hear the new changing voices of people (generally known as “consumers” :) by exploring their likes/dislikes and interactions with the world around them. Well that’s what the marketing is all about – understanding the life of the customer and tailoring products or services to make this existence experience better and more fulfilling. Anyway, back to the point, after seeing Mrs. Boyle, I have watched quite a few viral videos (well at least a few hundreds) recently in order to understand what makes them so great and what the key magic tricks of becoming viral are. So after this little research of the videos and comments about them if I have to write some keywords or to make a Top 5 list, it would be:

  • Fun
  • Extraordinary/Controversial
  • Real life experience
  • Uplifting and Hopeful
  • Satisfying – after a good or bad experience

Well it’s not a genius list, but it seems that these themes (or very likely combination of these themes) are repeating themselves over and over and creates value for consumer.

As viral marketing is becoming more and more popular and going mainstream wit...

In the first of a series of videos I’ll be making this year, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on why I joined Twitter, how you can do many things with Twitter, and what I think of the follower/following construct.

Lasting about 30 minutes, I also verbalize what I previously wrote about unfollowing you.

Field Notes: Video Conferencing for Business Conversations

Tags: video seminars
This past week saw my first experience with video conference calling - something obvious to consider in these tight economic times. Some observations -

  • I got quick feedback that my original camera position was disconcerting for the others. I had put it off to the side, which made me look “off camera”, almost in profile, while in conversation. As I thought about it, I agreed - because if I was looking at me, it would be weird / annoying. I do not like it when the person I am talking with is not looking me in the eyes.
  • On that note - when we're in a conversation, I'm typically looking at a 6” circle around your  eyes. When on a business / working video conference, however, I’m looking at a 2 x 2 inch square picture of the speaker - because we all have other windows open, looking at documents / programs under review. It’s feels more like a “talking heads” newscast than a conversation ...
  • … but you have to take the good with the bad. The ability to bring up a spreadsheet or presentation or application on a shared screen is quite powerful - participants can “see what I see”. You just need to understand that this is a multimedia conversation, and not simply a replacement for a ph...
