Aggregating Video

No doubt seeing video has more impact than reading text or listening to Audio, when you watch video all your senses are focused (that is why we have our eyes in the front of our face, not our ears).

The Web is loaded with videos, clips, professional, video blogs, and all sort of. Everyone can upload and share easily, but still there are two issues.

The first is general, and that as always the services around it, how do you organize, make it easy to access, search and so on.

The second is due to the fact that the current network still will not allow us, to send or even view streaming video at reasonable quality, its either lousy streamed quality, or you risk bumping experience.

I read the the founder of Skype has some new project called Venice, but have seen none since (even though I registered for Beta).  I wrote before about aggregator called Democracy player, but I combined it with another service and its amazing.

Look at Blip.Tv , People can of course upload videos as in Youtube, rate and comment, but they give you easy way to create your own show, with all the surrounding needs. Once you did it, you start uploading your episodes and of course you have now feed you can share with others. You viewers can log onto Blip and watch your show, can subscriber using any RSS reader, and get notification about update, but you can also very easily subscribe using  players like ITUNE and Democracy player.

And the beauty is that now all the work is being done offline, behind the scene, and all I have to do is wake up in this rare sunny Saturday day ,have my coffee ready, and instead of only tuning to my regular TV, I can also tune to my aggregated channels (my PC is of course connected to my TV). So I have technology channel that X is 'producing' and travel and everything I like, and mainly I was able to choose by myself.

The concept has still some way to walk, but its so easy, that you already do not need geek skills to handle, and the key to everything, once a service is simple to used, it has chances to succeed.

Enjoy
