106 – New Track, Old Copyrights and Talent Trove

Recorded 14 July 2009

In this episode of With A Voice Like This:

First listen to the new tracks I’ve laid down for my new show intro/outro. They’re very raw, so you get to hear them, see what you think and leave your thoughts on them. you’ll be hearing more of them soon, very soon, so get your two cents worth in now.

At Any Rate
More copyrights talk anyone?

  • A few minor (but important) victories for YouTube in their class action suit  charging them with copyright infringement as seen in the cnet article. This doesn’t affect the Viacomm suit suit brought against YouTube directly, but does clear some of the infringement claims made.
  • A Revisit to the Usenet issue. A member of the Podcast Gallery alerted me to the fact that AT&T was shutting off access to Usenet from their services on or around July 15 in this CrunchGear article. While in my opinion the article makes use of a little fact and a lot of fertilizer, it does let you know what’s happening with Usenet.

News You Can Use
Okay, News You Can Use is a little backwards this show. I’m asking for your help in regards to the website TalentTrove.com. I received a letter suggesting a link exchange from the Director of Marketing even including a link to where my link would be found. I give you a brief synopsis of my experience in researching them and I just really want to know what you, The Podcast Gallery think of Talent Trove. So take a listen and you can leave a comment, send an e-mail to [email protected], or call the Comments From the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 630.492.0487 and leave me a message (standard calling rates apply).

Head to Head to…Head?

I didn’t record a show last night for a few reasons, not the least of which was preparing for the GNI Meetup this weekend, but largely in part due to testing of online video services. This started out as a test of video recorded live to the service (which will still happen), but grew into placing video on the site with higher production values. Hence, this post. The three I chose are below: Google Video, Vimeo and YouTube (Yes, I realize Google owns YouTube, but they interact with the web differently). I quickly put together a test video and so all things would be as equal as I could make them, uploaded that video to each service and embedded them, no WordPress plugins were used (or harmed) in the making of this test.

Here’s where you come in, if you’re willing to help. I have my front runner based on my experience and quality checks, but I admit I don’t know everything there is to know about these services. So if you could watch the three, take the quick poll afterwards and leave me any additional thoughts,knowledge or experience you have in the comments of this post, that would be great. So without much further ado, here it is, me times three:

Google Video Test

Vimeo Video Test

YouTube Video Test

And yes, this does mean that something is coming, very, very soon… perhaps even by the next episode of the show, but I’ll say no more for now.

060 – Come See About Me Or YouTube Or…

recorded 03 July 08

On this episode of With A Voice Like This:

At Any Rate (00:00:54)
I take a look at the Judges’ ruling made Thursday in Viacomm’s suit against Google which instructs Google to turn over approximately 12 terrabytes of YouTube data to Viacomm, including Login IDs and IP addresses of users. People have issue with the case itself, but it’s to be expected that Corporate representatives of traditional media and the Internet go head to head to help definewhat’s allowable and what isn’t. Is the customer’s loss of privacy acceptable collateral damage in the court battle?

4-AM update (00:09:00)
There was a lot to talk about again this episode regarding 4-AM, the group and the website. So I talked about a lot of the work I’ve done on stage.4-am.net before go live. Plugins galore, starting with the Search Engine Optimization plugin in All in One SEO Pack and all that’s gone into that. Then the new tiltviewer Photo Gallery using both the NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN FlashViewer plugins, which are great and you need to see what you can do with them using your own flickr account. Amazing.

Then a quick discussion of what’s happening with the group, a new business direction and of course another new arrangement we did. This week’s was the Supremes’ Come See About Me. And we’re getting closer to a gig where we can do a live video stream so you all can see what 4-AM is all about.

And of course, Comments From the Podcast Gallery.

Speaking of, don’t forget you can always call in your Comments From the Podcast Gallery to the comment line at 630.492.0487. I’m more than happy to have your comments and to put them on the show.
