Today I am in Washington, DC to moderate a panel for the Politics Online Conference with Jay Dedman. Our panel is called How Web Video Changes The Political Landscape. Joining us are representatives from Why Tuesday and The Uptake. Should be a good time and our panel starts in about an hour.
One thing I found interesting was for a conference that has the word “online” in the title, how difficult it was to actually connect to the Internet. This is a video of that experience.

I’m almost embarassed to admit it, but I’m getting pretty addicted to using screencasting software to create videos. Something about directing the audience through the web with the cursor can be a pretty powerful genre of.. of whatever you call these things. Screencasts are rarely trying to be anything more than just instructional. I think it has its place with the Squares, but its become my favorite tool for recontextualization. A place to redirect the eye to what I see on the web, in this case a trip through Evilvlog which lands me at a video here.
There was a NetSquared meeting at my house the other night. Enric was there and said he only watchs vlogs on his ipod. I can’t imagine doing that myself, but its nice to create content that can travel. Kairsten can watch my videos on her phone. Odd and creepy and wonderful at the same time.
Anyway, Click for Quicktime Video
