Shoot, Mix and Share Video

//// Welcome to eyespot ////
Just came upon this interesting new platform for online video editing. Flash based and targeted to non-video folk. I like the MMS submission process for mobile users and blog publishing though I wish it created a feed for use in things like FireANT. Guess that is a bit hard when everything is Flash video based.

From the site:
Shoot, Mix, and Share your Video.
Use the eyespot Mixer to combine your videos, photos and music. Share your video and mixes with the world for Free.

Video BOMB (down) or Rocket (up)

Video Bomb – Front Page
From the site:
Video Bomb is a community site where people filter up the best videos on the internet. It’s creates a democratically chosen flow of internet TV.

Interesting but I still have to ask Why? The top material on the internet has no trouble being distributed. Perhaps there should be a threshold system where we only see the videos that haven’t hit a certain level but are above some other level…

FlashMeeting

FlashMeeting – The One Click Videoconference
Despite my early resistance to all things Flash, this application is very nice. I had a chance to participate in a Flash Meeting today and actually enjoyed it. Definitely a far cry from the days of CuSeeMe ;-)

The one strange thing is the cue to talk. I would prefer that it was a bit more conversational and therefore I felt more natural in the chat room than talking into my mic.

Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

WikiHome – codebook – JotSpot
I haven’t read the book (yet) but this collaborative effort to keep it up to date is fantastic and looks to be very well organized.

From the site:
Lawrence Lessig first published Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace in 1999. After five years in print and five years of changes in law, technology, and the context in which they reside, Code needs an update. But rather than do this alone, Professor Lessig is using this wiki to open the editing process to all, to draw upon the creativity and knowledge of the community. This is an online, collaborative book update
