《付出》

Hans — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 03:57:37 +0000

通宵彻夜的伏案写作，准时响起的闹钟；无处不在的单词便签，堆积如山的参考书；散落一地的草稿纸，久遭冷落的游戏机……我们拼搏，我们奋斗，因为我们相信付出就会有收获。然而最终为了什么功亏一篑？是什么夺走了用心良苦的耕耘？……

Tools For Your Video Career

Hans — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 10:25:34 +0000

Very few would argue with the statement that video is hot right now. From the cultural phenomenon of YouTube, through to the rise of live streaming services, money is pouring into startups from content creators through to service providers. Getting into video isn’t as easy as setting up a blog, so here’s some advice of which direction to head in.

The basics

Obviously you’ll need a camera to get started in video; if you’re a Mac user you might have a cam built in, but if not web cam’s are fairly cheap. Alternatively people like Chris Pirillo stream from a professional video camera, but even a second hand older model can also work, for both live and recorded shows to computer. For camera effects, CamTwist for the Mac is free and fully featured with effects such as text, clocks, image overlays, Picture in Picture, and much more. Fix8 (our coverage here) offers cartoon style overlays if animation or funny faces are more your thing.

Recording

You’ll have two ways of recording a video: local or to the web. Local could directly on to a camcorder through to Quicktime or something in-between. Quicktime Pro (between $30-$45) does the recording and it’s a quick and easy solution. To the web means recording your video directly to a website; the advantages are that you don’t have to upload it and it’s available immediately, however depending on your internet connection the recording quality can be significantly poorer than recording a video locally and uploading it. YouTube offers the direct recording option and is an obvious candidate, but the Live streaming services also allow you to record to their services and even distribute your video out to sites like YouTube later. I’ve also found that the quality of the live stream services can often be higher in recording than YouTube.

Streaming Live

Live in the newest sector in online video with venture capital being spread around a range of services. Live offers some advantages over doing recorded video alone (although they are not mutually exclusive); streaming live means you can interact with and network with your audience while creating archive footage than can be distributed later. Companies in this space include Justin.tv, Ustream.tv, Mogulus, BlogTV, Stickam and others. All of the services have strengths and weaknesses and you should explore each one, but if you haven’t got time for that I’d recommend Justin.tv or Ustream.tv. Ustream.tv is attracting the professional, higher quality streaming shows so if you want to be in that space, you’ll be well positioned. Their tool set including full video conversion makes for a solid product. Justin.tv has a slant towards a younger, Gen Y audience, and if you’re pitching more to that audience it’s the better place to be. I also found when testing both that Justin.tv was more reliable for streaming quality from outside of the United States, and at times Ustream.tv was unusable for me, even on a 14mb down, 1mb up ADSL2 connection; you wouldn’t experience this in the US however. Of the others, Mogulus has a stronger emphasis on professional video and doesn’t have the strong community yet, BlogTV has a lot of potential, and Stickam seems to be dominated by soft porn, at least when I visited it.

Distribution

I asked Chris Pirillo for some tips for this post and one of his key points was simply: “you must understand that (a) It’s all about YouTube, and (b) It’s all about YouTube.” Like it or not YouTube dominates online video today more than Google dominates search in the United States. Other video bloggers I’ve spoken to suggest distribution to many sites, but always making sure YouTube is top of the list. TubeMogul is one the oldest of the video distribution sites, and is simple to use and free. You upload your video to their servers, enter you user name and password for a list of sites (first time only) then press the button and off they go. TubeMogul also tracks traffic statistics from each site so you can see which videos are being watched there. An alternative service is Hey!Spread (our review here).

The other consideration in distribution is getting your video onto other devices, like iPods. The key is to provide the correct file type and feed for services such as iTunes. You can do it manually with a WordPress plugin and by making sure the file is available on your server in the correct format, or you can use Blip.tv.

We’ve covered the occasional content deal on Blip.tv but we’ve never seriously looked at their distribution platform, and it’s the reason shows like Rocketboom, Mahalo Daily and Moblogic are using Blip.tv. On top of the obvious video hosting everyone in this space provides, Blip.tv also offers distribution to external blogs (including an automatic option), the Internet Archive, de.licio.us (links), Flickr (pics from the video), Adobe Media Player, MySpace, Twitter (text alerts), Facebook, Yahoo Video, AOL Video, Akimbo, Lycos Mix, MeeVee, MeFeedia, Meebo, Blinkx, Splashcast, Pando and the most important one of all: iTunes. Blip.tv offers an iTunes subscription feed and file conversion service; users do have to manually go to the dashboard within Blip.tv and request the file conversion on a free account, but with a premium account ($8/ mth or $80/ yr) get the conversion done automatically. A premium account also has other benefits, such as priority file transcoding that in my testing made it the quickest service available (that is time from when the video was uploaded until it was ready to view).

There was an argument between Ze Frank and Rocketboom a year or two back where Ze Frank disputed Rocketboom’s viewer numbers as they were reporting 10x the traffic of Ze’s The Show. The key to Rocketboom’s success has always been distribution, and for a long time you couldn’t open a media player without seeing Rocketboom pre-loaded. Distribution is key, and combining services like TubeMogul and Blip.tv make it a lot easier.

Content

Chris Pirillo told me that the key is to make sure every video has something different, and that you should use supportive text with each video posted as Google loves text. Ultimately what you decide to create is up to you: it may be something simple like a web cam chat, or you may want to get more creative. We cant tell you what will work for you, but the easiest way to start is to get on YouTube and just see what different people are doing, you’re sure to find something to inspire you.

Seesmic + Twhirl is a Vision of the Web’s Future

Hans — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 11:30:54 +0000

Loic Le Meur’s video chat service Seesmic is announcing tonight that it has acquired leading 3rd party Twitter client Twhirl. Seesmic is still in closed Alpha status right now – though we have invites if you’d like them: email marshall@readwriteweb.com with the word Seesmic in the subject line and we’ll send you one.

How could the acquisition of an app that runs entirely on the Twitter API, by another service that isn’t even publicly available yet be a big deal? Let us count the ways…

Seesmic gets Twhirl’s fast growing userbase, cross platform desktop AIR envrionment and its very capable developer. Marco Kaiser, creator of Twhirl, gets a job, presumably cash and stock in Seesmic, plus access to Seesmic’s high-profile funding and Loic Lemur’s catchet. It could have been Snitter or it could have been Twitterrific, but Twhirl has the momentum among 3rd party Twitter clients and that’s who moved first.

Twhirl even got on Fox News this week. They didn’t spell its name right, but the point is that Twitter is creeping into the mainstream and Twhirl is the best way to use Twitter.

Here’s Seesmic CEO Loic Le Meur talking about the deal, followed by our analysis of the technology implications.

XMPP

Seesmic runs on XMPP/Jabber, the protocol that provides the immediate communication and presence awareness of many Instant Messenging clients. You know how nice, smooth and in-touch IM is. Once any of your internet communication experiences goes on in that kind of environment – you don’t ever want to go back again. At the very least, it’s a game changing option to have along with asynchronous forms of communication.

Surprisingly, it’s the video half of this deal that supports XMPP now, not the Twitter half.

We wrote in January about XMPP powering the future of online communication. Twitter supports XMPP messenging but only native IM clients like Google Talk seem to have integrated it so far. Seesmic plus Twhirl, powered by XMPP is going to be hot. Instant text and video communication and presence status.

Video + Microblogging = Rich User Experience

The video experience of Seesmic is hard to explain until you’ve tried it. It’s a lot more than just “Twitter for video.” (See our post “Seesmic Transcends Comparisons With Twitter“) Those differences are going to soften now, though. A combined service will offer a continum of communication depending on your broadcasting comfort and time to consume inbound messages. Text is what the vast majority of people prefer to produce, but video is incredibly compelling to consume.

Lifestreaming

How long until even more services are rolled into this new dynamo? Seesmic already integrates outbound publishing with YouTube, Qik and Twitter. How long until the company rolls out lifestreaming capabilities ala FriendFeed, displaying recent user and aggregate-friend activity on any number of other services – then storming the Facebook Newsfeed as a packaged solution to the 3rd party RSS feed dilemma there? Probably not very long. FriendFeed is already inching towards the Newsfeed, literally, by getting into the Minifeed on Facebook. Every social network wants to act as the central location for user activity around the web, but it’s far less trivial than just letting users plug in RSS feeds or usernames. Lifestreaming apps are making this a service, FriendFeed is the leader today, but somehow this functionality is a logical thing to come to Seesmic/Twhirl next.

Seesmic won’t be able to work too closely with anything more than the recently launched FriendFeed API because that service, for all its nimbleness risks holding out for an unrealistically large acquisition more than it risks anything else.

There’s no shortage of lifestreaming apps that the company could work with, though.

AIR – Cross Platform RIA

The best thing about Twhirl is that it’s built in Adobe AIR. While Microsoft’s Silverlight is coming on hard and fast, the AIR/Flex/Flash ecosystem is made for hotness and has the most momentum in the grassroots developer community.

AIR lets developers write in HTML, Javascript and Flash – but run it on the desktop – of a Windows, Mac or Linux computer. These are Rich Internet Applications – apps that sit on the desktop and function outside the browser, but that are tied to the web and leverage connectivity as well. Check out Redmonk’s RIA Weekly Podcast if you want to get excited about RIAs on a regular basis.

The Future

The second multimedia communication service built on AIR that gets acquired is going to go for a much higher price than we can presume this first one did, especially if it comes into the deal with XMPP of its own. Throw in integration of the new UStream API for live streaming video and you’ve got the kind of platform that Skype could have become if it hadn’t hit the swamp of mega-acquisition. Twhirl and Seesmic together have many of the traits that countless other companies are looking for, now.

Seesmic plus Twhirl is of course just two very forward-looking organizations in a large, diverse economy of innovation. Look at this deal though and you’ll see a big part of the future of online communication technology, no matter who it is that makes it happen.

下一届美国总统应该对IT做的十件事情

Hans — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:14:29 +0000

随着大选年中新一届美国总统即将诞生，现在是讨论下一届美国总统对于IT应该做什么的时候了（无论谁在大选中获胜）。下面是业界人士认为下一届美国总统应该对IT做的十件事情。

1.推出大规模保留IT员工的计划

各地的雇主都在抱怨缺少拥有他们需要的技能的IT员工。有大量的IT员工，只是大多数IT员工的技能都过时了，需要更新。

2.创建激励机制雇佣老的IT员工

美国技术人才短缺的秘密是在雇主中普遍存在年龄歧视问题。他们不愿意雇用年老的员工。他们担心这些老员工经历了多次经济衰退之后会有不好的态度。

3.制定一个合理的签证计划

移民使美国成为了一个强大的国家，为美国提供了非常有积极性的工人。我们需要世界提供最有技能的员工，但是，我们要在不人为地限制美国公民的机会的情况下实现上述目的。

4.制定一个数据中心节能政策

大型数据中心会消耗更多的电源和释放更多的碳。我们需要提供一个激励机制，让企业把数据中心基础设施升级到更节能的系统。这不仅有利于环境，而且还有利于业务。IT设备占美国资本开支的50%。

5.建立一个应用统一通讯的激励机制

大多数大城市的道路交通都非常拥挤。如果我们为人们提供一些工具，让人们在家里使用统一通讯工具更有效率地进行工作，每天早上和晚上在路上的人数就会减少。

6.推动视频会议应用

空中交通管制比较混乱因为有许多商人乘坐的小型飞机聚集在跑道上。这些商人的大多数业务都可以在高清晰度视频会议系统上完成。

7.消除Sarbanes-Oxley法案的混乱

企业经营更透明是一件好事。但是，由于对经营状况有许多可能的解释，这些法规让审计人员陷入了许多没有意义的琐事之中，浪费了时间和效率。我们需要一个蓝带委员会消除这种混乱。

8.推动健康医疗IT改革法案

简单的事实是我们称作混乱的健康医疗IT实际上将增加成本和降低健康医疗的质量。我们已经开始了这个行动提出了隐私和可携带法规，但是，我们现在需要强制执行一些真正的兼容性标准，让所有的患者信息都是可访问的和有用的。

9. 制定数据可携带规定

应该允许人们离开Facebook或者MySpace等网站并且带走自己的全部个人数据。人们不应该花几个小时的时间与客户支持人员讨论如何携带自己的数据的复杂过程。这个过程实际上阻碍人们携带自己的数据。要决定哪一个机构拥有你的许可能够访问你的个人数据和拥有不可分割的权限。

10.学习实际使用网络

你可以对于你一无所知的事情制定一个政策，因为你实际上要做的事情是有一个助手帮助你查找一些东西和把这些东西打印出来。

美知名博客评08年必不可少的Web2.0网站

Hans — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 11:08:34 +0000

　　导语：美国著名科技博客、TechCrunch创始人迈克尔·阿灵顿(Michael Arrington)今天发布了2008年度“我生活中必不可少的Web2.0公司”，这是他连续第三年公布这一网站列表。今年共有19家网站进入这一列表，其中包括800-Free-411、Delicious、Digg、Facebook、以及Flickr等等。

阿灵顿喜欢这些公司的产品，几乎每天都会使用，其中一些是为了工作，例如WordPress、Delicious和Google Docs；一些是为了兴趣，例如亚马逊音乐和Amie Street；还有一些二者兼顾，例如Digg、Skype和YouTube。与前两年公布的列表相比，只有五家网站一直存在，还有五家去年上榜的网站今年保留下来，另有七家首次上榜的网站。

阿灵顿评出的2008年度“我生活中必不可少的Web2.0网站”（按照首字母排序)：

1．800-Free-411

800-Free-411去年首度进入必不可少Web2.0公司列表，今年保留了下来。过去两年里，800-Free-411在美国目录服务通话市场占据了超过6%的份额。尽管谷歌、微软和AT&T也相继进入这一领域，但推出800-Free-411服务的Jingle网络公司拥有一项将广告同免费目录服务捆绑在一起的重要专利。

2．亚马逊MP3商店

亚马逊新推出的MP3音乐商店简直完美无缺。同华纳音乐开展合作之后，亚马逊音乐商店已经拥有300万首无DRM限制的歌曲，在数量上超过苹果iTunes音乐商店的200万首，而且价格也更便宜。从另一个角度来看，亚马逊MP3商店将推动苹果改进iTunes。

3．Amie Street

自Amie Street 2006年中期推出以来，我就一直是它的“粉丝”。Amie Street主要销售不知名歌手的歌曲，每首歌曲最初都免费，但随着下载次数增加，其价格也不断上涨，封顶价格为0.99美元。显而易见，亚马逊青睐这种模式，该公司去年8月对Amie Street进行了投资。

4．Delicious

Delicious前年就已经上榜，但去年我转向了另一家社交书签网站Blue Dot，因为后者具有一项隐私保护功能，可以只同好友共享信息。今年我又重新回到了Delicious，因为它加入了Firefox支持，更换了新用户界面。

5．Digg

有些时候我喜欢Digg，有些时候我痛恨它。但不论如何，Digg都是TechCrunch一个重要的流量来源，同时也是查找有趣新闻的一个好去处。 Digg去年首度进入我的列表，今年保留了下来。在社交新闻领域，Digg面临着Reddit和Mixx的激烈竞争。

6．Facebook

一年之前，我成为了一名Facebook用户，现在它已经成为我与好友联系的一个重要渠道。Facebook一年前只是一家创业公司，我相信当时不会有人预测到该公司过去一年取得如此大的发展。Facebook是我经常使用的唯一一家纯粹的社交网站。

7．Firefox

Firefox浏览器今年首度进入我的列表。在Firefox 3测试版发布之前，这款浏览器一直无法在Mac下使用，这是我很晚才使用它的主要原因。在此之前，我一直将Flock作为默认浏览器，但现在换成了Firefox。

8．Flickr

Flickr已经连续三年进入我的列表。到目前为止，我仍然将所有图片都上传到Flickr。有时我也想利用Facebook共享图片，但既然我所有的图片都保存在Flickr，惯性让我继续使用这一网站。如果有一天两家网站实现互通，那将是再好不过的事情。

9．Gmail

直到2006年底，我仍然认为Gmail并不完美。但在2007年，Gmail加入了IMAP支持，从而解决了用户争议最大的问题。当然，Gmail仍然存在一些令我不满意的地方，因此在首选电子邮件应用方面，它只是险胜Yahoo Mail。

10．Google Reader

两年之前，我使用Bloglines阅读种子。一年之前，我转向了NetNewsWire。但作为一款非常优秀的产品，Google Reader不可能长时间让人忽视。我认为，Google Reader是目前最简洁、最实用的种子阅读器。Google Reader早在2005年10月就已经推出，但当时存在很多问题。经过不断的改进之后，它终于在激烈的竞争中脱颖而出。

11．Netvibes

Netvibes、Pageflakes、iGoogle和My Yahoo都是十分优秀的个性化主页服务。但自2005年以来，我一直坚持使用Netvibes。今年我再度选择Netvibes，可能是受惯性驱使。事实上，上述四个产品都很优秀，并没有太大的区别。相对来说，My Yahoo目前还不支持Firefox 3，希望雅虎尽快解决这一问题。

12．Skype

Skype已经连续三年出现在我的列表里，这种情况短期内不会改变。Skype是我所使用的最重要的生产力工具，即使我放弃电子邮件，也不会放弃它。如果Skype开放API，允许第三方为其开发应用，将会更加完美无缺。

13．Techmeme

Techmeme同样是我连续三年的最爱，它简直就是博客圈的日报。Techmeme我最经常访问的网站之一，而它为TechCrunch带来的流量也超过其它任何网站。令人惊奇的是，Techmeme仍然是一家由一个人白手起家的创业公司。

14．Technorati

Technorati前年进入了我的列表，但去年被其它网站取代，原因是网站速度太慢。但过去一年里，Technorati重新专注于核心服务，并有效地改进了服务，从而我又重新开始使用这一博客搜索引擎。

15．TripIt

如果你经常旅游，肯定会喜欢上TripIt。这是一项非常完美、简单的服务，可以让你的行程更加有计划。你只需向TripIt发送航班和酒店的确认邮件，它就会为你自动安排路线，而且支持通过移动设备访问。

16．Twitter

我简直不知道如何描述Twitter。对于我这样的人来说，Twitter是一个微博客平台，可以帮助我将一些琐碎的信息发送给感兴趣的人。从某种意义上讲，Twitter已经成为我日常生活的一部分。

17．WordPress

WordPress已经连续三年进入我的列表，它在我的日常生活和工作中发挥着不可估量的作用，让我变得更加轻松。从创建TechCrunch之日起，我就一直使用WordPress，所有TechCrunch网站都采用了这一平台。它的Akismet垃圾评论过滤服务使我摆脱了每天近一百万条垃圾评论带来的困扰。如果没有这项服务，我只能聘请一位专职人员来处理垃圾评论。

18．YouTube

YouTube去年就已经上榜，过去一年里，它在我的生活中发挥着越来越大的作用。我的娱乐和工作都离不开YouTube，我的所有视频都发布在这一视频共享网站，而且TechCrunch也引用了很多YouTube视频。虽然YouTube曾给我发来律师信，但我仍然喜欢它。

19．Zoho

Zoho已经成为TechCrunch的一个重要生产力工具，特别是它的电子表格应用。我们曾使用这一产品来归纳和分析去年秋天参加 TechCruch40的数百家创业公司。每当我打开微软Office，就会感到缺乏协作功能简直让人无法忍受。虽然Google Docs也很优秀，但Zoho的离线功能让我选择了它。

其它有望上榜的网站：我已经将这一列表的公司数量由15家增至19家，但仍然无法将所有优秀公司囊括在内。例如，Duels和KDice是很不错的休闲类网站；Skreemr是一款优秀的音乐搜索引擎；我们经常使用Docstoc和Scribd在文章中嵌入文档；我每天都会访问Compete查看创业公司的流量数据；虽然我今年从列表中删除了Pandora，但我仍然使用它收听音乐；我相信，23andMe明年将会进入我的列表；最后，Seesmic几乎已经进入我的列表，但因为我是它的投资者而只能作罢。

2007年度YouTube最难忘的视频

Hans — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 01:02:07 +0000

YouTube发布了“top YouTube videos of 2007”，这些视频并非是观看最多的，用YouTube自己的解释是“2007年最值得纪念的视频”，被挑选出的视频是根据分享、讨论、评分和流行度进行计算得出的。本年度观看最多的视频是歌星Avril Lavigne演唱的Girlfriend，但最难忘的并非是它，而是Chris Cocker的“LEAVE BRITINEY ALONE”，这部视频是为了力挺自己的偶像，由于表演失败而被人指责的小甜甜布兰妮。《连线》网站上面有所有相关视频。

Girlfriend的确非常好听,有机会可以去听一下。
