Creativity
Vided.org will be a service for creative people who wish to vlog. The definitions of vlog taken from Wikipedia 22. of July 2005:
Vlog by Wikipedia
A vlog is a weblog which uses video as its primary presentation format. It is primarily a medium for distributing video content. Vlog posts are usually accompanied by text, image, and additional meta data to provide a context or overview for the video. Vlogs or videoblogs are created by vloggers or videobloggers, while the act itself is referred to as vlogging or videoblogging.
Definitions
Vloggers themselves have discussed definitions regularly since 2004, but can't seem to agree on one.
Several manifestos, most delivered as video, have tried to address the question of definition:
- Michael Verdi's Vlog Anarchy, where he states that by defining a vlog as a genre, we limit innovation and ignore what he feels is more important, i.e. that the genre reduces barriers to media creation.
- Adrian Miles, in his paper Media Rich versus Rich Media, states that because blogs are highly granular, a vlog or videoblog by definition must also be highly granular. Thus, linear 'closed' video works which are commonly recognised as vlog posts, by virtue of their low granularity, are simply 'video in a blog' and not technically videoblogging. In his paper, Miles offers several examples of where vlogging and interactive media may be headed in this respect.
Vided.org
Vided is a unfinished system. Not every feature will work 100%.
Vided.org will emphasize on the cooperative and collaborative aspects of vlogging. Conversations and sharing of media will hopefully lead to new creations with the help of other people's media. It is also possible to quote other people's video, adding your own video - stating a different opinion (or agreeing, of course). The system makes it easy to conversate using diverse media; text, images, sound and video. You can answer a video by posting a text, and it is easy to follow a conversation by links.
Vided is also making it easy to caption your videos. This might be
The next logical step would be allowing people outside the system to take bigger part in the conversation, this will be worked out in the next version, hopefully, by implementing trackbacking etc.
