Podemus

Here at WATM, we are always striving to be more international. In an attempt to further the pursuit of this goal, I came across a site that our French vlogging friends may find helpful. At Podemus.com, francophone vloggers have the opportunity to attack personal media publishing from a number of different angles using their native language. Because my French does not extend very far past “Bonjour”, I contacted Podemus co-founder and developer Mayel de Borniol in hopes that he could explain things to me in English. de Borniol created Podemus along with Oliver Vignot and Bertrand Lenotre, designer and the first French podcaster, respectively. Mayel informed me that “Podemus is, first of all, a podcast and videoblog directory, but also a search engine, aggregator (each visitor can create his personal playlist), and has an online audio/video player.” Basically, individuals have the opportunity to visit, create a free account, and get to work on making their own personal media in an environment that is geared towards French speakers. It’s exciting to think that the vlogging community is growing to include so many different cultures. It’s a true testament to the universal appeal of the medium. Mayel has high hopes for his product. He told me that his goal is “to make it possible for every person to express himself [through] independant journalism, art / music, or more personal things.” Good luck, Mayel! And whether you speak French, English, or any other language, stop by and see what Podemus has to offer.
