Have you seen Mefeedia lately? There is some cool stuff going on over there.
Peter Van Dijck is a really cool user interface architect and he’s working like a busy bee on Mefeedia. Next week he’s going to be coming out with a “Vlog This” feature which I’m really looking forward to. It’s going to make it easy for me to post about cool video posts that I find!
Here is how I intend to use it. I’ll search the tags for “remixoff2005″ or “remix” and I’ll find all sorts of cool remixes. Then I’ll click the “Vlog This” button. Mefeedia is going to automatically snag a bunch of pics out of the video for me to use as a thumbnail and so I’ll choose a little pic from the choices given. Then I’ll slap the code that mefeedia spits out and slap it into a WATM post and share the vlog treasure with the world. It’s kinda like that “Blog This” button in Flickr, except that it is way cooler!
With this re-vlogging tool, Mefeedia is making it easier for vloggers to send the vlink vlove around the vlogosphere!
I wouldn’t put it past Peter to add a snazzy re-vlogged feed so that I can subscribe to a feed of all the videos that people have revlogged!
Update: Peter says that he just made it even easier so that you don’t even need to cut and paste the code, you can have mefeedia do the job for you!

That is good news!
The thing I love about Mefeedia is how Peter makes it easy for me to share my favorite videos– the Archive generator and the Quoting thingy are pretty damn cool tools.

The Instant Archive is indeed cool. The important thing to note there is that was a feature that we came up with with Ryanne and VErdi, in other words, it came from the vlogging community.
The quoty thing, quite honestly, isn’t being used by almost anybody, so for now (until next year) I’m hiding that functionality. If I can make it work really smooth (the smil quicktime movies were often just too slow in loading) I’ll bring it back.
This new revlog feature will make a huge difference I think: just making it that little bit easier to blog about videos and feeds you like, with links and everything pre-filled for you, and thumbnails just a drag&drop away, will I hope break the barrier of revlogging.
