Kudos to the organizers of Vloggercon who put together a thoroughly impressive set of tools for those of us who could not make it to San Francisco for the conference. Here is the schedule, along with Quicktime streaming video and an IRC chat room for both of the main rooms at Vloggercon, which has made it so that we can see and hear what’s going on (with a slight delay) as well as interact with participants and non-participants around the world.
For video, I had good luck doing a click and hold on the “click to play” movie for each room, doing a “save as source” to my desktop and then opening that .mov with Quicktime. This way it was easy to resize and watch the video on my screen (without the rest of the HTML web page) while chatting in Java-based IRC in a browser. Alternatively, you can open Quicktime and go under File to “Open URL” and put in http://vloggercon.com/live/vlogger1.mov or vlogger2.mov for the two rooms.
I’m hoping some of the participants are posting videos of some of the highlights, such as Peter Van Dijk’s inspirational keynote opening, Jay Dedman’s call for vloggers to get beyond the initial stages of excitement about the technology and focus on content and the message, and the possibilities of vlogging to give a voice to people who otherwise may not have a voice in the “Political Vlogging and Social Change” panel. Blip.TV has set up a special place for all Vloggercon-related videos at http://vlogercon.blip.tv so go check them out!
Today (Sunday), Vloggercon will again stream live from 12 noon until 6 p.m. Pacific. I look forward to seeing friends and colleagues in the very clear stream!

It’s not easy to tell you the facts without coming across as totally self-serving.
Full disclosure – I am the CEO of StreamerNet and I have over 27 years experience in high-tech markets and products. The bottom line is that it’s a noisy world out there and it is increasingly difficult to rise above the din. Please treat yourself to a look-see at the StreamerNet Mobile Video Producer http://www.streamernet.com/html/solutions.html to see how we can simplify all things video.
StreamerNet offers a unique set of visual communication tools that enable desktop delivery of video email, personalized coordination of highly-private OnDemand video hosting and delivery, and sophisticated reporting solutions to manage Enterprise knowledge base requirements. Additional features enable the creation and distribution of easy and affordable web-based video advertising.
This is definitely not about those Video Amusement Portals and I am simply compelled to tell you about it. Please let me know if I can personally assist you with answers or insights.
Regards
Bill
