Tubemogul: free online video distribution. Tubemogul review

Tubemogul is a brilliant free online video publishing site which I discovered a few weeks ago and has made my life a lot easier when uploading to different video hosting destinations. Tubemogul allows you to publish instantly the same video to 12 or more different video hosting sites. Tubemogul will publish videos to Myspace, Youtube, Yahoo, Metacafe, Google, Revver, Dailymotion, Blip,Veoh, Crackle, Stupidvideos, Sclipo, Viddler and Howcast. Tubemogul also allows free centralised video reporting,video viewing statistics, video daily reports, video viewing weekly e-mail summaries, video viewing figures for individual uploaded videos by day, week, month, group video viewing figures, demographic and national online video viewing patterns. Tubemogul also allows you to manage all comments on online videos from one central point. Review of Tubemogul by Dr Patrick Dixon, Futurist conference keynote speaker and author of 12 books including Futuewise. See http://www.globalchange.com . Tubemogul enables videos to be recalled from some sites and descriptions to be updated. Tubemogul team members need to approve your account for sending to sites with specific requirements like Howcast. Keywords and video type are both mapped onto different video hosting site classifications -- not always an easy process. Tubemogul video distribution is free to low-volume users but is increasingly being used on a commercial basis by online marketing companies as a rapid way to launch viral videos, new advertising videos, music videos and so on. Tubemogul is developing fast with new features being added regularly and is filling an important niche market for regular video producers who are keen to see instant wide online distribution of their new video productions. Tubemogul does not do everything and video makers who publish online should still take care to visit the individual video hosting sites regularly to ensure everything is working correctly, video producer information is up to date, and so on. So: Tubemogul works well, and is really useful. Optimisation / optimization is easy to help improve online video search engine rankings and increase viewing figures. Video sites are developing fast and powerful search engine optimisation of videos has only just begun. Tubemogul also makes it easy to promote videos to online communities and online forums.

Second Life - Future of Virtual Worlds

The Second Life virtual community is settling down after a period of phenomenal growth. I met a senior member of the development team recently who tells me that they are experiencing all the economic challenges of a small country, with over 34 million citizens of which 50,000 are online and moving around at any time engaging with others. The latest upgrade to Second Life means you can talk to people and maybe one day you will be able to create a three dimensional image of yourself though most people seem to prefer a fictional name and appearance.

The governors of the world have to meet every few days to keep an eye on currency, exchange rates and inflation. When real estate prices rise too high they release more land for development – but if they release too much they could cause a price crash, and also create too much space for people to wander around in without meeting too many other people. They also need to watch out for currency stability and when the Linden dollar to US dollar gets too high they print more money.
The creators of Second Life don’t actually sell any products or services to citizens, relying on the rest of the community to organise themselves.

The average age of a Second Life user is over 40 - and many are over 65. While men and women are roughly equal in numbers of users, women tend to stay in thew virtual world longer and so there are usually slightly more women than men in Second Life.

Video conferencing set for take-off? - IT Week

For years now I have had my own web tv studio at home which also is used for videoconferencing. The studio can connect to up to 9 conferences in different countries at the same time. This was needed a couple of years back during the SARS crisis when delegates were unable to travel.

Skype has now introduced a new video option which is easy to use and is proving a useful tool in linking teams around the world.

Old style conferencing was in board rooms and had users experienced frequent technical difficulties. New style is always available wherever you are as an add-on to voice calls.

Expect rapid growth of video calls as part of virtual team work.
