A revolution in video broadcasting
By stevegarfield on Sat, 02/12/2005 - 1:00pm
We are going to start a revolution in video broadcasting in the Boston area.
I am telling you.
We are going to start reporting news/human interest stories and putting them up on the web.
These stories are going to show the big media that there are people out there that can produce video pieces in way that's new and different, real and personal, timely and far reaching.
That's what this group, Boston Area Video Bloggers at universalhub.com, is all about.
It's all about citizen journalism.
It's going to allow people to report on local stories, personal stories, different stories.
What's exciting is that we can use this as a platform to be a new outlet for videos. An outlet that is more far reaching than public access, TV, or even cable. Those shows are broadcast once and then they are gone. Our stories will stay around for people to find, watch and tell their friends.
The revolution starts now!

One revolution at a time
I'd be happy just to see some good writing first.
Good video, even passable video, is hard to do.
We're not looking for broadcast quality here
Hi Jon,
I'm working with a group of people who are making it easier to get video on the web. You can read all about it over here at videoblogging.info
There is going to be lots of types of video showing up on the web. Just like text posts, some of it is going to be good and some bad.
I don't care.
What I want to see it people learning how to share their videos. If we waited for it to all be acceptable to some standard it would never happen. That's the beauty of the web.
Good content will become popular and bad content will be ignored.
I'd like to see video from people who were at the Patriots parade.
Doesn't have to be award winning quality. Doesn't have to be long. Doesn't have to be edited.
Just show me a glimpse of what it was like to be there.
