Thanks for using an accessible video platform Jeremiah. I watched Steve’s Blip.Tv version vs. yours and your’s streamed sooo much more smoothly (no spinning beach ball of death from my Macbook).

In my experience over 6 months Blip.Tv, although very lovely, has the worst seemless streaming of almost any platform in the top echelon of video platforms.

I hope the seamless (or near seamless) streaming is something that video producers and video bloggers take into account when creating user experience. And just because we have slick, hyper-speedy tech doesn’t mean that 60-75% of our audience
will.

I remember Steve from the VideoBlogging community EGroup from a good 3 years back or so. Even then he was one of the more active video bloggers.

Time is a real issue – in fact with the exception of Scoble and some YouTube videos i subscribe to, i rarely listen for more than a few minutes – UNLESS, i have really been told to listen by a friend (which was the case with Google Campfire thingy).

That applies to some extent on the shorter videos too, which i came to through your twitter post.

Yay! Steve rules! It’s always nice to see his face on video. Such a nice guy. He’s the perfect video blog evangelist.

At TedC I’m also on Seesmic as a beta tester. Interesting product, I gave Loic some feedback, wishing him all the best.

Jeremiah, you also need to be on Seesmic. The ultimate in short video.

Yup, I agree, Steve is a pro. If I had to give a dollar every time I digressed, I’d be a poor man.

Yeah!! Steve!!!

I’m a big fan of Steve Garfield — mainly because I sense that his passion for his work extends PAST simple the medium all the way through to its place in the entire “media landscape”.

And it is entirely true that I value how Steve does not “waste my time” with all sorts of stupid random nonsense (and I also feel that you, Jeremiah, also create a high “signal to noise” ration — regardless of rattlesnakes tangents and teeny tiny martini digressions …
