Harold Gilchrist's speaks on Multimedia aggregators  Multimedia aggregators - more This morning I talk about some recent weblog posts that refer to multimedia objects posted on the web and how we need to think about these links moving forward. 10:07:43 AM  comment []    trackback []     Chris Lydon interviews NY Times columnist Paul Krugman Chris Lydon interviews NY Times columnist Paul Krugman. [Scripting News] I have added this from Chris Lydon's post about the interview: The soundtrack is here in three bites.  Part One Krugman 101 and his whistle-blowing on court journalism.  Part Two our set-to about the Web and another argument that seemed to divide the crowd evenly as to whether Krugman in 2000 should have treated Ralph Nader, another Jeremiah, more attentively.  "His rottenness detectors were better than mine," Krugman conceded.  Part Three is Q & A, in which Krugman was asked if we've experienced a "plutocratic coup d'etat?  It's more nearly "a plutocratic, theocratic, militaristic coup d'etat," he said. I hope you can see how adding the additional paragraph changes the posts from the perspective of a multimedia aggregator.  The paragraph simply contains the 3 links the multimedia aggregators would be looking for. Lets find ways to make it easy for the multimedia aggrgators to find the multimedia they're looking for.  One way it to simply add the link(s) to the posts. 8:29:04 AM  comment []    trackback []     New Haunted Mansion trailer New Haunted Mansion trailer. There's a new Haunted Mansion movie trailer online. Exciting! 28.1MB Quicktime Link [Boing Boing Blog] Compare yesterday's post from Scoble (about NPR audio interview with Salam Pax) with this post. This post contains a permalink to the html page and a link to the multimedia directly.  When we write posts that may be picked up by multimedia aggregators and as well need to understood by IE and other browsers, we need to put the multimedia links in the posts directly or come up with some kind of standard embedded object that "multimedia aggregators" understand. Using RSS enclosures or something RSS enclosure like with the post may be one solution.   7:53:32 AM  comment []    trackback []
