We're trying out OurMedia for the Austin Podcasting Network. Its not all there yet, I've posted one mp3 twice and its not showing up. I may be doing something wrong, but I sure hope this works.
Videocasting to PSP.
It hasn't even been out a week and already there's a site showing you how to do PSPcasts. Videos to your PlayStationPortable.
Video is about to go through a breakthrough. The forces are just too strong to ignore. Cheap (and very high quality) camcorders. Increasing broadband adoption. Cheaper storage. Decent low-cost display devices (and as the PSP shows us, more to come).
Just a few things need to align. OurMedia is damn close to making magic happen.
To those who say there isn't a business here, pox on you. They said that about Google in 1996 too. You're missing the point.
The Long Tail is about to bring us millions of video channels. Already I'm seeing hundreds of new videos put on blogs every week. It's interesting to see what people are doing with their camcorders.
Watch guys like Chuck Olsen. He handed me a DVD at the SXSW conference with his "blogumentary" on it. I watched it for the first time last night. Really great stuff. I can't wait until he finishes it and puts it up for you all to watch.
A full documentary film with dozens of interviews. All done by one guy with a camcorder. Just as good a quality as the main stream media TV stations do. In fact, better quality than they do in almost all the markets except for maybe New York and California.
One guy (or girl, for that matter). With a camcorder. With one viewer. That's how markets change. Long tail style.
I just can't wait to see what happens next.
