Comment on Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?...
So glad you brought this to light. I’ve noticed several people, like worship cafe, will host for a short time, embed to their site, then pull the videos back off as they begin to get a lot of youTube traffic (past the dates of their hosting interviews with musicians). We should probably just not leave things up long term in those cases, similarly. Also, Chrisi, what you propose may work for...

Comment on Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?...
I would say for large churches and ministries it is best to keep most of their content off of You Tube because of the terms of use policy. However, I would suggest putting up video trailers, promos or viral films that will create awareness of a resources, ministry strategy, etc.

Guideline for Online Community (and Blogging)
Colossians 4:5-6 (NLT) Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. I’m going to be OOO (Out Of the Office) for a few weeks. Posting may be slow around here.

Vacation
We’re leaving this afternoon to go on a family vacation cruise. We’re flying to Florence then start the cruise in Venice. Trip ends in Barcelona. Here are the ports we’ll dock… View Larger Map See y’all in late September. Oh, but since I usually make it a habit to schedule some videos to appear on this blog for your entertainment while I’m gone, I’ve done that again for you. Every Monday,...
Comment on Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?...
Even a casual glance at YouTube would let you know that once posted, anything goes, regardless of the Terms and Conditions. So if you care about controlling your content, YouTube is not the place to post it.

Comment on Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?...
What I suggest is hosting on one of the new Christian “YouTube” sites. zigvid.com is a new Christian/family-friendly video sharing website, where are content is pre-screened (including comments) and to ensure a safe, clean environment. This way you can enjoy free video hosting, embedding capabilities AND maintain the integrity of your content and community.

How to Know You’ve Arrived on the Internets
You think you’ve got a big enough digital footprint on the internets?
Here’s the test: if you can have a link on your blog for “About Me” to go to a wikipedia entry for your name, then you’ve arrived.
Robert Scoble has arrived.
Yes, that’s not news to many people. It’s really more of an observation.

“Watching” Clemson Football
This is how I’m “watching” the Clemson game today:

Here’s a screenshot of my desktop
Last week I did the Twitter updates for the Clemson-FSU game. I’ll do a few more later in the season. Today it’s my buddy Jeff Quinton doing the live twits.

Nooooooooooooo! But he’s right.
I hate it when people like this are right. A guy named Rob (not me) is also the Business Pundit (so says his blog). ‘Tis a good blog I like to follow.
But I hate it when he’s right about stuff like this post: Why I Gave Up Deserts To Become a Better Entrepreneur:

Comment on Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?...
This is my off the cuff answer—I think it helps to know exactly what your intended destination is in terms of use. If you’re planning on making money off it, then maybe just put a clip on youtube and say “For the full version, visit etc.” But for many of us, we want to make videos that get a point across, and we want people to see it. the fear that someone will spread it without me knowing, or...
Videos: YouTube it or Host it Yourself?
Would love to get your comments and weigh-in here. I used to be a big proponent of uploading creative and ministry-oriented videos to YouTube. I’m a little more cautious now after talking with several staff and reading about someone’s copyright conundrum with YouTube. Here’s what I like about hosting a video at YouTube: free hosting

Web from a Marketer’s Point of View
There is a really interesting video featuring Seth Godin. The video is less than 7 minutes long. He talks about the history of the web from a marketing point of view and where he thinks it’s going. Near the end he talks about the role he thinks social networks like MySpace, Facebook, and Linked In play and how blogs fit into the online conversation.
Can’t say all of the video is pertinent to...

I know from reading the stats on this blog that most of you access this site via RSS. I love it!
But about two-thirds of you are not using Google Reader. And honestly that’s cool with me. But I did want you to know that ever since I switched to gReader, sifting through my RSS feeds has been so much faster and more efficient. I really can’t think of a better way to improve and streamline...

Google Reader Improvements
Well I’ll be! Google has gone and done a novel thing. They have added Google search to Google Reader. I’m still perplexed why it took so long. Seemed like a no-brainer. Guess that’s why I’m not working for them. They also changed the unread items numbering system they used. It used to be if you had over 100 items unread, it would just say 100+ items. Now it gives you the number. And I...

Tools for eMinistry
I’ve been contemplating these notes I jotted down a while back and revisited it this morning. Would love your feedback. We need our tools to help us:

2. build relationships moving to mentoring (teach & train) The tools may change based on:
1. geography
2. interest
3. time

Felix the Cat 5 lands
Dang. Nicaragua is getting slammed this morning by a Category 5 hurricane, Felix. It almost seems that the 2007 pattern is low in the Caribbean which means Central America and the Yucatan may be in for a long hurricane season (like Central Florida in 2004, North Carolina in another year I can’t remember). These ‘canes seem to go in patterns. And check this out: Felix is the second category 5...

Based on unsolicited feedback from a few people (yes, I have a flimsy spine), I’m turning off the status updates that appear on this blog. You know, they are the one-line things telling you what I’m up to: my micro-blogging.
So from now on if you wanna know what I’m up to, you can follow me in Facebook (private unless you’re my friend) or Twitter (public).
