Videoblogging using Facebook and Viddler
Last night I saw that Connie Crosby had made a video straight into Facebook using her Macbook, so I installed the Facebook Video application and made a little movie for my own profile using my webcam.
Today I noticed that 6 of my friends have now added the ap, so I wanted to make another little video asking them to hurry up and start posting videos. When I tried to do this, there was an error saving…and by the fifth time of saying the same thing, I was sounding a little loopy.
I decided to try out viddler, which has a facility to record staight to the site. I used the “highest” quality setting, but even then the audio pickup is not as good as Facebook.
Maybe I need to get a microphone like they used for the podcast Lachie recorded in the Librarians series tonight. (Dear world, please note..they showed librarians running an English as a Second Language class, dealing with porn on public internet PCs, podcasting and handling graffiti on the building..welcome to libraryland)
I can understand how people could get addicted to daily videoblogging. Here’s the results of my viddler upload.
Though I think...
First, thanks for giving Viddler a spin. I hope to see you being a regular on our humble site.
We’re constantly trying to improve the quality of our audio and video. We appreciate the criticisms and hopefully we’ll get better and better over time.
Colin. Thanks for dropping by. Glad you are seeking improvement, as generally I love your site - but why did you disable streaming a couple of weeks ago? I liked being able to embed videos pre-cued into my blog.
