5 vloggers anno 2005
March 2005 is 3 years ago, and this post is about the posts that some videobloggers made in that month.
March 2005 was pre-Youtube. We were still enthusiastic about this, in a different way from today. First I will introduce that month’s work by four videobloggers I deeply respect, as well as my own from that month, and then I will make my own remix of all the footage from that month.
Scanning down that archive page we see that March 2005 included the beginning of Videoblogging week 2005, it included the infamous eyeball-video, the coca-cola dance video, and a video about his Northern Voice appearance.
#2: Erik Nelson @ March 2005
Again, some Videoblogging Week 2005 videos are included, and a bicycle video, a view of a Dutch church, and a well.
#3: Charlene Rule @ March 2005
The Belt, doing the taxes, stalking the veteran, ways of seeing.
Unpacking the goods, The Fourteen Rules of ealth (watch this!), Robot Hand, Dr Videoblog, Number Thirteen.
#5 Myself @ March 2005
Anne Promotes Sarajevsko, meeting Mr. Hadziomerovic, birth of a letter, going home, a day out.
These five individuals recording parts of our lives and sharing it.
Now: A remix of the videos that I refer to above:
Wreck & Salvage Count-Down 1
Ok, three posts in a night here, but I guess it is one of those nights.
Today is a mere 3 days till the launch of Wreck & Salvage, a premiere website made by some great creative minds.
Here is another promo for the site, asking you to contribute to Wreck & Salvage by bidding on their ad auction.

When The PAN was active, I was always amazed by the work of Chris Weagel, Erik Nelson, Milt Sherwood and Adam Quirk. These folks have a knack of not only creating interesting content by themselves, but also finding and curating video content from all over the interwebs. I am certain that whatever comes out of this new collaboration will be golden, and with the additional input from Aaron Valdez we are bound to see some hard-punching media.
Wreck & Salvage launches on Thursday March 1st.

about
Relating to an article in the New York Times, the videobloggers had this discussion:
Quote from NYT:
He said that upon reflection he realized that it was difficult to get information out of hard-hit areas and that putting digital video online is still the domain of "deep geeks" with significant resources. "This brought home to me just how far we have to go," he said.
this is the exact point.
videoblogging could be so much more.
we could really connect people around the world…much more than text blogging could.how does this happen?
we have to actively make it happen.- the last part is a quote by Jay Dedman
So here is my response to Jay and the others. I am positive that videoblogging is here to stay - video is the logical next step in the evolution.
On a side note: Videoblogging from the cell phone could be Huge. Are the tools for That out there yet?
