Meet the Vloggers SF 7/7/06
So on Friday night I was one of the presenters at the Meet the Vloggers event at the Apple Store. It was fun and informative. In fact, it was so informative that I found out that I pretty much need to completely re-do the whole back end of my vlog. I had a major panic about YouTube when one of the other presenters said that once you upload to YouTube, they own your intellectual property. Before I got hasty and deleted my whole YouTube account, I went back and read the Terms of Use which of course have non-exclusive rights to show my content, but I still retain ownership. So while I still plan on uploading my videos to YouTube to help me to maximize exposure to my videos, I will be using Blip.tv to host the videos on this vlog. The advantage is that once I get all the right back end stuff going on, the feed for this vlog will be a video podcast. So stay tuned over the course of the next few weeks for a whole bunch of exciting new changes.

Hi Jason,
Just saw that you know Chris from Matchbook Films, who is super cool, and wanted to say yay for the blip.tv switch! I have no official connection to them other than thinking they're nice guys with a cool product that I use, so at the risk of sounding like a salesperson, I think you'll love it. Have fun!
Cheers,
B
Thanks, B. I just met Chris on Friday at the Apple Store. After just a day on Blip I'm really loving it. YouTube is good for exposure and all, but I can do so much more with blip.
Thanks for putting together the vid Jason. I didn't sound nearly as marble mouthed as I thought I had. Also dude, I didnt realize you were the creative force behind Washington Interns Gone Bad. I remember seeing it last year and I emailed you to tell you how genius I thought it was. Small world!

Wow, small world indeed! I've been using a quote from your blog to promote Washington Interns for a while. In fact, these days it's usually just your quote and Santorum's. I thought you sounded fine, and luckily I was there to make everybody sound better.
Thanks for this. I love the opportunity to see this type of stuff, especially since I can't be there in person.
And I'll echo B, and say blip rocks. I've been using blip for over a year and the gang over there know how to take care of business.
I reblogged this on loadedpun.com
I emailed Heather to ask her more about the YouTube ToS (hoping she'll follow up), but I went back and looked at the fine print myself and am reading it similarly to how you are--that you retain your IP rights.
(It does appear that the license they give themselves would in theory grant them--or a "sublicensee"--the right to play your video on a YouTube cable television show, for instance, without paying you royalties. That seems a bit skeevy, but the license also supposedly terminates as soon as you delete or remove a video from your account.)
But I too am a happy blip.tv user.
Skeeve-free so far.
Good to meet you the other night. Keep on posting.
