We are moving XOLO.TV!!

It's been fun to have this blogger account, but as of this week we are moving to a Worpress account. The new webiste will be watchme.xolo.tv

those of you who are subscribed to our iTunes and Fireant links should not notice any problems. Everyone else should subscribe to our new feed. We actually have a few to choose from:
Full Text: http://watchme.xolo.tv/wp-rss2.php
Short Text: http://watchme.xolo.tv/wp-rss.php
Comments: http://watchme.xolo.tv/wp-commentsrss2.php

This also means that all the comments are going away as well. We will keep the old blogger site up for a while so that all those links everyone has made will stay for a while, but be sure that after this week no more postings will be coming on www.xolo.tv.

We have to make room for some big changes and this is the first step. Keep watching, we love you all!!!

250,000 vlogs and growing!

Peter Van Dijk reported today that he counts 250,000 video on Mefeedia.com on the Yahoo Video Blogging Group:
We've counted today (since Dec 2004) 250,049 videos in the vlogosphere
at mefeedia. Numbers are always just numbers, and who cares how many we have, but I thought that was nice anyway. On to 1,000,000!

That's GREAT NEWS PETER! Although this is difficult territory. Earlier this year Peter censored all of Madge's videos on Insanefilms.com in his mefeed
ia directory. Mefeedia shows thumbnail of all the videos in a feed. A very nice feature if your looking for videos. However for Insanefilms these were all replaced with censored thumbnail. And I have to say that pretty much ONLY the insane films videos had this. Even though insane films DOESN'T show only vagina's with cigarettes hanging out. I even had one of my films of being harassed by Dutch police on insane films. Should that be censored?

In any case after Madge and a number of other vloggers complained, Peter has re-instated the original thumbnail. Thank goodness. It just goes to show that there isn't any directory out there YET that the users have control over.


Another case in point, WHY THE HELL IS MY XOLO CRIBS EPISODE USED AS THE DATING THUMBNAIL ON DAILYMOTION.COM? Not that I mind the viewers, but I'm not dating folks. Something to think about.

Vlogvertising News

Everyone is talking about "Vlogervetising". I have to tip my hat to Anil over a MobuzzTV for making some incredible new ground on this. He is airing Levi's commercials a full week before they are being released on Radio and TV. Anil is selling vlogvertising (advertising) space really cheap. He's not selling it for the 40K that Rocketboom is getting, which is a lot of DOSH for Andrew and Amanda. Andrew sold his space in an auction on e-bay, but Anil is trying another apporach keeping it so low that even school children can buy ads for his episodes if they want. I know what you are saying, doesn't have much of an audience, right? Well with over 1.5 million downloads last december, and his vlog being in both Spanish and English daily, I think Anil has got somthing to be proud about, and I aplaud him for keeping advertising sales low enough that even the locals can get it on it. Way to go Anil!

It will be very interesting to me to see how this pans out with which biz model will be more viable, and I also think that there will be different approaches for different vlogs. Time will tell I guess.
