Video

David Wilcox has taken his new Nokia to the Social Innovation Camp this weekend and is putting up some great video - social reporting in action!

Incidentally, David tweeted earlier asking how Qik video can be embedded into a WordPress.com blog. I’ve quickly googled it but came up with a blank. Anyone have any ideas?

Another slice of Common Craft genius.

Thanks to Paul for the link - via Twitter, of course!

WetPaint is a hosted wiki service that I haven’t really used before - I tend to stick with WikiSpaces, though have used pbwiki a fair bit recently for the barcampukgovweb.

By the looks of this great video from the Common Craft guys, though, WetPaint seems to be pretty feature packed. Might have to give it a go.

Mmm. Stupid Americans. Mmmm.

Hat tip to Dave Winer.

I have been trying to upload the screencast I did for Pageflakes onto blip.tv and YouTube so it’s a bit easier for people to access. Trouble is, I’m not having much luck with it.

My screencasting package, BBFlashback, has produced a 60-odd mb WMV file (am back on the Windows machine for this job, folks) and everytime I try to upload it to a video sharing service, the resultant video doesn’t move - my dulcet tones work their way through producing a public Pageflake page, but the screen just shows the original image from the start of the clip. Then, when the audio stops, the video starts moving.

Is there something I am doing wrong here, chaps?

I didn’t get on very well with YouTube, but have managed to get the Pageflakes screencast on my blip.tv channel.

*** VIDEO DELETED BECAUSE IT WAS BORKED! ***

Quite a few people were interested in how the pageflake for the barcampukgovweb was set up, so I have prepared a screencast demonstrating the process. You can view the flash movie here.

This file is quite big (c19mb) and I am trying to get it onto YouTube in a reasonable format. If anyone has any tips on the best way to display this sort of thing, do let me know. I have played the flash movie in FireFox, though, and it is reasonably quick.

Hope it’s useful!

Anther video coming out of barcampukgovweb. This time it’s my good friend Steve Dale talkng to Tim Davies.

Lloyd Davis has started to put up the video he took on his blip.tv channel. I’ll repost them here as I come across them. Here Lloyd talks to Rob McKinnon.

I think this is the first video from the barcampukgovweb to get online - David Wilcox chatting to organiser Jeremy Gould.
