VlogEurope! 2005
WHAT: European Videoblogger Conference
WHERE: Amsterdam RAI Exhibition and Congress Center
WHEN: 9-18 September, 2005
European videobloggers will host an international conference of videobloggers to convene for nine days (9-18 September, 2004) in Amsterdam. They mean to show old media what's new in citizen journalism.
VlogEurope! begins during the IBC Conference (The World of Content Creation, Management & Delivery - http://www.ibc.org ) 9 - 11 September. Plans include press conferences and hands-on sessions that address all aspects of the creation and delivery of video for the web through videoblogging.
The balance of VlogEurope! offers people old and new to videoblogging opportunities to share experiences and discuss techniques. Daily afternoon sessions/talks will include practical advice on how to vlog, and theoretical discussions about the future of the personal media revolution that subscription-based Internet content delivery has created.
With participants from the world over, VlogEurope! ends with two days of videobloggers meeting videobloggers. The VlogEurope! finale includes a Saturday night gala, hours of videoblogging lovely Amsterdam, discussions about the future of the vlogosphere, and reflections on the 2005 conference toward future international / eurocentric conferences.
What makes videoblogging noteworthy is that it eliminates most significant barriers to media
creation and distribution. Based on the Wikipedia definition, a vlog (short for videoblog) is a blog (short for weblog) that uses video for its primary content, and is typically accompanied by supporting text and images that provide context for the video. Videoblogs often use RSS to syndicate their content to other web sites and aggregator software (RSS readers). With an aggregator, an individual may subscribe to RSS-enabled sites and as a result, the delivery of updated content is automated. With the advent of RSS technology it became possible for content creators to distribute media to larger audiences via the Internet. The recent podcast boom was directly related to RSS technology. Videoblogs take the next logical step into the compelling world of motion pictures.

blog to pod - talkr
"Talkr takes text-only blogs and converts them into audio files," explains Chris Brooks, CEO of Talkr.com. "We then provide bloggers with tools to distribute these mp3 files as podcasts. However, we've always targeted a very narrow slice of bloggers, focusing on well-known blogs such as Jeffrey Zeldman and Corante."
"Now," continued Mr. Brooks, "we've decided to cast our net a bit wider. We are now inviting anyone with an English-language blog to create a podcast with Talkr."
Podcasting News has set up a live example of Talkr converting our RSS feed to a text-to-speech podcast.
Many companies have released podcast recording tools in the past several months. "Talkr is different" says Mr. Brooks. "Those other tools are great if you have the time and patience to install a new application and then record, host and distribute a podcast. However, many people don't have the time. If you already write a blog, Talkr will give you a podcast with little effort and zero cost."
Talkr allows anyone with an English language blog to create a podcast for free. Registration at the site is required.

hack podcasting JJJ
It's a new way that triple j can automatically send you some of our radio programming to your portable device. To do this, you subscribe to the hack podcast by downloading a small piece of software that manages all of your podcast subscriptions. When connected to the internet, the software searches for the latest edition of the program on our website, and will download it to a folder on your computer, ready for when you next plug in your iPod or other portable device. This means that you don't have to manually search & download for new programs to download on this website. It happens automatically!
Which programs will be podcast?
We'll be uploading a new story every week on Mondays. These stories will be a selection of the best of Hack in 2004 & 2005 - covering a range of topics of interest to young people in Australia & around the world - current affairs, health issues, music, politics and culture. You can see examples of the programs we'll be offering here. Most stories are between 15-29mins long.
