5 Year Old Podcaster, Video Search, Movie Video Blogs and do it yourself programs.

Here are few of the items I'm looking at today.

Research into: Podcasting, Video Blogging, Video Search

1. Corey Dietz from about.com reviewed a do it yourself podcast maker. "Podomatic is a portal which enables anyone to create, mix, host, search, share, and grab podcasts and mp3s." Corey says "No experience or particular skills required, either!"

2. Blinkx.tv announced they are allowing free video upload and storage like Google and other web sites.

3. Lycos Planet will support video for blogs. Lycos has had audio video search for quite some time. http://www.lycos.com

4. A new movie is advertising with a pop-up on the New York times site. On the graphical multimedia ad - you see a link to the movie's "video blog" embedded on small movie screen. Maybe you'll see it if you click this New York Times story in #5. I hope you can tell me the name of the movie and the URL. I wanted to capture the graphic to show others at presentations.

5. New Video Search Article in NYTimes

The story talks about the general search engines who are indexing video. Again, blinkx is in the news. They scan clips from Web sites, and use speech recognition software to index the words. The words aligned with the video are a key enable contextual video search. Numerous video blogs are on their search engine at http://www.blinkx.tv

Here's the New York Times story. Multiple hits require free registration.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/03/business/03ecom.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1128448347-LTpFapvNKsMuPS6yEEBpkg Have you tried their software?

7. PodSpider (RapidSolution) launches Search Engine says they are bigger than iTunes with more than 20,000 http://www.podspider/. (English Language)


I thought you'd like this story about the 5 year old podcaster and other Pinoy podcasters.

Here's an excerpt from a story by Alexander Villafania for www.inq7.net, a Philippine News Portal

Filipino life, according to Pinoy podcasters

"THEY are musicians sharing their music for free, a priest telling tales of life in Europe, a five-year old girl’s day-to-day activities at home and at school, a group of friends discussing food and politics, a geek’s perspective on the latest technologies. They are all Filipinos into podcasting.
While many are happy with blogging as their most common form of freedom of expression online, some of them have gone to making their voices heard through podcasting in the last several months.

There are currently 13 known Filipino-owned podcast sites with own blog sites, most of them delivering their podcast files in English. Some of these Filipino podcasters update their podcasts prolifically. Not surprisingly, the method is reminiscent of the days of the voice tapes that overseas Filipino workers sent to their families back home."

The story also reports on other podcasters, here are three examples.

- PinoyPodcast is supposedly "the first Filipino podcast, first posted on February 25, about four months earlier than the others.

- One Filipino podcast, "Mundo ni Sofia," is allegedly done by a five-year old Filipina girl living in California. She gives exceptional insights about her school activities, her friends, and how she discovered podcasting through her father.

- In "Topdogs in Manila," male Filipino radio jocks exhibit assertive male machismo, giving tips on how to get women and making fun at people. In all of their shows, they invite women to their "kennel" to spill their thoughts about men, Filipinos in particular."
