New Media: What are you waiting for?

From Careers in New Media and Podcasting by Douglas E. Welch

In my on-going effort to show everyone how new media can help them in their business, career and life, I am often meet with skepticism and resistance. Years ago, the Internet created a huge opportunity for everyone to create their own media and, for the first time ever, easily distribute directly to their audience. Still, despite the relative popularity and success of sites like YouTube, only a fraction of the population creates media, despite the obvious benefits.

More and more I am inclined to ask, “What are you waiting for?” In that regard, I offer some typical excuses for not using new media and, hopefully, a few good answers that might give people a reason to adopt new media as one of their tools.

News: From A Weekend Musician, To Making $4.2 Million… By Giving Music Away Free

An interesting article on how direct connection with their audience has turned into an amazing money-maker for one musician.

From A Weekend Musician, To Making $4.2 Million… By Giving Music Away Free

from Techdirt by Michael Masnick

Here’s yet another one for the books to respond to those who claim that music giveaways only work for “big” artists. Corey Smith was a high school teacher, doing weekend music gigs. Then, apparently, his manager had a revelation and started giving all of his music away for free: and last year Corey brought in $4.2 million. And the music industry is complaining that if the government doesn’t step in creative content will cease to exist?

News: Child actor David Faustino re-emerges to tell (almost) all in ‘Star-ving’

An interesting article on David Faustino’s foray into a web-only series.

‘Married . . . With Children’ star tries his hand at a Web-only series on Crackle.com.

“The reunion called for Faustino’s successful former cast mates to reprise their original roles, but at the table read with Ed O’Neill, Katey Sagal and Christina Applegate, he discovers he’s now “the pizza guy,” and some other actor will assume his old role as the mischievous Bud Bundy.

The movie idea is a joke, of course — one that Faustino came up with himself and that marked the first time since the curtain came down on “Married . . . With Children” that the cast had come together for a show.

It’s the kind of humor audiences can expect from “Star-ving,” a new weekly Web-only comedy series premiering Friday on Crackle.com, an online video network backed by Sony Pictures Entertainment. Faustino plays an exaggerated version of himself in the series, which he wrote and developed with several friends as an “anti- Entourage.”"

My fellow Friends in Tech member, Kreg Steppe, shared this interesting link for a homebuilt camera stablizer. I have been wanting one of these. — Douglas

DIY: Camera stabilizer

from MAKE Magazine by Marc de Vinck

Shared by

This is really great looking camera stabilization rig. It certainly can compete with the professional models and seems to cost a lot less. I really like the universal joint that allows for some incredible movement.

Inspired by the Steadicam Merlin, and unwilling to spend £500 on that device, I set about making my own, following the basic principles of the Merlin and other similar designs viewable on the internet.
