Just getting through a cold, I did my third videocast. I also realised I need to do these earlier on in the day, or then it’s just the Finnish darkness and weather that wears me down. Anyhow, as always - comments are welcome :)

Yet another excellent presentation by Larry. This one’s from TED.

I’ve decided to try new things online again. Here’s my second videocast I did last night. There are some revelations in the video so enjoy it. It’s slightly too long (about 8:20). I’ll try and keep these under 5 minutes in the future.

Oh, and you can probably tell I was pretty tired when I filmed it :)

Why doesn’t YouTube support RSS-feeds? This is really weird because it would make perfect sense for Google to enable this feature so people could follow video streams through Google Reader, for example. I have been experimenting with some videos and it would be really cool to be able to follow other people doing similar things through their RSS-feeds. At the moment you have to login to the site and check your “subscriptions”, which is basically the same thing, but so web 1.0.

Google, why not open up a bit?

Loic’s new company is called Seesmic. I love the way he is launching the company - through short videos, keeping people hooked, always coming out (and giving users) with something new. If you ever look into starting a company, be sure to watch these.

There’s more on the sites of Techcrunch and Ben Metcalfe.

Some guys from back home are coming out with a free full feature film on 15th of October. Here’s a trailer that has been filmed around Punkaharju.

More on the Biisonimafia website.

Great speech by Jyri, giving some insight into the microblogging market and Jaiku. Good stuff!

Woodpecker Film created a small christmas card a few years back for their clients. It was an overnight hit, spreading virally all over the internet. If you haven’t seen these yet, spend a few minutes doing so - they are excellent :) (and they make Finland look pretty nice, cold, harsh, but beautiful.)

Excellent pieces of art from Woodpecker Film.

Have a good one :)

Haven’t blogged for a while, so decided to throw this in for something new.
