Gadgets and Tech on YouTube?

I have been thinking about making some YouTube videos. I think that I could make some really good quality videos that could cover all of the things we do on this blog. Things like technology, gaming, gadgets, and computers. This would also give us a chance to make some good hardware reviews.

Thecreativeone has made some great videos and I would love to do what he does. Chris Pirillo is another guy that talks a lot of tech and he also does a lot of videos on YouTube. So, tell me what you think, should we give this a try and make some videos? I think it would be a lot of fun and it would give us some more publicity. Tell us what you think.

Is Vimeo better than YouTube?

After reading an article in the MacWorld magazine titled “Share your videos online”, I thought about what they said about Vimeo. Vimeo seems to be a great place to share your videos with the world, almost if not better than the most popular YouTube. So, lets take a look at what makes the two different.

One of the things that stands out to me is their maximum file size limit. At YouTube you can only have a file up to 100MB which is approximately 10 minutes of video. For most casual video makers this would be plenty, but if you make a long video such as a podcast that might not be enough. So how much does Vimeo have? Vimeo lets you upload a video as long as you want. Score 1 for Vimeo.

Another decider that might be big for some people is HD content. Many people now have many HD things…camcorders, cameras, TV’s, etc. YouTube doesn’t allow HD content to be posted and even if it is posted it won’t be shown in HD. Vimeo on the other hand allows HD content to be posted and it looks phenomenal. Score 2 for Vimeo.

The next one is kind of a given… an embedded video player. Both of them have this feature because they should. There is one more little thing that I noticed, it is that Vimeo’s video player looks really good. When you move your mouse across it there are many options that you can choose, such as putting HD off or on, the embedded code, and a sharing link.

I personally am starting to ask the question, “Can YouTube keep up with Vimeo?” If you look at all of these cool things that I metioned, there are some really cool things that YouTube should start looking into or it will start to fall behind.

Vista is better than OS X?

I like to hear what Chris Pirillo has to say, and I watch a lot of his video’s. I came across one today and I completely agreed with him. In my mind he couldn’t have been more right. This guy Preston Gralla, made a list and posted 5 reasons why Vista is better than Mac OS X. His 5 reasons were…

1. Vista Runs more software
2. Vista is safer
3. It’s the money, stupid
4. Mac is closed, Vista is open
5. Two words- Steve Jobs

You can check out what Chris thought of this on his YouTube video (below). This is the post that he wrote on his blog.

 

A Sneek Peek of the new Call of Duty 4 Map Pack

It looks like we have just seen the a new “sneek peek” of the new map pack that is coming out for at least the Xbox 360 and PS3, I’m not sure how or if they are releasing the maps for the PC. The map names are Broadcast, Creek, Chinatown, and Killhouse. They all look really good and I can’t wait until they get released.
