Hey! It’s my first “video blog!”

In which I talk about online communication, community building, and a few of the online tools I personally use to communicate online. This is stuff I’ve been thinking about heavily for a while. Much of the stuff I talk about in this video is all pretty basic to alot of people who spend alot of time online, but I felt I needed to share with those that may visit and just not know about some of it.

Links mentioned in this video:
My Facebook profile (friend me!)
My Twitter profile (let’s follow each other!)
My Flickr photostream (friend me!)
Wine Library TV.com
garyvaynerchuk.com

Links to some of my various other online profiles not mentioned in this video:
My Last.FM profile (see what music I’ve been listening to, and compare with your own! Discover new music!)
FriendFeed - a “one stop shop” for all my various profile updates! (it comes in handy)

Sorry about all the weird edits. The original version was almost 10 minutes long. I cut a bunch out because it just seemed too long. I wanted to keep it under 5 minutes. I cut out a bunch of of ranting about how Myspace has become an “online community cesspool”, about some of the benefits of using Facebook, why I like Twitter, finally, and lots more. I think I wanted to talk about too much. I promise subsequent video blogs from me will be more succinct and consistent. :-)

Let me know what you think! Anything you’d like me to talk about?

I’m thinking I agree with Adam Curry’s thoughts. I think it really is just a matter of time before podcasting “blows up” and people may actually make some coin. I’m sure time will tell what effect podcasting has on society, if any, but should be interesting to see… I’ve been pondering starting my own little podcast in the near future. I’m actually in the planning stages of initial content matter for it.

Excerpt:

“It is totally going to kill the business model of radio,” thinks Curry.

“I just did a tour of Madison Avenue where all the big brands and advertising agencies of the world are,” he says.

“And they are scared to death of the next generation - like my daughter who is 14 - who don’t listen to radio.

“They are on MSN, they’ve got their iPod, their MP3 player, they’ve got their Xbox - they are not listening to radio.

“So how are they going to reach these audiences?

“It is the distribution that is changing and the barriers are being brought down so everyone can be part of it.”
