I like the look of Vidnik:
It’s a simple program for using the built-in camera on your Mac to create movies and upload them to YouTube.
I’ve played around with Seesmic a bit as a video blogging tool but I find it’s not very podcast-friendly. Seesmic wants you to use their site to store and distribute your videos, which isn’t very useful for a podcaster who wants to create an rss feed to publish. Vidnik automatically uploads your video to YouTube and it’s easy enough to embed that into a blog post and create your own rss feed for it.

I don’t know any way to have this download automatically to an iPod though – anyone know of a way to create a feed which will automatically pull YouTube down videos onto a portable player?
UPDATE: Just noticed that my sound is out of synch on that video above. Bad YouTube!

I finally did my first Seesmic video today. I’ve had an account for a couple of months but haven’t figured out what to do with it. Not sure how useful it is to me yet but if you don’t experiment with these things, you’ll never know. It took me months to work out Second Life and Twitter as well. Hell, I’ve been podcasting for 3 years and I am still trying to figure THAT out. Anyway, here it is. It’s called “On Fidel”.

My final interview from the X | Media | Labs event I attended last month. This one is with Jason Roks, currently acting as a Technical Advisor with The Real News, a non-profit news and documentary network focused on providing independent and uncompromising journalism. Jason talks to me about the vision for The Real News as well as his concerns about Net Neutrality.
Become part of the G’Day World conversation.
I’ve created a couple of groups inside Second Life. You can now add yourself to the following groups:
Friends Of G’Day World
MODM
The Podcast Network
If I knew how to link directly to those groups from here, I would. But I don’t. So for now you just need to search for them in-world. Or you can add “Cameron Switchblade” to your friends and check out the groups I belong to.
If you’re a member of Facebook, you can ADD ME AS A FRIEND and then ADD YOURSELF TO THE G’DAY WORLD GROUP.
You can show your love by buying me stuff from my Amazon wish list.
Add me to your Twitter account.
You might DIGG the show.
