This tool can be used for searching audio recordings. And example of this tool on work can be found at <A HREF="http://www.rocketboom.com/vlog/search.html" REL="nofollow"> Rocketboom</A>; try searching for the term <A HREF="http://rocketboom.podzinger.com/results.jsp?q=social&col=en-vid-pod-ep&s=PZSID_videopods_videopod0_0_6_0005&sname=Rocketboom" REL="nofollow">"social"</A><BR/><BR/>There are other tools out there for post-production work and web deployment/presentation. A good resource for people interested in tools, techniques, etc. is <A HREF="http://podcamp.pbwiki.com/" REL="nofollow">PodCamp</A>. From their website "PodCamp is a FREE BarCamp-style meetup for podcasters and listeners, bloggers and readers, and new media types of all stripes."<BR/><BR/>Dave, you will find there will be a <A HREF="http://podcampwest.org/" REL="nofollow">PodCamp</A> held next weekend in San Francisco. I highly suggest you attend if you get a chance. I attended the first PodCamp in Boston and coincidently I had many conversations about the idea of presenting media snippets to attract viewers to a audio/video piece, due to the over saturation in our viewers. Then once you provided that draw you can provide the full version to give them all the information.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25550348.post-1163348642727136292006-11-12T08:24:00.000-08:002006-11-12T08:24:00.000-08:00ed m: I think you are right about the need for a m...ed m: I think you are right about the need for a mashup of all the key elements of a valuable presentation, combining the audio, video and presentation slide support. this takes a fair amount of post-production work at the present. <BR/><BR/>I have been working with the audio archives of the Conversations Network and the images of graphic artists who produce realtime images highlighting the key concepts of a speech. The idea is to "break up" the speeches into snippets or soundbites(tagged, searchable microcontent) and use the graphic as a holistic, pictorial user interface to the full speech.<BR/><BR/>The reason I like Slidehare is that it provides an automatic microcontent "segmenter" that makes possible the selection of key microcontent from the presentation which I can use in the same way Ihave described the graphic user interface to speeches described above.<BR/><BR/>I am searching for tools that will make the postproduction and user interface process easier - and intend to incorporate all media - audio, video, slides and graphics - where there are available.<BR/><BR/>I will try to get all the elements of Howard Rheingold's speech mashed together, if I can combine them and will post on this process when I have get something to show you.<BR/><BR/>In an attention scarce "marketplace" I am trying to find ways to provide user shortcuts to reduce the time necessary to understand the key elements of a valuable presentation in order to help users decide which multimedia presentations they wish to put intheir playlist, and at the same time, offer a quick user's guide to the full text and all media elements of the presentation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your commentsdave davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877049576467644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25550348.post-1163294838539435872006-11-11T17:27:00.000-08:002006-11-11T17:27:00.000-08:00There is something missing with Slideshare and tha...There is something missing with Slideshare and that is the rest of the presentation. I can go through someone's slides and get some picture of what they are trying to convey but this is a limited picture. Adding the audio recording would be adding a lot of information that is not conveyed with just bullet points.<BR/><BR/>This problem of missing information also applies to video recordings that leave out the slides. An example of this is <A HREF="http://netpublics.annenberg.edu/node/273/play" REL="nofollow">Howard Rheingold's speech</A> at the Networks Publics seminar held at the Annenberg Center for Communication. Here is a world renowned expert in communication giving a wonderful lecture about communication at the Annenberg Center for Communication but the video is poorly communicating that. This is because I can't see his slides. Some simple post-production video editing and some web embedded video publishing tools like a video/Slideshare mashup would make this an example of good communication. (Note also in this case, the video should probably be presented in a side-by-sie view with the video since his "slides" are kind-of background material. This is compared to the more widely used slide presentation style where the post-production video might jump from speaker to slide and back to speaker. Thus requiring only a single window showing the video/slides).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25550348.post-1163118229085467432006-11-09T16:23:00.000-08:002006-11-09T16:23:00.000-08:00http://www.changethis.com/27.03.ChangingRuleshttp://www.changethis.com/27.03.ChangingRulesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
