First of all the blog aggregator is a bit flaky. Sometimes you have to refresh the page once or twice for all the pages to load. Also, I think what I have discovered about feedraider is that if you have a private blog this will not aggregate your content. Kirk, Aaron, Keiichi, Brian, Yi-Jen, Susie, Chris, Sarah, Rebekah, Sean, Christy, Kristina, Sebastian, Jennifer and Raquel have all submitted addresses that are good to go. Annie & Maury’s feed appear to be blocked by security. At least the feed raider is not parsing your posts. I am aware it is a hassle, but if you want to be included in the class feed you may need to cross-post your weekly assignments to a separate blog without the security limits. Those of you who said you were sending me link information please check that you have sent it to drewke@u.washington.edu . If you blog is not listed it is either a security issue or I didn’t get it.
On a different note, here are a few items that have come up and you may be interesting in reviewing.
I love this site… This is what happens when a rival technology eats your lunch. A particular irony considering the site title and the final outcome of HD DVD.

Give CNN credit: their 4 month-old "iReport" feature seems to making steady progress, demonstrating how a traditional news organization can effectively incorporate user-generated content.
"Widgets" are quickly proving to be a potent way of distributing content in general and video in particular. EgoTV is a broadband content startup who is distributing their "Malibu U" program through Clearspring's widget platform. Here is how the model works. They are small chunks of HTML code that essentially create a container into which content can be continuously pushed. Widgets have gained widespread popularity with the rise of web 2.0 social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, as users can select different widgets for embedding in their personal pages. This allows both the user and visitors to easily view content there. A user can also embed widgets in personal content sites using PageFlakes, iGoogle or others, or can use widgets right on their desktop.
Here is an interesting take on “fair use” in video. There is an ongoing discussion about fair use and the potential chilling effect on creativity when apparent copyright holders threaten legal action. It seems the Center for Social Media has developed a "Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Online Videos". Certainly relevant to all that we do in internet distributed video.
Broadband Internet TV has overtaken cable TV in France, according to audience measurement company Mediametrie.
