Google Privacy Principles Video


An easy to understand video, demonstrating and describing Google’s Privacy Principles. Shows what type of data they might collect, how they’d use it, and how you can lock down the privacy of that data.

Cartoon action with voice over best describes this video. Younger audience members will be able to understand this as well.

Apple iPad Video via YouTube


iPad, it’s a new breed of technology. That’s the phrase that stuck with me watching this video.  This isn’t really a review of the product; it’s more of sharing the passion video by Apple employees.

If you watch this and don’t want one I’d be surprised. Enjoy.

President Barack Obama Sets New Media Bar


I’m happy about this video. It’s not about the politics for me though, it’s about the video. Today the Presidential Office has broken new ground in communicating to our children, and to the nation as a whole.

Television is no longer king. It’s been replaced by high quality video, video you can embed, share, rewind, mix and more. Video no longer controlled by the media, the fourth estate.

This speech will not just reach the millions that watched it live, but the many more millions that will watch it online. Imagine how many beyond those in generations to come that will be watching it, and in how many languages.

Bonus? The Whitehouse is the one sharing it out. Media embedding is even encouraged on the Media Resources site.

This is a trend I hope not only continues but grows to become commonplace in all levels of politics. The President has set the bar; who will rise to it?

Putting Video in a Wordpress Blog


I’d love to give you some long drawn out explanation, especially one with lots of keywords and links to store bought goodness, but instead, you get a video. A video from Michael Martine, aka Remarkablogger.

The video demonstrates how to add a YouTube video to a Wordpress post. Note that this will only work with hosted Wordpress and not Wordpress.com sites.

Utterli – Blog Traffic Driver


A lot of bloggers out there are looking for more ways to drive traffic. A goodly portion of them are looking into social networking and social media to do that.

Most overlook the obvious though, posting where the audience is. This could mean that you need to bring the topics, writing and etc into the realm your real audience is at. This can also mean going online to where your readers are.

Utterli really allows you to address both of those. Through straight observation of my own stream of posts here, and how the impact they have, I’ve been drawn to that conclusion.

Utterli has turned out to turn up surprisingly well on search traffic. The stats aren’t revealed but based on the pass through on partial posts here to my primary blog, it turns up a fair amount of my blog hits.

Utterli supports multimedia posts. The best part, it’s easy to include. This allows you to share a photograph, video, written word, or audio, or all of the above. This works great for sharing a post that contains a recording which is transcribed in the text portion. Makes it searchable as well.

Utterli has a receptive viewing audience. Again, just my own observation here, but it’s not unusual for a typical post here of mine to get well over 100 hits with some around 800 or more hits.

Utterli has another benefit, you can blog from anywhere. The Utterli mobile page works great for getting a blog post out to your blog, with the added benefit of instant cross posting.

Yes, cross-posting. Utterli was the original post once, post many platform. Before ping.fm and the sort, you could do that here on Utterli. Utterlie integrates with several of the most popular social networking and media services as well as all types of blogging platforms.

I’ve posted posts from my Blackberry already. I’ve posted from here to YouTube, Blogger, Twitter, Wordpress, and more. Added bonus, tags carry through.

So if you want to be able to reach your audience where they are you don’t have to log into all of those services or post to them, you can post here, once.

You can even share posts you’ve placed here later or multiple times to each of the associated platforms. Posts here also have permalinks, and allow discussion.

Before Seesmic was usable in comments, you could leave full multimedia comments here on Utterli. And, bonus!, comments here show up on pushed through posts to the blogs as a comment counter.

So before you go looking to spend lots of time on other platforms trying to post in 20 places, consider using Utterli as a distribution tool. I’ve found it even works great for older content you want to give folks a fresh look at.

Drop by http://utterli.com/ today and give it a try.
