REBarcamp Expo Anaheim - 2010: YouTube and Beyond

I had the pleasure of hosting a couple of breakouts yesterday at the REBarcamp Expo in Anaheim.  On MelAclaro.com I'll be posting a series this week from yesterday's presentation on YouTube and beyond.  In this first part, I talk a bit about the implications of YouTube being the "second largest search engine in the world."  

As I mentioned in the post, I didn't "get it" initially.  But, after thinking about it more, the implications were pretty keen.  Click here to get this part of the series.  Towards the bottom of the post, I also include a link to the presentation slides.  

Question for you:  Are you using YouTube today in your online marketing campaigns?

How to use a digital voice recorder as a 'walkaround' microphone.

I posted a video tutorial recently on MelAclaro.com about using a digital voice recorder as a proxy for a wireless microphone.  It's a practical (read that: inexpensive) technique when recording those videos where you want the flexibility to walk around but don't want to (shouldn't) rely on your camera's built-in microphone to capture your talking head.  

I mean, if you've ever tried to record yourself in a room when you're more than about 3 feet away from your camera, then you know the problem with degraded / crappy sound.  As I mentioned in the post about the Poor Man's Microphone, you can actually survive suffering degraded video quality, but if the audio's too out of wack, you're sunk.

Check out the video above.  Then if you want more notes about putting it to work for yourself, head over to this post about the Poor Man's Microphone.
