Swedish YouTube clone Bubblare.se has announced that they will award the best video clip with Guldbubblan (the golden bubble, a parallel to Swedish movie award Guldbaggen, the golden beetle). From the Bubblare blog (my translation): Guldbaggen and other film and tv awards disregard online video, despite its big share in many peoples film consumption. That’s […]
Funny, I really liked the name “The Venice Project”. Oh well. Today they announced they’re Joost. And they’re opening up for a bunch of new beta applications. What Joost is is basically tv on demand with interactive features. You can browse through the different channels while a program is running in the background, you can […]
Digga, one of the Swedish Digg clones, recently redesigned their site. Just like Digg did recently, they are now also adding support for video clips, allowing users to import video from 15 different sites. Each video site supported has a custom tag at Digga, for instance a YouTube clip is included by writing <youtube>dMH0bHeiRNg</youtube> if […]
They are popping up with increasing frequenzy, the Swedish answers to YouTube. Not long after FejmTv, which quickly became a success, and Aftonbladet’s Klipptoppen, MTG-owned ZTV joins the trend with “Ladda upp tv” (upload tv). The difference between “Ladda upp tv” and for instance FejmTv will be the focus on young talent, says ZTV CEO […]
BusinessWeek.com has a long piece on “vlogging, citizen journalism, and other facets of the online video phenomenon”.

TV400, a niche channel for Swedish TV4, will launch a new tv show where high school kids can vote on people’s looks. Much like hot or not, but in a tv version. The show, named “Snyggast i klassen” (“Looker of the class”, kinda), let couples appear on the show in front of an audience. Either […]
Beta Alfa poses some important questions about video clip sites and the death video of Saddam Hussein. My translation. Is it okay to publish images of real executions? Is it okay that this clip now most likely is being spread between children’s cell phones? Is it okay because it’s Saddam Hussein? Would it have been […]
In a press release dated dec. 27, Oskar Kalmaru, CEO of Swedish video clip site Bubblare.se, lists the most viral videos for 2006.

Norway’s most famous vlogger Raymond Kristiansen has been vlogging for two years and looks back at his experiences. His first post covers about a month, his first month of vlogging and all the discoveries he made.

The LA Times has a piece on what they call YouTube journalism, and start off with the example of this video clip, filmed by a mountaneering expedition team in the Nangapa pass in the Himilayas on Sept. 30, 2006. The video clip shows some people on a foot path up a snowy mountain. Suddenly you […]
