Jim,
A real pleasure and a delight to read your words and insights. Just fascinating stuff. Congrats!

I just got around to watching your two parts on the round-the-world trip. I agree with all the others who say it was terrific. Thanks.

Here's my question: In both episodes you use a shot that seems to be unique to internet video. It's the standup/walking, self-handheld shot. The camera held at arms length, pointed back at the speaker.

I've asked many people, and no-one seems to know (or have invented) a name for this shot. Any ideas?

Keep up the great work.

Part of the reason that there is such support is that you are so supportable. That coined word means that you go more than halfway to connect, to encouage, to interact. You are building bridges for all of us in twittering, but more importantly, in relating. Wonderful reflection. And glad to be part of your connections.

thank you all for furthering the conversation! Jack, I've actuaally heard the shot referred to as the "arms-length shot"

Jack Hodgson,

I've heard the shot you referred to in your post called "The Verdi" after videoblogger extraordinaire, Michael Verdi.

Jim, thanks for hosting our Crawford "tweet-up" -- I had a great time. The conversation about old-new-social media could have gone on for hours! You bring up some important concepts in this post, ones we will be revisiting in the days ahead. It's both exciting and frustrating sometimes to have a window seat on this how-is-media-shifting plane ride. My regards to you and the NBC crew, and kudos for your work in both old and new media.

Jim Hon.... pretty please with sugar on top... you have GOT to debate that jackass Andrew Keen who's preening about in limos (see his yawner of a blog for more on that) pimping his book about the Cult of Something He Made Up In The Shower And Turned Into A Book. He's wasting everyone's valuable time arguing with a bunch of boring armchair wanker lipflappers instead of bothering to take on the cool kids such as you who really are connecting with, well, EVERYONE in the most amazing new media kinda ways.

Thanks for the linky love too!

Connie, it was interesting that you got a first-hand look at some of the frustrations felt by my colleagues. From my perch I'm able to see both the challenges and opportunities that social/new media offer.

Grayson, I don't know who is more boring, Keen, or the self-referential sycophants who posted some astonishingly dull comments on his blog in order to get link love. Ironic while they all bash web 2.0 and social media, they're reading on posting on.. wait for it... A BLOG!

Jim you are putting in major work. You do it like a professional video blogger :). Great to see that NBC is rolling with you.

It took me a while to find the Comments function switch, but now that i twiddled that knob, let's say this is very fine.

The art of the blog post regarding SEO is the title.

It's good to think of what a person might use as keywords to find the information in your post. Odd titles, irrelevant or bizarre, may also work on occasion, and are good for variety.

You are positioned at the tip of the dharma chasm poised between twin gulfs. One the void of govmint, the other the voice of popular will, the Of The People that our politicians have strayed far away from, eating mincemeat and crackers.

I speak in code for the initiated. As we watch the nation transcend its past and forge an unforgettable figment of a future. We gaze at the resemblances. We share cheese.

The lemmings speed along faster now that the bloggers have a grip on the Clay Pigeon.
