We Have Become Content

by Scott Beale on April 8, 2008 · 6 comments

Michael Michael sums it up quite well in this video that I uploaded to Flickr’s new video service. The video was shot as last weekend’s Saint Stupid’s Day Parade 2008 using my Flip Video Ultra camera with the video converted to AVI and uploaded directly to Flickr. I think the combination of Flickr Video and Flip Video camera is going to be a really nice combo for me when it comes to short clips like this.

I really like the Flickr Video embed feature, especially how it allows you to choose what size you want to use. I also like how at the end of the video there is a direct link back to your video on Flickr.

That’s really funny and disturbing at the same time. It’s the whole reason I launched the BURNcast — the unofficial podcast about the art, culture and community of Burning Man. Make art, not content.

FOLLOW UP:

Content Is Becoming A Commodity” according to a post today in ReadWriteWeb.

Word up, Laughing Squid! The post says: “What this means for us as bloggers and new media creators is that the very technologies that we have grown to love are the same forces that are turning our efforts, be them our words, our videos, our music, our photos, or anything we create, into a commodity – something that has little monetary value on its own, but in aggregate, can become something of value.”
