I've finally decided to go to the online video workshop. The workshop is talking about the creation of content, the presentation of content and monetization. The video content needs to be viewer centric and tailored to your audience. You also need to engage your audience with blog comments, etc. You need to distribute your video on a regular, predictable schedule and decide your distribution (iTunes, YouTube, blip.tv, Vimeo, Ustream.tv). For networking, you need to be part of the community through face-to-face meetups as well as social networking like MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other online tools. As a matter of fact, I'm getting more people following me on Twitter from the mesh conference than ever before!

Mesh08 - Day 1 - 15 minutes of fame
Right now is the 15 minutes of Fame where start up companies talk about their product in 15 minutes. Today, there are three companies which is being moderated by Mark Evans.
The first company is aideRSS which is a service which provides an extra metalayer to target to users to read what matters to them, since there is a pool of information that is hard to digest. The web is now an RSS pool. This seems very relevant in Web 2.0, so I may check this out.
The second company is GigPark by Noah Godfrey and Pema Hegan, which is using friends to make recommendations to others for services. I'm a member of GigPark and seems really cool, something simple, but useful.
The third company is carbonetworks by Daniel Crawford. They create a software platform for helping companies create carbon emissions strategy.

Mesh 08 - Day 1 - Michael Geist keynote
I'm right now in the keynote with Michael Geist who is University of Ottawa law professor. He is talking about technology law and copyright with digital media. There is lots of mashups of video that take different streams and making their own video. We talk about Facebook advocacy, YouTube advocacy, and Google advocacy (example using Ushahidi.com which uses Google Maps and identify places where violence has occurred).
There are examples where people have used Twitter where protesters in Germany updated other protesters, Facebook was used to bring to attention an issue by the public from which a law was made in the Senate in Canada. Offline protests have been organized from Facebook meetings. There is also a protest about net neutrality which has been publicized on a website online where people are gathering on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and Canada to not regulate the internet. According to Michael, there are people from the blogging community that are speaking against (cyberdissidents) issues and are jailed, and they use mainstream media to bring to the attention of those people that are jailed (like Reporters Without Borders). Michael gave an example of a video mashup which uses short clips from Disney movies to illustrate copyright law.
Michael has also launched a site called iOptOut to exempt yourself from a do-not-call registry. There is now the instance of Government 2.0. For example, in Britain, people can upload videos of what to ask the prime minister and invite the public into a kind of virtual townhall meeting.
