Izzy Video tutorials make it easy to learn video.

It looks like I’m going to have a fun weekend exploring all of its new features!

Sometime this morning, we hit two million downloads!

When I think about that number, I’m amazed by what the internet and RSS do for media distribution. We have viewers all over the world, and we never could have done this using traditional distribution methods.

Thank you for all the support! And here’s to the next two million downloads!

If you’re on Facebook, please take a moment to add me as a friend.

I’ve been connecting with many other New Media folks inside Facebook. If you’re like me, and you have a large number of New Media personalities you like to follow, Facebook is an excellent way to do it.

What can you do with Facebook?

1. Add friends, and follow their updates.
2. Post and browse photos.
3. Send messages to other users.
4. Poke someone (This is one of my favorite features).
5. Find old friends from the past.
6. Join groups based on your interests.
7. Get to know people better than you do now.

Now that they’ve opened their platform to third-party developers, there will surely be more you can do.

Although Facebook is a social network, it’s very different from MySpace. There are some similarities, of course, but it has a completely different feel. I think it’s a zillion times better.

I received this interesting comment from Tracey:

I just wanted to post a video that I shot with the GL2 using incorrect white balancing in the camera. I balanced it to an orange card, then used a cheapie 100W light. THe only thing I did in post was add a widescreen matte, a bit more black, and framerate conversion. It is amazing what you can do with the white balance.

Glimpster Stats as of May 6, 2007,

We’re getting close to the 2 million download mark!

Izzy Video and Paperclipping are the only active Glimpster video podcasts right now, so it’s taking a little longer to get to 2 million downloads than I thought it would. But that’s okay. 1.9 million impressions is still pretty good.
