Presentations have also inspired a few posts, including <a href=\"http:\/\/network.nature.com\/people\/mfenner\/blog\/2008\/09\/26\/new-ways-to-look-at-your-presentation\">Martin Fenner&#8217;s<\/a> and another from <a href=\"http:\/\/network.nature.com\/people\/scurry\/blog\/2008\/10\/09\/the-geeks-may-inherit-the-earth\">Stephen Curry<\/a> .<br \/>\nIn this context, a recent post from Brian Kelly <a href=\"http:\/\/ukwebfocus.wordpress.com\/2008\/10\/10\/experiments-with-video-blogging\/\">Experiments With Video Blogging To Support Presentations<\/a> may be of interest.<br \/>\nFor those who are unfamiliar with Brian, I should explain that he is one of the UK&#8217;s national treasures. He is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ukoln.ac.uk\/web-focus\/\">UK Web Focus<\/a> , a national Web coordinator post part-funded by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jisc.ac.uk\">JISC<\/a> . He was responsible for installing one of the UK&#8217;s first web servers, all the way back in 1993 at Leeds University, and  he has been an opinion leader in all things web-related ever since.<br \/>\nIn this blog post he explains how he came to give a presentation by recorded video, but also asks whether videos should be left to the professionals.<br \/>\nI would argue that this is another case of <a href=\"http:\/\/network.nature.com\/people\/U81B5C465\/blog\/2008\/08\/07\/who-needs-information-skills\">disintermediation<\/a> &#8211; the AV experts and videographers will remain the experts but as the technology develops so it becomes possible for those with lower-level skills   to produce reasonable-looking work.  Hopefully the professional videographers will help the rest of us to develop our skills, and give us pointers to good practice.<br \/>\nFinally, Brian mentions video micro-blogging.  I suppose it had to happen.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nSeesmic has been described as \u201cthe \u201cTwitter of video\u201d &#8211; you record a brief video giving your thoughts on a topic and people can respond, also using video.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brian comments that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nthis type of use addresses &#8230;  the concern that the linear nature of audio and video tends to defy attempts at scanning the content\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>something that troubles me too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Curry&#8217;s FMD virus video post seems to have inspired a good deal of video activity on NN.
