Mergers and Acquisitions

I’ve been doing little mobile videoblog posts on 12seconds.tv every day for a month or so, and I thought I would merge the feed from here with the one from my 12seconds channel.

So from now on if you’re subscribed to this feed by email or RSS, you’ll be seeing little 12 second videos popping up every day.

I shoot them and post them from my phone, and always try to do something interesting with them. They’re the kind of thing I was doing when I started Twittervlog – posting little moments of life direct from my phone to the web. So they belong here, really.

… and thanks to Dave Goodchild (@buddhamagnet) for merging the feeds for me

Random Acts Of Advertising

I was at the Coach and Horses pub in Soho last night for Scuttle (after-work social media meetup). Tom Hall from Nokia Womworld, who sent me to Helsinki & Bucharest a couple of months ago, told me was going to turn up with some friends to make a ‘personal delivery’.

Please excuse the advertising. It’s just that I don’t get serenaded in a crowded pub very often.

vlomo09 day 10

in case you haven’t seen, or if you only get these videos via email or RSS, the last few days’ videos have been posted on 12seconds.tv rather than as individual posts on Twittervlog.

you can see them in the little player at the top right of the Twittervlog site, or by clicking here to see them on my channel at 12seconds.tv

no doubt more vlomo videos will be posted on 12seconds this month – it’s a manageable way to meet the challenge of posting every day, although I don’t just post any old clips there. Even a 12 second moment can tell some kind of story – and I try to get two or three different elements in each one.

and it’s all real – vlomo09 day 6

The slowest series ever. In November 2007, I posted Part 1, arriving in San Francisco; in November 2008, I posted Videoblogging The Conversation; this year it’s Vertigo. And they were all shot in November 2006. Holy shitsticks, I’ve aged more in the last three years than this movie location has in the last 50!

I used this music on Vlomo Day 3 last year, too – but tongue in cheek, at the start of The Placenta Video.
I know it’s schmaltzy, but sometimes you find a piece of music which fits a video so perfectly that you just can’t not use it, even though your cheese alarm is waking people up three streets away.
