Even I, a person who didn’t have a VCR until DVD players were available, have entered the computer age. I can embed things; I can make short movies; I can attach files to…stuff. What’s more, I can figure out how to do these things by myself. Everything in our lives has gone multimedia and that seems to make everything more interesting and exciting.
The glaring exception to this in my life is email. You can make the window it comes in as pretty as you want and but my messages are still just black and white. QlipMedia may be the thing that changes that for me. I’ll be able to create wonderful picture filled messages to send to my family who are constantly feeling down because of the dearth of pictures I send them. And I’ll be sure to narrate the slideshow for them in minute detail.
It’s not like this is that’s the only thing it’s good for, though. If you have a difficult to navigate website (of course you don’t think so, but maybe your viewers do), you can create a tutorial to help them out. If you want to create a really cool invitation to the party of the week you have the ability to do so. If you just want to use it as a creative outlet, QlipMedia is a good resource.
Did I mention that it’s free? That’s always the best part, isn’t it?
Here’s a press release to tell you more:
QlipMedia (http://www.qlipmedia.com) has just launched the public beta version of ElectionQlips (http://www.electionqlips.com), a new destination to discuss all that is Election 2008. Readers can share their comments with the community and leave comments on Presidential Election themed video posts using their recorded voice, free-hand drawing, and images to let everyone know what they think and how they feel about every point in the posted debates, ads, punditry and stump speeches.
As the nation’s attention increasingly focuses on the outcomes of the ongoing primary elections and the general election to follow this November, viewers of ElectionQlips can stayed tuned to all the exciting action, including voice and video comments of their fellow citizens. And anyone can bring their wit and wisdom to bear on the debate of the moment, commenting to their heart’s content with their own voice and images.
The blogosphere has always been about giving a voice to common ‘netizens’, while democratizing the dissemination of the news and opinion. But heretofore that voice has been confined to the two dimensional world of the written word. The broad appeal of video has added a third dimension, a layer of contextual relevancy just not possible with the written word alone. Blog commenting has been similarly constrained by the same technical barriers. ElectionQlips brings multimedia blogging full circle, giving blog commenters the ability to post live, multimedia comments right on the videos they’re viewing in their own voice, using their own doodles and images.
• 100+ million blogs in existence
• 1.5 million blog posts per day
• 1 blog with multimedia commenting capability
ElectionQlips users can take their election debate with them by sharing the link and embedding the player anywhere. On the video timeline, it’s easy to bring out all the facts with every detail of the debate through point-by-point analysis. The density of comments at every point let’s one see what’s hot and what’s not in every debate.
The goal of ElectionQlips is to make it possible for everyone to participate in any debate, discussion and controversy using their own voice. Commenting on blog posts is a common enough, ElectionQlips gives an edge over other contemporary election blogs, especially with respect to sharing your comments and opinions.
