Ever heard of bitly.tv? Ya, me neither

In: web resources

21 Dec 2009

There’s a new power house in town and their name is bit.ly. Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past year (which equates to 4 years in Twitter years) this is probably the most well known url shortening service to come on the scene. And before you uber nerds start spitting out statistics and pie charts letting me know that they aren’t the biggest or the baddest, I’m just saying that they are the bestest.

They’ve been linking up with so many other companies integrating their shorteningness into all they can sink their url’s into. Logically, they aggregate the most amazing links and videos in all the land of Twitter.

I present to you bitly.tv – a source for all the new videos that are the newest/latest, or at least the one’s that people are watching. Sure YouTube has been doing this for ages, but this brings in another group of people viewing these. It’s got it’s own Twitter filtering system built in. Not everyone is using Twitter out there to view YouTube videos and those that are, will probably stick to them like snot on a hot stove (that’s a Canadian saying me thinks, so hopefully some of you get that one).

So what’s the big deal you’re asking?! Well, I’ll tell you. When you click on one of these videos the following screen pops up and allows to you to see the viral nature of the video. Also has integrated BackType to show the existing tweets on this particular video and a very nice and easy way to share them with Twitter people or those that are url-lery racist to long url’s.

Sounds more like you need a basic computer course first!

This may help out a little bit, hopefully. There's a big "News" section at DirectJump :

Just scroll down to "News". There are links to worldwide newspaper sites if that helps…

Being a youtube comedian IS fun… lots of fun.

1. First you need a camera. It depends how much you want to spend, but for starters, go with a cheapish camera. Second hand ones can be good, but risky… make sure don't ever spend under $150 for a video camera. Get a good brand, too. I use a Canon, and it's great to use.

2. Then, you'll need a tripod. Again, you can spend really high or really low, it depends on how good quality you want it. I use a $15 one, and it's lasted me for ages.

3. Make sure you have FireWire on your computer. It's an attachment that allows USB cables to go from the computer to the video camera (It has a 1394 at the top). Most new computers have it, but if not, you can get one put in at a computer store for around $50 – $60. The USB cable will cost from $20 – $30, depending on the brand. If you don't have this attachment, you won't get the info from the camera to the computer.

4. Film your video. It can be about ANYTHING… make it fun for the viewer and a topic lots of people can relate to and enjoy.

5. Get good editing software, or just use Windows Movie Maker. Your editing needs to be smooth and attractive to watch.

6. Have fun!

What kind of electric field, magnetic field, or electromagnetic wave are you talking about? How and why were they measured? If you are talking about electromagnetic interference (also called radio frequency interference, or RFI), there are plenty of tools, starting with the old fashioned transmitter hunt. Carry a receiver tuned to the interfering frequency, with a directional antenna. Use it to hunt down the sources. Is it entering the house via the power lines, phone lines, TV antenna or cable lines? Directly from a nearby antenna? Cable TV and masthead TV amplifiers are a common interference source. Your cheapest and friendliest help is likely to come from local ham radio operators, see arrl.org.
