We’ve been working hard on different ways to promote Calliflower as an online meeting tool for the last few weeks. One of the latest techniques we’re using is online videos.
It turns out to be surprisingly easy. Create a script, grab some stock photos (check out www.istockphoto.com), royalty free music, and put the whole thing together. I used Audacity to record the sound track, and Adobe Premier Elements to render the video. Next, circulate your draft to a few friendly faces for feedback, edit and upload.
Let me know what you think.

Dave Winer and Robert Scoble are going gaga for BlogTalkRadio's new service this morning. Called Cinchm it lets you create a recording from a phone call that gets republished using your ANI as the URL. Dave called from (858) 342-9663, dictated a few words, and the MP3 file was live in an RSS feed a few moments later at http://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/8583429663.
I fail to see the point. Couldn't you make a recording from your desktop? Wouldn't that be simpler and produce a better quality audio file than phoning in on an 8Khz phone line?
Not only that, but hasn't anyone done any product management on this service? As we've built out the iotum FREE Conference Call service for podcasting, we've learned a ton about what people care about. Packaging an audio file in an RSS wrapper is small potatoes.
