Gestern am 26. Oktober erhielten einige die unten angefügte Mail. In dieser Mail wird google video angekündigt mit einer schon in Vielzahl online gestellten historischen Interviews. Ja google video ist in Beta, aber das Gesamtpotential erstreckt sich erst bei genauerem hinsehen, denn in Google Video kann man auch:
->eigene Videos online stellen
->und sich diese bezahlen lassen !
Zum einfachen Handling gibt es upload Clients für Windows / Linux und MAC die sich äußerst einfach bedienen lassen. Bei einem Probeversuch des Uploads einiger Videos von about-linux ergab sich folgendes Bild:
Schneller Upload und einfaches Handling. Danach geht es zum kommentieren der Videos, viele Einzelheiten zur Katalogisierung wurden erfragt, sowie das schon eben angesprochene Bezahlverfahren. Hier gibt man einfach die gewünschte Summe ein, die ein user Bezahlen muss und bestätigt das Gesamtformular. Die Videos werden danach von Hand verifiziert.
Wenn diese dann freigeschalten sind gibts Teil 2 der Story.
Hier die Mail:
