YouTube Mobile Uploading doesn't work in Canada, *sigh*. Well at least it doesn't work with Fido (in my experiments anyway. I'd love to be proven wrong) since Fido MMS can only handle 300K and most videos are at least 1MB.

Supporting MMS is ridiculous, YouTube! Nobody uses MMS in North America (well at least no adults, youths and crazy Web 2.0 people that I know). Please support video upload using email like the fantastic blip.tv does!

FROM TechCrunch » YouTube Mobile Uploading:

QUOTE

YouTube announced a new feature today that allows uploading of videos from a mobile device that supports Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). Users need to create a moblie profile before uploading videos. Sign up here.

I use my camera phone to upload pictures directly to Flickr all the time (yesterday’s banana-yellow ridiculous rental car, for example). If my phone had the ability to create video, I’d be using this for YouTube all the time, too.

The Rocketboom folks sent me an nice email. The folks looking for actors in my previous Rocketboom post (which I have updated to state the truth!) are NOT associated with Rocketboom.

UPDATE: The rocketboom folks sent me an email. The folks looking for actors below are NOT associated with rocketboom. The more the merrier we say. Please make your ad more clear next time!

Go Rocketboom go! I nominate Debbie (check out my cheesy video with Debbie which shows her potential. I am sure it would be trivial to kick it up a notch and produce a killer demo reel) and Sarah (check out her awesome work at Geek Entertainment television) to co-anchor.

The host, Amanada Congdon, has used the high visibility of her daily broadcast to over 100,000 people per day, to launch her acting career. She has since appeared on television shows such as CSI.

Our site will feature a daily 2 minute segment featuring the best of cultural and social events and activities in Vancouver.

The purpose of this site is to provide one place for Vancouverites and visitors to gain a window into the world of many of the great things happening in Vancouver through video.

If you are interested in experiencing the exposure and on-camera opportunities provided, please:

1. submit by E-mail a 30 second video clip of yourself presenting on a hypothetical or real event or activity in Vancouver. Simply use a digital camera in video mode to record your audition.

2. e-mail the 30 second clip to: vblog_auditions@hotmail.com

Please ensure:

1. the subject (your head) occupies the majority of the frame,

2. that the image is sufficiently lit (that you can be seen clearly), and

3. that the sound is clearly audible.

You may be have the greatest personality and present well, but if we can't
see or hear you well, your audition video cannot be considered.

Deadline for entries: April 8, 2006.
