Podcasting for Performance Workshop June 9!
We're responding to numerous requests to help people learn more about how to find, create and distribute Podcasts so have just scheduled our first 1/2 day workshop to do just that! It's going to be held June 9, 2006 at 7 City Learning in Central London. Further information and other upcoming recommended events can be found here.

Catch the Cliptomaniac Game Launch
The British Council in Romania have launched their game designed to draw visitors to their site to learn about their services and follow through with visits to their centre which the game is modelled on. It has great graphics and a fun feel to it and shows what can be done for a small budget. It was a great project to advise on as the project leader became more enthusiastic when challenged to make it more fun. Have a look here.

Seriously Mobile Archive Update & Video Blogging
The Seriously Mobile Video Archive from 22 March has been updated to include all presentations and videos, a discussion area for the Experts Panel and the video of Forterra Systems Massively Multiplayer Online Environment.
You can also email specific presentations to your colleagues, and send the video clips to your mobile phone! Thanks to Datmedia for compiling and hosting the archive!
There has been so much interest in audio and video podcasting/blogging I thought I would experiment with a few more free tools in advance of the workshop we're planning.
One of the things you will need to make your audio and video "casts" available to others is a hosting service. There are a few free ones available. I've had bad luck with the speed of Ourmedia and have now tried Castpost - 100 meg of free hosting won't get you far but is great for experimentation.
Here's an example of a video clip you have to wait to download, then play. It's a clip from Forterra and highlights a few of the military uses of their platform in addition to the corporate, medical, emergency response and security examples we showed at our Seriously Mobile event.
Note the difference between streaming video (instant playback requiring a streaming media server and properly encoded video), and this method which is slower but works for those that want to take the video with them for viewing offline and on mobile devices.
Powered by Castpost
Using a service like Castpost is helpful because most blogs don't enable you to upload large media files. Castpost will automatically create a blog posting for you or give you the code to put it in your own posts as I've done here.
