Flippin' Cool?!?!?

ok.. so I went to this SEMPO meeting last night with a bunch of search engine marketers and it was pretty cool. There was a guy from Google and some other really interesting speakers talking about social media. At the end of the meeting, they had a drawing for a "Flip Video" recorder and one of the "experts" said this is a MUST HAVE for anyone that enjoys blogging / social video. Naturally, I searched Active Rain tonight to see what some of you think. Not a ton of info here but a couple of good articles and from what I found, it sounded pretty cool.

Basically, you have this small, hand held video camera that takes up to 60 minutes of video and connects to your computer via a usb port for "idiot proof" videos. Uploading to YouTube and emailing videos is supposedly a snap. How fun is that?!? It looks like the most expensive model is less than a couple hundred bucks.. Sounds like I'm gonna have a new toy to play with very soon..

I also found this YouTube video of Glenn Beck talking about the cameras and found his endorsement interesting..

Hey that looks intereting, might be something I might want to look into this spring, thank you!

Jon and I just got ours. Expect some video blogging from the two of us in the near future. They are on Amazon on sale for $149.00 for the top of the line one. Great deal and they work really well and are super easy!

Sounds interesting. We should expect to see more of video blogging in the future.

Nick- OK, I am convinced.....and on Bob's Post someone else mentioned this camera. Thanks Bob for the hint on where to get it :) Shoot now I will really have to learn how to do video stuff :)

Thanks Nick for the heads up on an innovative product.

and now a word from our sponsor...

I would be remiss if I didn't remind readers that more video clips suggest the need for video editing software. We talk in the E-Pro and Photoshop groups of Adobe Premiere Elements - the video companion product to Photoshop Elements. Still special pricing available on the Photoshop/Premiere Elements bundles which include both Elements programs.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Bob.. The fact that they are a "Great deal and they work really well and are super easy" is a great combination! :-) Thanks for the Amazon info.. I am looking forward to some more video blogging from you guys in the future. The new video feature on the home page is cool. Thanks for continuing to improve AR!

Deborah, Looks fun huh.. I think a lot of us will be looking in to this one! :-) Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Gita, Yep, I think there will be a ton more videos in the future! Check out Bob Stewart's recent post as well.

Kathy, lol.. yep, we might have a slight learning curve but it looks fun and should help our blogs! :-) Good luck!

Ted.. Thanks for the commercial announcement.. I bet some of that software can help make some really cool videos!

Nick - Ah yes the Flip camera. I though that I had seen a post about this sweet new camera a few months ago. I looked all over for it and here it is.

Maybe not as cool as the Flip camera, but I think that you can now buy a HD video camera under $150.

Hi Ryan.. Thanks for the link. It was one of the ones I found in the "searched Active Rain" link from my original post. Sam did a good job with that one.

WOW!

Small, portable, and inexpensive. This is something I will need to check out.

Thanks for your post.

Happy Selling!
