Use your webcam to make video micro-content
On the last day of SXSW2007, Texas I was hanging out with the guys from Viddler and we decided to do an SXSW video wrap up. A lot of new laptops seem to have webcams built in, including all new MacBooks. Viddler offers a great feature - you can use your webcam to record video directly to the web. This more or less means that your laptop can become a portable video camera. Once you hit stop, there is no delay in seeing your video on the site. It's just there and you can start sharing it with your friends. I think there are some fantastic implications for this:- recording meeting notes
- time delayed video conferencing
- sending someone a quick video message
- collaborative projects (with schools?) via the web...
