Just found out about wetoku.com, via @charlestlee.
Its a simple video chat service (similar to TokBox), but geared specifically towards bloggers wanting to do video interviews and RECORD THEM!
I signed up for an invite today and got a response almost instantly.
I tried it out here at the office to see how easy and practical it might be to use – and it turns out its both of those.

Well, I’m not sure our first episode of “Buy our house” should be considered a “success.”
We had 18 views on YouTube and 22 views on Vimeo (plus however many viewed it on Facebook).
Either way, we bring you episode 2 (with some odd audio sync problems)! We show off the new dining room table look as well as our painted garage and now emptier master closet. And I don’t want to leave out the great job Laurie did cleaning the oven!
Thought we’d try a little short “video podcast” to highlight some of the great things about our house. We’ll try and post one at least once a week until the house sells (so in reality, we hope this will be our only one).
I shot this on my Blackberry Curve 8900 last night and pieced it together a little later. Its just a quick easy video podcast that will hopefully draw some more attention to our house.
But to begin with, we would love your advice on how to better stage our dining room. Watch the short video and then share your thoughts in the comment section below or via e-mail: house (at) casadeblundell (dot) com.
Let us know what you think – both about the question we raise in the video – and about the video podcast idea.
Saw this video over on Jonathan Brink’s site…
Social media continues to have a HUGE impact on the world around us — but I’m not sure it’s having the same impact on the Church. It seems that most people are still reluctant to share their online lives with their church body. There may be some folks within our faith communities with whom we’ll share things with — but overall I haven’t seen folks sharing their lives with everyone within the community.
In other words, folks may be willing to share their thoughts, pictures etc with me (which is great) but they don’t seem willing to do the same with pages that are more public and available to the community as a whole.
I wonder if our community is simply asking the wrong questions, not educating our peeps, or if people are just scared to share their lives and experiences with their church community in general.
When folks are open and sharing — I’ve seen relationships improve and grow tremendously. But when we remain behind walls (online or offline) its hard to imagine any relationship growing as it should.
No matter what, I don’t think any community should be solely dependent upon online sharing. The online must go offline as well. But I think the online world can truly expand and improve the offline.
But what are you seeing? Are you seeing your faith community really growing online? Are your peeps taking part in Twitter, Facebook pages, Flickr etc.?
Share some insight.
Simply put – people should not be bought and sold.
Coming in September:
Watched much of this during a special online screening of this on Tuesday. Can’t wait till its released and you can see it too. It’s a powerful wake up call.
