Once more facebook is down due to site maintenance and it’s making me think that it’s time to move onto another site for a number of days until they sort everything out. That’s where Tubemogul comes in, a video sharing website.
Whilst it has hardly anything to do with Facebook Tubemogul is nonetheless an interesting website because it encourages you to upload your videos to several online communities at once. I’ve been trying it out over the past twelve hours and so far I’m quite pleased with it.
As I went through my video archive I’ve found a lot of good videos. As a result of this, I’ve been reminded of many moments and memories. There are a few people I’ve seen frequently since the shooting of the footage whilst others have not been present for months or years in some cases. I love watching this footage and I can’t help but want to upload the videos to Facebook.
I have spent a few hours this morning and part of this afternoon digitising videos from a few years ago and it’s a time warp. I have one or two fashion shows on tape. I have at least ten theatre pieces. I have two or three field weeks and I have the 2000 graduation trip to Crete on tape. Those are moments that are not just static, in an album. They are alive.
