A dozen sites
I'm diggin'

1. How Buffy the Vampire Slayer saved the world and the sanity of NPR's Jamie Tarabay while she was in Baghdad.

2. On MeeMix, an Internet radio site, you can enter an artist or a song and it will suggest other stuff you may like. When I enter George Harrison, it suggests Procol Harum. I am groovin' now!

3. Some have called Seesmic "YouTube meets Facebook." It's a social networking site with mega video capability. What if news sites allowed people to post comments via video rather than just text?

4. Blogger.com is better than ever now that you can post vertical photos. And Google Docs has upgraded its feature that enables you to embed a presentation in your blog.

5. As ABC's John Stossel explained, "Intrade is set up like a commodities market where buying and selling goes on 24 hours a day. Instead of betting on the price of copper or oil, you can bet on politics, economics, the weather, pop culture, etc."

6. Msnbc.com's NewsWare site includes games, widgets and tons of other stuff.

7. iCue is a new NBC News site that uses archived news and political video in educational ways.

8. See how much the airlines will ding you for an extra bag or overweight luggage.

9. Bargain Hunter, a LA Daily News blog, tells you how to save a buck in everyday life. It may be the new face of journalism.

10. I have been a big fan of Snapz Pro X as a screen and video capture device, but I may be falling in love with ScreenFlow.

11. My 300 or so favorite online resources and news ideas for journalists.

12. A Final Cut editing tutorial.

We are always looking for your great ideas. Send Al a few sentences and links.

How I Produce My Video Blog Posts

RECENT POSTS

New since the last newsletter:

2008 Farm Bill on Life Support

Getting Even with Your Ex on YouTube

Earthquake Coverage Resources

All last week I produced videos for this blog from the RTNDA/NAB convention in Las Vegas. Several of you wanted to know how I put the pieces together so quickly from the convention floor.

So today I take you behind the scenes and show you how to produce your own videos.

Note: If you're receiving this via e-mail newsletter and have trouble viewing the video, please use the video player on the Al's Morning Meeting blog.
