A post by that stoic, strange vlogger Loren over 1938 Media alerted me to some new YouTube features, particularly one which allows Youtubers to record video directly in their browser a la Grouper. I tried the feature out with my new IM Pro camera below:

The lighting is too bright and I probably shouldn’t have used the theater motiff, but quality issues aside from this admittedly quick test post took a little over an hour from recording and pressing the done button before I could review it on the YouTube site. I wish they offered a review button before you said you were done. If they did, I sure missed that feature. An hour seems like too long to wait. Hopefully they’ll improve this recorded to display time.

I believe this is the first Google-inspired upgrade to YouTube, isn’t it?

And back to Loren Feldman for a second and why I think he’s pretty out there. Yesterday he’s ranting about women needing pubic hair and today he’s saying Sirius and XM are dead. Unpredictable and entertaining. Those are important qualities for a video bloggers trying to make names for themselves. I don’t agree with Loren’s views on things all the time but his delivery is interesting and he does it with short commercial-length posts which is key.

Did this post make you go hmm?
