DISQUS

Self hosting it seems like a good idea. I can't myself, because Bluehost won't let me upload bigish files through php. I've run into these same issues with my video podcast/website, Nokia Daily News at http://nseriesus.com.

What I'm doing currently (subject to change) is to film on the N95, then render three files, one at 640x480, one at 320 x 240, and one as 3gp. Then I upload the Big one to Vimeo which gets embedded in my blog posting. Then I upload the medium sized file to Blip.tv, which provides an iTunes and Nokia Podcasting compatible rss podcast feed.

I'm intending to steal your idea for linking to the 3gp file for users accessing my blog with their mobile device. I need to figure out how to get the files onto my web host.

I've been wondering if the "heavy-lifting" of converting the files and creating the different RSS feeds couldn't be automated with server scripting. If I figure it out, I'll let ya know how.

Keep up the good work, you guys. I'm watching your show to steal all the good ideas! If you want to see a boring, non-competing vlog, check out the Nokia Daily News at http://nseriesus.com . It's always sunny in California.

Might I recommend using the domain mapping feature in Feedburner (MyBrand) so that your URLs are http://feed.mobileindustryreview.com/MIRblahbla...

That way, should Feedburner go under, piss you off, or whatever, you can easily change to another service without losing all your followers.
