Is that the state of punk rock today. I am genuinely hurt that one of my favorite anti-establishment icons has decided to suck satans cock.

Just thought of another depressing example. Remember http://just.curio.us? A really lovely online experiment from Jonathan Harris, where strangers answered strangers’ questions. You had to answer a question in order to be able to ask one, but that was all that was required. And at first it was delightful – whimsical, funny, even deep sometimes. Now, a couple of years later, it’s a horrorshow. Trolls being homophobic and nasty to each other.

The Raymond Delauney Emails are similar but funnier.

Wow, I’m honoured that you comment. Do Steadicam know about this? Ever since seeing your video visions of chicken-based camera mounts have been flitting across my brain.

Thanks for the email..

We do use quite a lot of video ourselves, we video a quarterly message from the General Manager in the UK and a number of other senior leaders. It has become more prevalent over the last year or so. We have a couple of Flip cams we use ourselves for events etc and encourage others to use the same or something equally simple.

Podcasting is the preferred method of may users though because long trips to work and having iPods. )

Our general strategy across the corp is to encourage user-generated content in many forms. Last couple of years we ran competitions for people to see what they would come up with. Here is a winner from 2007 http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e-SasfZJKn4 there are quite a few others on YouTube.

On the whole we try to encourage everyone to do stuff themselves. We have many thousands of examples in our media library. Where possible we will promote good examples or use it ourselves. When we say good we don’t mean production values (we say good enough is all you need) but innovative uses, engaging content.. that sort of thing.
