Cider videos December 17, 2006
Posted by Andy Roberts in : video, cider, Wiki , trackbackIn my role as technology steward as well as convenor for the ukcider community, I need to keep an eye on mainstream developments on the web. Now 2006 was the year that webstreaming video really came of age, especially since the format wars were finally settled with Flash coming out the winner, and YouTube the social video platform of preference. So people are starting to post links to videos in the mailing list which others can then watch and share the experience. But just as with Flickr for still photos, only a minority in the community are actually going to sign up for an account, learn how to upload, tag, favourite, playlist and join groups etc. Others will just consume.
So I’ve added a plugin to the ukcider mediawiki to enable it to display videos from YouTube and GoogleVideo directly onto the page, which means that in future it will be possible to add relevent media to the narrative text within the pages of the dynamic work of reference and generally wonderful thing that is the cider wiki
For now, here’s a page with a few choice cider videos:
