The Flip
In the consumer-products world, progress can be gauged in measurable increments of improved quality. Contemporary consumers demand such improvements all the time and refuse to compromise on the good-enough when the better is available. So marketplace success depends on quality breakthroughs: tastier coffee, faster computers, smoother-riding cars. This is always true — except when it isn’t, as in the case of the Flip Video, a small, plastic, almost toylike camcorder. “It was not a quality play,” concedes Simon Fleming-Wood, the vice president of marketing for Pure Digital Technologies, which makes the Flip. “It was a convenience play.” Convenience, of course, can be one of the most awesome forces in American culture. And Pure Digital, previously a nonentity in the camcorder market, has sold about one million Flips in the past year.
Traditionally, camcorder makers have battled on the basis of quality: sharpest image, highest megapixel count, most features and so on. Often these devices seem to be benchmarked against the highest possible standards — the best-producing images that would pass muster in a movie theater. The Flip looked to a different benchmark. Pure Digital started out, in 2002, making a digital version of the single-use “disposable” camera, sold through drugstores. The company’s research suggested that there might be a market for a similar product that took video images, and it created a one-time-use camcorder. But a number of consumers who liked the camcorder didn’t like the one-use limitation (and at least some of them figured out ways to skirt that limitation).
So when the first version of the Flip emerged in May 2007, its roots were in the point-and-shoot-camera world. That meant the company was far more conversant in how to make do with cheap components and keep prices down than in dreaming up the newest innovation that motivates the bleeding-edge camcorder freak. (A Flip model that holds 30 minutes of video costs about $100; a 60-minute version is around $150; when it fills up, you can dump the video onto a computer hard drive.) Fleming-Wood says the quality had to be “good enough,” especially in indoor, low-light situations. That gauge is, to some extent, subjective. Probably he hits on a key point when he says the quality is better than what most expect. The plastic Flip has few controls and feels more like a transistor radio than a luxury gadget like, say, the iPod. To handle one is to think: How good could this be?
For many people, good enough is precisely the answer; after all, many more videos are being made for swift upload to the inches-wide screen of YouTube than the yards-wide screen of a theater near you. Not surprisingly, the Flip was “seeded” (marketing-speak for “given”) to thousands of bloggers, according to Fleming-Wood, with more of an emphasis on blogs for shoppers and moms, and even for nonprofits and educators, than for techie-gadget sorts.
A high-enough degree of convenience is exactly what makes a “good enough” product consumable. Digital-compression formats like the MP3 and most of its successors have entailed a step down in audio quality — but for most listeners, they’re “good enough” when you consider that they’re obtainable instantly (and, often, free). As Fleming-Wood points out, the camera business went through its own version of this epiphany decades ago, with the rise of one-button devices that couldn’t possibly match the quality of single-lens-reflex cameras but were far more accessible. Hobbyists (and dads) still toted their bag of lenses, but meanwhile the no-brainer cameras found a home in millions of purses and pockets, and snapshots are a lot more common than carefully lighted family portraits. Pure Digital, then, has positioned the Flip as a tool for the video version of the snapshot.
Consider Jen Maxwell-Muir, the owner of a public-relations firm in Portland, Ore. (She doesn’t do any work for Pure Digital.) Her husband was always in charge of buying and using the camcorders that documented their children’s lives. “I’m one of these people who feels like if I’m photographing everything, I’m not participating,” she says. Then, at a daughter’s ballet class, a fellow parent brandished a Flip — and Maxwell-Muir soon bought one. Soon the unobtrusive and simple object had her taping as often as her husband. “He’s kind of a tech geek, but he hadn’t heard about it,” she adds. And now? He uses the Flip as much as she does.

I hear TrafficGeyser is a great product, and the creators one (Frank, Michael & Rocket) are good people.
TrafficGeyser does more than broadcast video to 35 video-sharing sites from what I understand. Its a comprehensive service that offers slidecasting, bonus royalty-free music packs, toll-free numbers to record podcasts or testimonials, video-to-audio conversion, broadcasting to podcast directories and social bookmarking sites. For anyone who wants these features from one service for a 97/m subscription, then TrafficGeyser is for them.
TubeMogul broadcasts and tracks metrics of your videos across a dozen video sharing sites from one screen (which is super convenient). It does what it does very well, plus its free.
For those who do not mind using multiple services to accomplish what TrafficGeyser does (in one paid membership), and would prefer free services or pay-to-own-once products/services, then they can accomplish similar or better results using:
1. TubeMogul.com (free) - broadcasts & tracks metrics to 12 video-sharing sites
2. Slideshare.net (free) - creates slidecasts by mashing up your images/slides with your voice or music audio
3. MusicBakery.com (15/song or 60+/album) - pay-per-piece royalty-free music or buy albums; there are also many other royalty-free music sites on the net.
4. Google for 'free toll free numbers' to find a service that can provide you with this, and have it forwarded to your destination of choice for recording whatever you want.
Or if you don't care for the toll-free, then use:
- GrandCentral.com (free, owned by Google),
- Vonage.com (paid subscription VOIP service) or
- AudioAcrobat.com (19.95/m) - podcast, video & teleseminar recording or
- Hipcast.com (small monthly subscription) - podcast, video & teleseminar recording
or the many other services available.
5. Blip.tv (free or 8/m) - for video-sharing and hosting, but it also offers cross-posting to other popular sites and services. Plus it encodes your video to MP4, FLV and MP3 too.
6. OnlyWire.com (free), Pingoat.com (free) & RSS Submit software (100+ one-time purchase to own) - these free ping services and paid software helps you to update blog and search engine directories of your new content on your blog or at video sharing sites. Plus RSS Submit will ping podcast directories with the Podcast Plugin.
If you or anyone else would like to share with us their experiences using both, I'd welcome it here. Cheers!
As always, I welcome your thoughts, feedback and comments…
