Youtube. Malburns. Why Gawker is moving beyond the blog. The 2011 template represents the most significant change in the Gawker model since the launch of Gizmodo and Gawker in 2002. One could go further: it represents an evolution of the very blog form that has transformed online media over the last eight years. The internet, television and magazines are merging; and the optimal strategy will assemble the best from each medium. You can already see 2011 layout on the beta versions of Gawker and other titles. The blog scroll, long the central element of the page, is shifted to the right column, still prominent but subordinate; that reverse-chronological listing of the latest stories goes from about two thirds of the active area of the front door down to one third; and only headlines are displayed.
Every inside page will hew to the same template as the front page. In place of the original content column: one visually appealing "splash" story, typically built around compelling video or other widescreen imagery and run in full. 1. 2. The solution? Josh Silverman: How Video Changes Everything – GigaOM. Whether it’s a clip of “Tajik Jimmy” putting Bollywood soundtracks to shame, catching a friend’s wedding eight time zones away or working “side by side” with coworkers in another country, it’s all video.

Video changes the whole nature of “being there” to something between audio and physical presence.

Ewan walks us through the process of putting together video, images and audio into a viable video presentation - all on the Nokia N95 smartphone. One of the great features on the Nokia N95 that marks it out as “more than a phone” is the ability to edit your media on the device to create a pretty good video presentation – while it might not be up to the standards of the BBC, it is more than good enough for the vast majority of users to put together short clips, montages, and ‘video diaries’ without having to resort to (potentially) expensive and complicated PC or Mac based solutions.
