YouTube Increases Upload Size
YouTube has begun lifting the restriction on the file size of the videos you upload. It was previously 100mb, but it looks like they are upping that to 1GB. That’s great news, and will allow you to upload much higher quality video.
In addition to the new file size, you will also be able to add metadata to your video during upload. This includes title, tags and so on. You’ll also be able to, a la Flickr, upload multiple videos at once. That’s a nice addition if you’ve ever had a stack of videos to upload.
You need to opt-in to this new program, and more information about the limits can be found on the YouTube blog.

GaryVee Keynote
I’m a big Gary Vaynerchuk fan, and he continues to put out compelling and thought provoking content. Here’s his keynote from the recent Web 2.0, and it’s no exception. Even though it’s geared at businesses, there are some definite take-aways for higher education, especially the bits about putting your content in as many mediums as you can, something I preach often.
Beware some salty language if you’re at work.
p.s. did you notice his zenned out slides? That’s right. No slides. It’s all about the content.

College Search 101
At my institution, we’ve launched a new video series that contain tips and tricks to remember during the college search process. We’ve just launched 9 of these short videos on YouTube and an accompanying web site. Here’s an example of one of the videos:
The videos aren’t specific to institution and feature our VP for enrollment and marketing.
From the technical side, we shot them using our Sony HD camera outside our main administration building on our rustic bridge. The videos were edited in iMovie. I blogged last month about how great iMovie is. For now, we’re just putting these in YouTube though we will eventually upload them to Vimeo in HD.
