Testing my New Amazon S3 Service

Karen Copeland — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:25:37 +0000

Just figured out how to set up an Amazon S3 Account, upload video and then put the player on my site. To test it, here is a 22 minute video I did as a follow-up to a 1-day Facilitation Skills Workshop. The player I'm using allows you to put a clickable link below the video, but as it's a test, there's nothing there yet! It should just take you to the main page on my site here.

In one of the most popular talks ever, Ira Glass (host of "This American Life" on radio and TV) describes the elements of a good story.

I'm preparing to teach a class on innovation next week in Toronto and found Business Week's 2008 50 Most Innovative Companies Report. Later I found Animoto.com, a new (very cool) site that takes creating a slide show to a whole new level! Put the two together and, well the result is below.
