Vimeo please

Today was an ordinary day. Nothing too special. I had elementary schools today. In the morning, I taught the 5th and 6th grade in the morning, and then in the afternoon I made my way over toward a different school closer to my home and taught the 5th and 6th grade class there as well. Today was a pretty humid day. It's starting to get warmer here which is nice. But in Japan, with warmth and heat comes humidity. Plus, it was also forecast to rain today, which it did at around 4:00pm.

Well, since I created a video of my trip to Korea, I've been trying to look for mediums and ways to post videos and such without restrictions on both size and the audio content that I have in my video. I created a video compiling the photos and video footage I took while on my trip, but after uploading it to YouTube I ran into an issue. I used a couple songs that are from CDs which I bought, but YouTube scanned them and banned the audio on my video. What?!?! I was so mad. Because those songs are technically owned by the publishing company and it may infringe on copyright laws, they banned the whole audio on my video. So it was pretty much useless to have the silent video posted on there. Most of the fun is what is in the music/audio of the video to go along with the visual.

So I talked with a couple others who have experience in the social media/networking realm and they recommended Vimeo. It's a website for those who want to upload videos and photos and they don't ban or seem to screen as much as YouTube. So I subscribed and will check it out. Check back later for more posts and links to my videos! They're sweeet!!!!
