For now there's a link to play the video in the Uncut Video site, but we'll have the playback embedded in the entry in the near future. Think Video Blogging, Vlogging, Vidblogging, or whatever you call it.

Uncut Video
I uploaded a video of Fae to the latest beta release from AOL, UnCut Video.
This is really cool stuff and only going to get cooler for the J-Land
Community. The Uncut Video team has enabled the "blog this"
functionality on every video page, giving you all a chance to blog
about videos.

About Ads
As part of the r6 rollout Banner
ads will be added to all INTL versions of AOL
Journals. These are the Journals hosted
on:
journals.aol.ca - Canada
journals.aol.co.uk - UK
blogs.aol.fr - France
tagebuch.aol.de - Germany
diarios.aol.com - Mexico
The ads will be the same style (728x90 banner ads) currently seen in the US version. The disclaimer below the ads will be localized for each country, i.e.
"L'emplacement publicitaire n'est pas contrôlé par l'auteur du blog."
"Werbung in Blogs stammt nicht von Blog-Autoren"
The other major addition to the International version of AOL Journals is that AIM account holders will now be able to create a journal in their respective country domain (as listed above). We'll also add a new locale for the AOL Latino brand, Ads will be there too.
So...Why? Why would we do this again and not learn from the folks that left in Nov. '05. Well the answer is simple, the businesses are different. The folks up north and in Europe run their own business and make these calls. We've shared all of our lessons learned and have given them plenty of advice to help them make their decisions.
Your feedback is needed!
Please put your feedback in the comments section and a link to your journal.
*************UPDATE June 12th 2006******************
No ADS on UK, FR, and DE. Canada, Mexico, and Latino will have ads until further notice.

OpenAIM in gaming software
Doppelganger
and Open AIM :
One of our resident AIM team blogger was at E3 last week. He came across a virtual lounge product, developed by an SF Startup called Doppelganger, that integrated AIM for the end users to talk to one another. Pretty cool.
He also was there to announce a partnership with Super Computer International that brings AIM to PlayLinc, a gaming platform mostly for Verizon.
