ourmedia.org

One of the strange things that sometimes happens when browsing the web, is you read about a web site somewhere, and then you read about it again in a totally different place (not necessarily the news).

I've decided to put it out there again, and tell you about ourmedia.org. Because I am also new to the site, let me quote something from there, to describe it:

"Create. Share. Get noticed. That's what Ourmedia is about.

Ourmedia is a global community and learning center where you can gain visibility for your works of personal media. We'll host your media forever — for free.

Video blogs, photo albums, home movies, podcasting, digital art, documentary journalism, home-brew political ads, music videos, audio interviews, digital storytelling, children's tales, Flash animations, student films, mash-ups — all kinds of digital works have begun to flourish as the Internet rises up alongside big media as a place where we’ll gather to inform, entertain and astound each other."

This web site hopes to become a non-profit, similar to Wikipedia and other non-profit information sites, where we all add to the information. Although this web site looks really interesting, I did have a problem with Safari (Mac browser) crashing when I viewed a Flash file. It might have just been my configuration, but it always turns me off when my browser crashes...

Anyway, if you are creative, and you want a place to post your creativity for free, this looks like the place! And, it's fun to browse through what other people have posted...
