<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I told the editors group a bit about MIT TechTV at the April
editors meeting. Below is a message Larry Gallagher and I have
been circulating to enlist submissions to MIT TechTV. Please
consider uploading your multimedia content!</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

<div>Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The School of Engineering Dean's Office has been working with
Academic Media Production Services/MIT Libraries to launch a new
web-based video service - MIT TechTV. We are writing to let you know
that MIT TechTV (beta) is now available. You can check it out at <a
href="http://techtv.mit.edu/">http://techtv.mit.edu/</a>.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>What is MIT TechTV?</b></div>
<div>MIT TechTV (beta) is a web site designed to support the
distribution of science, engineering, technology, and MIT-created
videos on the web. Our goal is to make it easier to find these videos,
and we also want to encourage the creation of web video by members of
the MIT community by making it easier to publish and host video
content. MIT TechTV isn't designed to replace any existing video sites
within MIT; it's just meant to make it easier to post, host, and find
that content.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><i>Anyone with an MIT e-mail address can sign up for an
account</i>,<i> upload video and have it hosted at no
charge.</i> Once you've uploaded a video, you will be able to
link to your videos from your own web pages, and you will also have a
range of choices for more broadly distributing your video
content.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>We Need Your Help</b></div>
<div>If you have video, please think about posting it on MIT TechTV.
It could be a short research video created by a lab, faculty member,
or grad student. It could be a video created for a class project. It
could be something offbeat and completely unexpected. Whatever it is,
we'd love to see it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Please pass the word along to others. This is a community-based
site, and its strength will depend on the entire community.
Thanks!</div>
