[Editors] more about MIT TechTV

[Catherine Avril]

Hi everyone,

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!

Thanks,
-- Catherine


Dear Colleagues,

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 
<http://techtv.mit.edu/>http://techtv.mit.edu/.

What is MIT TechTV?
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.

Anyone with an MIT e-mail address can sign up for an account, upload 
video and have it hosted at no charge. 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.

We Need Your Help
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.

Please pass the word along to others. This is a community-based site, 
and its strength will depend on the entire community. Thanks!
