Many people asked along last few days about my plans related to further BTV development, new features, bugs fixing, etc, etc… So, I decided to summarize all my thoughts about how to develop BTV and what we should do with it now. If you have some suggestions or ideas not mentioned below, do not hesitate to post them here in comments or send them to me by e-mail or IMs.

So, here are my thoughts (not ordered):

• New design (light, pastel colors, logo, SE-optimized layout)
• Video embedding option
  • Ask authors about embedding to prevent copyright complaints.
  • Two options: Embedding remote videos or recoding and playing from BTV.
• Many authors for site
  • Pre/Post moderation
  • Aggregation of content from RSS feeds and/or from ripping modules
  • Hosting of screencasts video
    • What resolution?
    • What format?
    • For free or only for premium users?
    • Embedded ads?
• RSS
  • Feeds for each category (already there)
  • Feeds for each tag and set of tags (like php+mysql)

Thats it. If you have any suggestions, please leave comments here or drop me a line. Thanks all my readers for attention.

Thanks to our readers, Best Tech Videos service has been mentioned in “The new 100 most useful sites” by Guardian.

We’ve reached 200 cool tech videos line in our directory!
Next few weeks I’m going do add here 100-300 more videos about python and ruby development. So, stay tuned and you’ll get lots of useful information!

So, after some questions from service users about how to add some video to BTV, I’ve added video suggestion form to this site. Now, if you have some interesting video links and want to add them here, please, use this form to inform me about them.

Really huge collection of videos from Princeton University Lecture can be found here. All lectures are available in two bitrates (56k and 350k) and for two streaming platforms (Real Media and Windows Media).

We’ve got semi-automatic Google TechTalks ripping system. So, stay tuned - next few days I’ll post lots of awesome videos from this great resource.

I gave short interview about BestTechVideos to Internet.ru - big Russian portal dedicated to miscellaneous Internet topics.

I came across interesting search request in my search logs today. This request was ’smalltalk’. Honestly speaking, I thought, that Smalltalk is something old as mammoths and it is not being used today.

So, I was wrong. Smalltalk is alive and it is actively used by people in the World. So, for my visitor, which tried to search smalltalk screencasts here I want to promote really content-rich (but with some navigation issues) site “Smalltalk Daily” with almost daily posts about live in smalltalk. There are more than 60 screencasts at this moment, so I would not like to post all of them here so that is why I promoting entire site (really uncommon practice on BestTechVideos), but if you like smalltalk, you can subscribe for Smalltalk Daily rss feed and watch it.

Wow! We’ve got first visitor from Google! And his/her search phrase was “cakephp screencast“. Thanks to Google for such fast indexing - just 2 days since project started till first visitor came here .

Welcome to BestTechVideos site! I’ve created this site because there are lots really interesting videos on the Net, but if you’d like to fine some good tech video, it is not so simple to find them because of tons of crappy “funny videos” like “funny cats” and so on.

So, If you like to attend technical conferences and watch conference sessions on video, if you like idea of screencasts, etc, then this site is for you! Stay tuned and you’ll be impressed by amount of hi-quality videos on the Net.
