I decided that with so much talk from Scoble about Blip.tv I would go ahead and give it a shot. I use Sharkle for my videos, I've tried Google Video, YouTube, eVideoShare and also Jumpcut. I just really can't find one that really does what I want. I came across Flixn.com as well but which is very cool but again not really what I am looking for - of course I really don't know what I am looking for as I just don't have the time I wish I did for my Podcasts let alone doing any Videoblogging.
So anyway back to trying out Blip.tv, I figure if it works for the Scoble then I shouldn't complain too much he's got a whole heck of a lot more experience in this realm than I do.
So I went to the site and entered my user, password and email address.
That login name presents a false identity in that it could lead people to believe you're a side administrator.
So that was a new one, guess I better try a different user name ? What's with that!
So now I am "craigster" not my first choice of course.
Now that I am in and looking through the config (I can connect it to my blogs, flickr, del.icio.us, etc) it's not bad but this is really for the public stuff and I have quite a few little video clips I don't really want to make public. Oh well maybe Videoblogging is just not for me?

Trying Blip.tv

My apologies for the error message when you tried to sign up. We screen incoming usernames to make sure that they don't conflict with names like "admin", "administrator", "www" or "ftp," but it seems we've been overzealous in doing it. We're releasing a fix today that should be much more conservative in terms of what names we reject. Again, my apologies for this.
In terms of public use, it's true that blip.tv is really meant for broadcasting video out to the public and not for private video sharing. If you just want to share clips with a small group of family and friends you may want to check out a video sharing site targetted specifically at that mode of sharing -- there are lots of great ones out there.
If, on the other hand, you're interested in starting a "show" or some other form of public broadcasting, I think you'll find that blip.tv is uniquely suited for the purpose. Please let me know if you'd like to do this and know that you'll have the full support of the entire blip.tv organization in doing so :)
Yours,
Mike Hudack
Co-founder & CEO, blip.tv
Craig, when you do figure it out, we would love to hear what you decide you are looking for.
Best Regards,

Co-CEO/CTO, Flixn, Inc.
