Internet video is exploding in popularity with the rise of sites like YouTube and Hulu. How can we take advantage of the Internet to get our work more widely watched, talked about and distributed? How can we find shows online that speak to us when so many Internet videos are frivolous or rehashes of broadcast TV?

This workshop aims to help participants navigate the waters of Internet video. We will discuss the options you have when releasing video on the Internet, how to best promote your work and how to best connect to your viewers. We will introduce Miro, a free software project that we work on, and show how you can use it to find shows you care about, distribute your work to a wider audience and make it easy for users to watch your video.
