Wired, in its latest May 14th issue has included a fascinating article entitled: A Guide to the Online Video Explosion - Wired's must-have directory of the best clips on the Web.

The mini-guide includes multiple sections providing Wired own selection of the best video destinations to go and check out online. Of course you need a pretty recent computer, a speedy internet connection (ISDN not enough) and a good video display/card combination. Given the above and some free time to explore and play around you are certainly in for some truly interesting discoveries.

For one, in the opening page under the Documentary section, TheWeblogProject finds its space as a recommended destination to follow.

"...Sure, a lot of the material is junk: dorm pranks, nip slips, America's silliest home videos. But some of it is brilliant: House of Cosbys, Kevin Sites's hot zone at Yahoo! News, archives of cold war propaganda films. Some people look at the sheer amount of material and see a mess. But we see, amid the flood of content and competing delivery services, a new medium emerging, one with fewer gatekeepers, more producers, and - somewhere - something for everyone. And that's the point: The mess is the message.

That doesn't make it easy to sample.

So we've created a Me-Vee Guide - a way for you to understand, navigate, and participate in the online video explosion."

Inside the Wired mini-guide you can find multiple sections dedicated to the many video genres available online today.

On today's print issue of Corriere della Sera, Italy's oldest national newspaper, TheWeblogProject gets some coverage in an article devoted to films financed by Internet users.

In the article written by Francesco Margiocco, who had called me a few days earlier, is written:

"Robin Good, pseudonym for Luigi Canali De Rossi, is working at a documentary on blogs, Internet diaries. Like the Sherwood hero, Good is a benefactor. "I evangelize the new media culture" he says and explains that his movie will be ready for the end of the year, will be released on the Internet and it will be free for everyone: "I am against peddling for money online."
