It takes years and a lot of education to create professional quality programs. Now here are some tips to setup a mini production centre in your own home or office to get you started.
One way is to use HP MediaSmart Server to store various Videos, Still Photos, Music. This can all be streamed to your PC's, Mac, iPhone as well as being stored in your own personal server. Its like having all your media in cloudspace but physically stored at your own location and with your own privacy settings. Software products such as Adobe Premiere Pro and Soundbooth can be used to edit video and overlay sound.

#CanadaGoGreen
Design Media Creations has come with a new hashtag for twitter, Any articles, youtube video, ustream. Blogs, Facebook comments, should be prefixed with #CanadaGoGreen. This prefix can be used to group all commentary made in the Social Media and Networking social graph to promote renewable energy, sustainability and the Green initiative of Herman Scheer within Canada.
The more we see similar initiatives and hashtags trending on Twitter or any other Social Media platform over the following years, the more we can measure interest and may start seeing real progress and significant results in renewable energy, sustainability married with sound economic stimulant.

Time for Canada to use Social Media and take the lead in Green renewable energy
We all know for sure that there is finite energy oil, gas and coal. Now as we start to run low and demand keeps on growing and prices start to climb Canada is yearning for a change and a new approach.
We have always known more has to be done to create renewable energy but a major shift in Green thinking hasn't taken hold to the momentum and scale of Hermann Scheer green revolution in Germany. Slowly the trend is turning though, we now are learning to recycle much better, aware of making sure we care for local environment so that it is safeguarded for future generations, municipalities strives for more public transport money to invest in a greener infrastructure and reduce car commuters, there is a cost for each grocery bag.
Now is the special ingredient Social Media and Networking that is needed in Canada to tip and cause the Green revolution in terms of renewable energy to the scale of Germany and beyond, we know if we study Germany's endevours, many new jobs were created and the economy was stimulated. Social Media and Networking is great for collobrating, discussing, areas that need immediate attention, and making significant changes for the good especially when all of this technolgy is embedded in a smartphone.
More articles, action plans, positive results, issues needed to be flowing through the whole social graph here in Canada using Facebook, Twitter, Google earth, Youtube, Ustream, Blogs. Lets hope we can fasttrack renewable energy initiatives and start the momentum soon and take Germany as a benchmark and miss going through the hard way.

Design Media Creations created using Cloudspace technology and Social Media
Cloudspace technology is increasingly becoming more available via tool such as Google apps, Facebook, Twitter, Twitpic, Ustream, Blogger, etc.
Design Media Creations Website is utilizing some of these tools as a way to make a presence on the Web, no programming was done to get the site up and running, used mashups concepts as much as possible, as well as twitterfeed, friendfeed.
All this technology maximises the integration of smartphones to make updates and monitor status. It is also by default WebTV ready as that technology mutures.
In certain cases cloudspace and mashup concepts can reduce or even eliminated the need of host providers and software development.

Social Media integration with TV
Currently when we watch tv its a passive experience, with the introduction of Hard disk PVR systems you can record shows by going through a TV schedule menu and you can set the PVR to record all shows you like automatically. Later you can watch shows at your own leisure.
Apple TV is trying to converge the Web and TV into a unique experience, you can watch youtube videos, listen to podcasts, radio stations and download TV shows and Films all whilst in your living room. Microsoft Media centre also allows a similar experience but via a PC or Xbox and purpose built Media centre devices. Another product is VuNow which again gives you WebTV experience for your living room.
Now if we add Social Media in to the mix and a TV revolution could be in the making, just imagine on the TV we can all communicate with our facebook friends, share each others photos, videos and live streaming from sites like ustream, twitter, as well as watch Hulu(only available in US) and watch regular TV programming with the ability to PVR. A product such as Boxee which is built ontop of Apple TV exists, is attempting to do this but no single product has come into the market place which unifies this whole experience and appeals to the masses.
With all this new technology coming into play all at the same time, there is tendency for information overload, and alot of configuring and setting up can deter many, what is needed to create a very simple User Interface, which has the power of all these new online tools without overwhelming the user. One example would be a WebTV Hardware Device based on Google Android as found on HTC Hero phone, and the remote control will be replaced, by an iPhone/Blackberry/Android Phone App which controls how you interect with the TV using Wifi.
Lets watch this space its early days.

Pushing the boundaries of innovation HTC Hero with Flash
In this ever changing smartphone industry it is key to stay ahead of the game.
Innovation is why Google Chrome browser, Safari, Opera and Firefox is taking away the marketshare of Internet Explorer, Innovation is why Facebook overtook Myspace as the lead Social Media platform, Innovation is why Twitter made Google and Facebook rethink strategies, Innovation is why Microsoft Bing is now being noticed and getting Googles heads turning, nobody can rest on thier laurels not even Blackberry or Apple with the iPhone, sure Blackberry has the big lead in email push undoubtly the best at present, sure iPhone is winning with its appstore and cool touchscreen UI integrated with iTunes.
Now HTC is coming up with a phone Hero based on Android with Adobe Flash with a real neat UI. The deal now is that Android using Adobe Flash will allow so many more apps to come in the market at a rapid pace, as there are so many Adobe Flash developers and content is king with the cool existing Flash apps in the market, Integrate that with Adobe AIR and you will give Apple iPhone and Blackberry stiff competition.
Apple iPhone needs Flash now and should take the lead, appstore will still be effective as they can use Flash content embedded, Apples concern is also battery life, but again innovation is key. Blackberry needs a phone based on the Android/Flash platform based on a neat UI similar to HTC Hero, with its winning email push technology and excellent build quality it will always be at the top of smartphones market, and easily enter the bigger notebook arena. Canada needs to lead innovation not follow.
