Get out there and make media - that’s an order. It’s wild to see how the efforts of regular people like you and me are getting huge attention on the Internet and in the traditional media. The actual quality of the content and production is on an upswing, too, and this has made for a much more pleasurable reading/listening/viewing experience. Creating media is half the battle - hosting it and getting it out to the world is a completely different story. Ourmedia is a new service that’s likely going to change how we distribute content forever.

If you’ve ever dabbled in hosting, you know that disk space and bandwidth can be expensive, especially when you’re dealing with large audio and video files. To alleviate these issues, Ourmedia provides free hosting and bandwidth for all of your media. On top of that, the content is archived and hosted forever - no joke. Hey, they’ll even give you a blog. This service provides a large audience for your independent content, and the visitors can comment on your creations. With so many people checking out your work, concerns about unauthorized use could come into play. Thankfully, Ourmedia allows you to specify the terms of how the content can be used by incorporating a Creative Commons system.

Now that the second part of the media creation equation is handled for you, you have no excuse to not get out there and do your thing.
