Air Force begins 'BlueTube' site for online videos BY STAFF SGT. J.G. BUZANOWSKI Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs From the Command Chief... 'The intention of this comer is to share important information relating to standards, discipline, and the development of American Airmen. I hope you find this useful." Here is a uniform tip for you —"When participating in organized PI any combination of the PT Gear (shorts, tshirt, pants and jacket) will be worn as a set and not mixed with civilian clothes. (AFI36-2903, Figure 2.6, Note 21)" w 'ASHINGTON — When you get an interesting or funny Air Force video in your e-mail, do you ever send it out to family, friends and co-work- ers? Now the Air Force has its own channel, called AirForceBlueTlibe, for those videos on the popular video-sharing site You1bbe.com. "We wanted to have a one-stop shop to host those interesting or compelling clips people were making and sharing about the Air Force," said Paul Bove, the site administrator for AirForceBluelube. "The site is a great way to share them with relatives, friends and co-workers. It also provides a new way to tell the Air Force story to the public." Because videos are often large they can eat up a lot of valuable bandwidth, especially when they get forwarded to others, Bove said. "But on AirForceBlueTube, we can post informative, humorous or exciting videos without affecting Department of Defense bandwidth. With AirForceBlueTube, all people have to do is e-mail the link," Bove said. Because You1bbe.com content is extracurricular in nature and typically not work-related, people will have to send the link to another e-mail address to view the videos on a computer that is not part of a DoD network, Bove said. If there is demand for a particularly compelling Air Force-related video, it can be converted to a viewable format and posted to the public affairs community of practice, or CoP, for viewing by all. So how do people get their videos posted? "If anyone has a video they'd like to share with other people, all they have to do is send it to our office. If it's com- "l/l/e wanted to have a one-stop shop to host those interesting or compelling dips people were making and sharing about the Air Force. The site is a great way to share them with relatives, friends and co-workers. It also provides a new way to tell the Air Force story to the public." PAUL BOVE, AirForceBlueTube site administrator pelling, informative or funny without being unprofessional, we'll post it," Bove said. "Right now we have everything from recent events like Hurricane Gustav and the America Supports You Freedom Walk, to videos from Air Force link and even some weapon systems video." Videos are subject to approval before they're posted based on the guidelines of the host site and Air Force New Media. AirForceBlueiube can handle videos up to 100 MB and about 10 minutes a piece. Videos fewer than 10 MB can be e-mailed directly to the site manager at AFBlueIbbe@pentagon.af.milr or afbluetube@gmail.com. If a file is too large, anyone can mail a disc with the video to: Air Force Public Affairs Agency ATTN: AFBlueTube Manager 901 N.
