Description: In the wake of the FTC's ruling on the need for bloggers to disclose when they've received something of value from an advertiser, here's a 4-minute video interview with Jory Des Jardins, co-founder of BlogHer, about the blog organization's strict rules about disclosure before its members are allowed to accept anything of value (in this case, $500 gift cards from JCPenney) before writing a review.

Description: Here's an 8-minute video interview with Ginger Thomson, who recently stepped down as CEO to become an advisor to YouthNoise, a social network for social good developed for and by young people worldwide. With traditional volunteer organizations constrained these days, Thomson said, the tendency of young people to take a DIY approach to volunteerism may prove especially fruitful, with youths diving in and raising money for the causes they believe in -- and using the tools on YouthNoise to achieve those goals.

Description: Mark Surman, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation, talks about how video is really separate from the rest of the Web in that it's a much more closed system. 'So we need to look at how to make video a first-class citizen on the web.' Speaking after his presentation at the Open Video conference, Surman said he hopes a concerted push toward open standards will 'hopefully shift the market away from a black box video plug-in, where the video is separate from the rest of the page, to something where video can interact with Javascript' or other elements on a Web page. 'That may not sounds interesting to those who just watch videos, but it'll be interesting first to video producers who can do all kinds of innovative things that we can't even imagine now.'
