Comments on: The Daily Reel (TDR) Goes RIP? http://willvideoforfood.com/2007/12/11/the-daily-reel-tdr-goes-rip/ Online-Video & YouTube Tips for Video Creators, Marketers and Entrepeneurs Tue, 22 May 2012 05:35:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: TET http://willvideoforfood.com/2007/12/11/the-daily-reel-tdr-goes-rip/#comment-7551 TET Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:56:29 +0000 http://willvideoforfood.com/2007/12/11/the-daily-reel-tdr-goes-rip/#comment-7551 Can't say I'm surprised. I gave Daily Reel a really good try with getting some discussions happening but the site was confusing, buggy and socially isolating. As a community site it never was engaging enough to encourage people to incorporate it into their favorite haunts online. It also never really offered anything new as an entertainment weekly kind of site either. YouTube's homepage has more to offer and is better organized. Note to anyone starting an online community: Be prepared to participate heavily in your own community for at least the first six months. Can’t say I’m surprised.

And I would give you crap about the fact that "extatic" is actually spelled "ecstatic" but you'll just mess around with my comments again and make me look like an even bigger doofus than I already am. So I hope you're happy. You've broken my spirit. I loved your chapter 11 tv video – don’t think I’ve seen it before.
