You Only Came Here Because YouTube is Down (again)
You only came here because YouTube is down, again. Right?
Maybe they’re fixing the stupid comments functionality.

In a significant first, YouTube has decided to let advertisers inject their messages inside the video frame for select content on its site (see ClickZ or MediaPost). For an interesting piece that projects revenues for YouTube, see this post by Silicon Valley Insider. For an example of the ad, see this Smosh video and watch…
Guest blog post by Zack Scott. As your popularity on YouTube or other video sites climbs, you’ll notice that more people want to talk to you. This is something you will have to deal with, and how you deal with it can have a drastic effect on both you and your fans (or haters). For…
If you like this first “Where’s the Girl” video below (“Save Miranda” by Zoochosis), you also may like the second wonderfully cute but edgy dancing-sheep-girl video titled “Thanks Smokey.” Good luck getting that hypnotic sheep-dancing song out of your head the next time you see an adorable animal… after you watch the Smokey clip, I recommend closing your…
Need web hosting? I use BlueHost.com, and it’s less than $7 bucks and comes with easy WordPress install. It seems to work pretty well- I can even figure out how to do things sometimes all by myself. Go sign up to BlueHost using this link (or click the blue host ad in the sidebar) — I’ll get…
A video parody of what might happen as mobile advertising starts targeting you based on your location, and sending you instant offers to lure you into retail stores.
Just like OTT is the new viral, transmedia storytelling is the new online video. “Transmedia storytelling” is not new vernacular, but we predict it will be the buzzword of 2011… pushing the term “currating” into the archives. I became familiar with the term at a 2010 television/web events in NYC, where large media companies defended…

Well, it’s not down right now, but it’s just no fun waking up and seeing that nalts responded to one of your comments and then you just can’t find it anywhere!!! So I came to your blog for solace and all I found was this lame entry.
I’m kidding. You know I kid.
It’s a good thing that there’s no thumbs up/thumbs down on this thing because I’d probably get rated out of existence for this comment. Can you tell I’m bitter about the new comment system? Damn. I should learn to hide my emotions better.
You were wrong actually
P.s. hi Nalts
It’s all dead sir!… I need to talk to you, we need to get this thing done. The site is near complete 🙂
It would appear that all they’ve done, besides generate a lot of internal server errors, is manage to break the comments section even more. Right now it seems to be hit or miss whether the comment servlet will show anything or not.
Okay, youtube IS down now, and yes, that’s the only reason I came back here.
It’s up. It’s down. Oh the humanity, ladies and gentlemen. The humanity. Will the meglomonolithic corporation survive its own ego? Stay tuned for another exciting episode of “As The TubeSpace Turns.”
What’s YouTube? I come here for the strudel. It’s great!
I only came here to find out why YouTube was down. Haven’t actually tried the YouTube site its self yet, I just saw your post in my RSS feed and came straight here.
Everyone knows that there is no point in trying to contact YouTube about anything to do with their site. Nalts probably broke it anyway by over doing the community interaction thing. Maybe their Nalts levels were down and they’ve gone into withdrawal? 😉
I love nalts.
I dislike YouTube.
But I do like Nalts.
I dont worry about comments, i have them all turned off, I dont even allow subscribers,didnt get any more views anyway,and still on pace for 1.3 million+. BTW,im just here for the spam,my spam that is,check out my UFO video! LOL@ marquis as usual!
Today’s word of the day… meglomonolithic. Hey- checkout willvideoforfood.com/index.
Nice 404 message. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nicer one.
How about http://www.willvideoforfood.com/index.html
I know i’m a little late with this comment, but to reply to TET, i have found, that there is a knack to speaking to YT. On a few occasions I have contacted them regarding this and that, and 90% of the time they respond personally, and not just with the automated response.
It’s called the ‘Kiss Kick Kiss’ system.
Start the emal with a positive comment, friendly and to gain a bit of rapport like ‘I know you get people moaning at you all day, it must be hell…..I’ll try my HARDEST not to whinge’
Then insert complaint, but in a constructive manner.
Then I finish off saying that I hope they have a lovely day, and don’t take the haters to heart, or something like that.
Manners cost not one single penny, BUT they can do absolute wonders.
To be honest, this works with absolutely anyone, and also a good management technique when dealing with problems with workers you have to discipline.
Christ Gregor, SHUT UP!
I’d rather whinge at them. I come from a long line of whingers and we have perfected the technique. 7 out of 10 hopelessly powerless bureaucrats (sic) quit their jobs and move to Vancouver after one of our clan has whinged.
MATT: Nice start! I like the soothing colors. But my blog has cooler and more robust Revver widgets on it. Six or seven of them. Bragetty brag brag. No, no, no, not my ugly joke website that this comment is linked to….my blog.
Marquis, all of the credit goes to the brilliant tripplehelix, I just fixed Nalts url.
gregor – who at youtube do you actually communicate with – do you just send them to editor@youtube.com or is there a particular person you deal with?
There are PEOPLE at Youtube!!!???
Sukatra, I just go through the sites help center at bottom of the page and just select any of the links in blue, then keep selecting until it says at the bottom CONTACT US in blue, then there are 3 choices, report an account issue, report a general problem or I want to suggest a feature. chose the relevant one, then i’ll select what ever it is that is closest to the problem, but then detail it in the message space, never emailed editor@youtube directly.
