Contests That Require Registration to Vote
Ahhh the video contest. Is it a way to engage creators, or for marketers to do “lead gen” (snatch the e-mail address of creators’ friends)? I understand why contests require registration for rating — we wouldn’t want a “Chicago” style election. At the same time, these “one-off” contest websites are maddening. For example, here’s a…
I Broke Twitter
“We regret to announce that Twitter is temporarily over capacity,” said David Scheyd, director of communications for Twitter. “Apparently Kevin Nalty (aka Nalts) began Twittering so frequently, our spam bots thought it was a virus and protected itself from a potential compromise.” Nalty, who tweeted about 48 times in the past several hours, said it…
DRM Lite- Proceed With Caution
Techcrunch announces that Warner Music Group will allow its music to be used in YouTube videos, but retain the right to yank it if it chooses. …the caveat that Warner will have effective veto power over videos using their music is particularly interesting.

A Deep, Inside Look at YouTube, Creators & Advertising
Last week I wrote a post where I interviewed Al, the algorithm behind YouTube. I received a lengthy comment from someone identifying him/herself as 1000Lurkers (e-mail was not real). It’s clearly written based on some fairly intense observation, and I believe some “inside” knowledge of YouTube’s relationship with Partners and advertisers. I’m not suggesting it’s all accurate,…

That looks fun, I guess. But admit it, you’d rather be running around honkey-town filming people with toilet paper hanging out they ass.

Hmmm, seems to be just the Youtube url that’s being blocked.

I’m so conflicted – do I jealously wish I was there or say shut up and stop your whining?

@2 ^works for me
It’s no wonder you have so much credit card debt.
That’s just my way of saying I’m jealous.
@8
Meh, I must be lying.
@10 nice leap 😉
@9 So glad I could get the debt reminder while we’re spending away. The resort/airfare wasn’t bad, but you gotta stay out the Bermudian grocery stores.
What the fuck is up with that Jim Edwards? You want we should roll his car while you’re on vacation? Just say the word, Nalts, and your back row will have his hide.
@13 I could never actually encourage that while on public record. But pre-used TP adds drama. Hypothetically speaking.
