An email containing your verification link has been sent to your email address.
Please check your email and click on the verification link. You may need to check your bulk/junk/spam folder if you do not receive your verification email within a few minutes.
By the thrid attempt an hour ago I gave up... no mail in any folders. Perhaps they should hire someone who knows how to construct an emailer using proper RFC protocols and headers instead some lazy code-monkey duct-tape two-bit hacker.
Sorry folks.. can't say I didn't try.

| | The Future of LiveVideo - Are You Migrating? Where To & Why? | | | | Thursday, October 23, 2008 (10:14 PM) | | It's recently been brought to my attention LV is having some internal issues - specifically financial. This may or may not be 100% correct and still requires confirmation through alternate sources.
Neverthless, should it be accurate, where would you consider migrating to? Ironically, only two days ago, I was doing some research on behalf of a marketing client and came across the following Top 100 Video Sharing Sites list...

| | HAPPY ANTI-TAX DAY!! | | | Tuesday, April 15, 2008 (3:44 AM)
(I'm feeling awake) | |
Anti-Tax Day Protest - April 15th
For over half a century, the American people have been enslaved to the private Federal Reserve Bank; forced to give up increasing portions of their earnings for the "common good" and seeing the value of what they have left dwindle through government corruption and mismanagement.
The IRS is the vehicle by which the 'Fed' collects our hard-earned property. While the legality of our government's tax system may be debatable, most Americans agree that it is immoral in practice and amounts to 'tolerated', if not legalized, thievery.
Let's take this opportunity to share our concerns with our fellow Americans on this most reviled annual day. Please join us in showing our opposition to the Income Tax, the IRS, and the Federal Reserve. We'll have signs and literature, some DVDs and magazines to distribute to those who wish to be informed.
MY DONATION TO THE CAUSE?
Yes... I know... more education... how boring!
WATCH IT, OR ELSE... DON'T COME RUNNING!

| | Defining the LV social caste... through my lenses. | | | | Saturday, April 5, 2008 (3:00 PM) | | OK... so after over a year, I still find myself befuddled by the different social classes as defined by the LV system and people's derived expectations.
For instance, you have friends, subscribers, crews, and now groups. Cool... it's good to be able to relate to and interact with people on different levels. What I'm curious about is, what the commmunity at large feels defines these different account 'classifications'.
What is an LV friend?
Through my lenses, an LV friend is more of what I would refer to as an associate, or casual acquaintance, in real life. No offense... but if the last time we've talked was when we swapped friend invites, well... need I say more?
What is an LV subscriber?
Becoming a subscriber is somewhat of an indicator as to where your head is at - no pun intended. Although if your intent is to simply have me subscribe in return for numbers, count me out. If your content warrants it, I certainly will. However, as much as I'd like to, I couldn't possibly reciprocate with everyone's channels.
What is an LV crew member?
To me, a crew member is someone who not only melds the above two, but decides that further collaboration is imminent - either by allowing vids to be posted or cross-posted, working on video projects jointly, etc. Some have seemingly taken offense to this - I thought it was a given - silly me.
What is an LV group?
Still trying to figure that out - get back to you with my findings as soon as they're found.
Am I way off base on these previously undisclosed, unvoiced expectations? | | | | 903 Views | 6 Thumbs Up | 4 Comments | |

| | What does it take, LV? [ aka Happy Anniversary, Crew, Subscribers & Friends! ] | | | Sunday, March 2, 2008 (1:33 PM)
(I'm feeling irritated) | | OK.
First, a belated Happy Anniversary to my Crew, Subscribers & Friends!
Thank you all for your support over the last year - you know who you are!
Next...
Been on this site now for just over a year... along with several other members of my crew.
Despite several of them experiencing the same thing, I'll keep this blog personal.
So, throughout an entire year I have yet to experience one featured vid (or vid of the hour), or featured channel (that I was aware of)... not one. OK, no problem, I can live with that... whatever... content may be a little sensitive to some viewers. Sure.
Then, we start this group - iOpeners.
Despite our group ranking highest in members for almost two weeks straight, not to mention discussing some very perintent topics involving today's times (OK, I'll admit some personal bias in that statement), haven't been featured once... check the list of featured groups. Not there. Not once.
OK.
No problem.
I guess we'll have to live with that - sorry guys & gals.
...whatever...
Again, perhaps the content is deemed to be too sensitive.
Then I'm beginning to witness some pseudo-parallel groups carrying similar content cropping up - excellent - more food for thought. Next few days I see them being featured... my head kind of echoes w/the proverbial "WTF, LV?"
So, in closing, WTF, LV?
Have I pissed in someone's cornflakes over there?
Here's hoping you'll RSVP, LV! | | | | 849 Views | 3 Thumbs Up | 5 Comments | |
