Re: [videoblogging] Re: big announcement

2006-04-01 Thread Michael Meiser
LOL!  You mean videoblogging isn't a subset of pest control?

One day I want to see a commercial parody of the now famous cat  
hearders commercial...

Fireant, Vlogdir, Mefeedia, Blip, Ourmedia, place your company name  
here

We make wrangle yer' videos so you don't have to.

Yeeehaa!

Head em up! Move em out!

LOL

Also, I'm still sort of hoping at the end of the day I can write a  
blog post about all the companies Yahoo bought today. Nothing would  
please me more than to have gigantic list. Hint, Hint. ;)

BTW, You do realize this is a common theme. Last year there were a  
number of them. If my memory serves me correctly among others I think  
it was Weblogs Inc. or Engadget who started a rumor that they got  
bought out by yahoo for April fools.

I really enjoyed catching up on this thread.

We need more yahoos on the web. Not Yahoo!, but the type of crazy  
yahoo's that make meta and media wranglin' startups. Aggregators, to  
search engines, to hosting companies, to open source vlogging  
platforms and plugins.

Last time I guestimated there were no less that 30 or 40 video  
sharing services and yet there's still not enough of the right kind.  
I've completely lost track, but the important ones are the vlogorific  
ones, and there's only a small handful of those.

Cheers to vlog services and above all to the vloggers who make it all  
that make it all worth while.

-Mike

 Yep, those ads show up on my Flickr page too.

 Anybody wanna donate some money to us so we can outbid the
 exterminators for the keywords?

 I had a sneaky feeling you were screwing with us, particularly when I
 searched for mefeedia on Google News and Technorati and couldn't find
 any coverage of it. (btw, when I searched for it on Technorati, all
 the google ads on the page had to do with killing fire ants:

 Not exactly fireANT, are they? Got a nice laugh out of that.

 April's fool. Mefeedia hasn't been acquired by anyone.

 I laughed a lot though. Quite a few people sent me private
 congratulatory emails, and were really surprised when I told them  
 the
 truth.

 Back to the usual programming!

 I'm sure you all will have lots of questions (sellout?), and  
 I'll talk
 more about this in time, but I just wanted to get this out  
 there.  I
 am very excited, particularly because my new boss is Lucas Gonze  
 (from
 Webjay fame). So there we go! Lots of exciting future plans.

 Just let me assure everyone: in my discussions, I emphasized the
 importance of a good directory that is focused on  
 *videobloggers*, and
 Lucas is totally with that.

 We still haven't moved the entire infrastructure (the thumbs
 particularly) to Yahoo infrastructure, but we should be there by
 Wednesday.
