I guess we need to remember to not let a certain thread get on our
nerves. I think I also got some email from Veoh but I must have
deleted it without further ado. I receive a lot of mail I did not ask
for, and deleting them if I want to is not that hard.

On the other hand, this Veoh story is very interesting, just like it
was with the original press release. Maybe they just like the
attention? ;)

I hope this whole episode ends up teaching someone something about how
to pitch the videoblogging crew. We might be genetically different
from the people who love being sent emails without asking for it, but
I doubt that.

Videoblogging services will bloom, and That is awesome. I just hope we
can learn to "skille klinten fra hveten" - which is a Norwegian
_expression_ I have not the energy to translate right now. :)

Wishing you all a great weekend,
I know I need some rest.

I can't imagine giving your cell phone number to 
1200 members of this group, some or many of whom have a bone to pick with 
you.  Mr. Shapiro is brave indeed.  I wouldn't be surprised if doing

Good point about the press release. The key point is that we all demand 
mutual respect. This is a conversation as Markus points out. Cluetrain 
manifesto stuff through and through. Can't recommend that enough for 
the Veoh crew. Simply posting a press release in a group is not 
"conversation".

Most unfortunate Watson!

It's quite obvious to me (as I track all emails by using unique  
addresses for every different service) that these email addresses were  
harvested directly to the video blogging group. And harvested they  
were, there's no denying it, there's way to much correspondence between  
the two. For example I received email from them to  
groups-yahoo-com[at)mmeiser.com which I only use for yahoo groups.

It's a huge over-site but I hope we can all forgive the people at Veoh.  
I can't imagine what they were thinking but I'm sure they won't make  
the same mistake twice. Please keep in mind our whole idea of standards  
and etiquette are still evolving and aren't so familiar to people who  
don't participate in bboards or yahoo groups that often. What's most  
unfortunate is I was and still am more than willing to subscribe to or  
participate in a mailing list or yahoo group regarding their project.   
Their email has thrown a lot of would be fans back on their heals.

If I may make the suggestion... they should start all over, a clear  
slate and instead of emailing us all off group through our personal  
email.. use this group as a forum as MANY others have (from ANT to  
Vlogmaps), for approaching us all us all as a group in the open. A nice  
short introduction should work well, where we can ask questions in an  
open manner and then perhaps... a link to Veoh's own Yahoo group or  
mailing list for those of us who are interested. Personally I've loved  
to follow the conversation on projects I'm interested in. Almost every  
project I'm interested in from Flickr, to Del.icio.us to Ant and so on  
has a mailing list of some sort.

I have never contacted Veoh before, and I recieved an invitation to Veoh
last Sunday. It's unsolicited, it's spam and it's illegal (at least  
where
I live).

If this is not sanctioned by your organization I suggest that you take a
long, serious talk with Maddie Gaskill your Marketing "Specialist".

How did my e-mail address end up on your notify list then? I shouldn't
have to opt-out of your mailing adventures - you shouldn't even have  
added
me in the first place.

> If at any time you experience any inappropriate activity from Veoh or

I have CC'ed you directly as well. The complete e-mail from Maddie
Gasskill is included below. I actually replied to this email because I
wanted to see what Veoh is (mostly, because I don't believe in your
business model). I wasn't going to comment on the email in this thread,
but when you claimed that you've only been mailing people who have
contacted you beforehand I got mad. Lying is not acceptable.

 while that may be true, bulk e-mail is only legal if it does not  
violate the CAN-SPAM Act, which requires that the message include the  
following:

1. A link to a web site where you can unsubscribe.
2. An e-mail address you can write to in order to unsubscribe.
3. A postal mailing address you can write to in order to unsubscribe.

 only one of these items (#2) was included in the second mailing  
I received from Veoh, and none were included in the first (both of  
which I received multiple copies of).

 thus, both bulk mailings are illegal spam. for further perusal:

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_Spam_Act_of_2003

 that aside, I do appreciate the effort that you're going through  
to make this right.

cheers,

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Spam from Veoh?

2005-08-19 Thread Stephanie Bryant




Dmitry,

I searched my gmail outgoing folder, which I have never ever deleted
anything from. No message there to anyone at veoh.com, so clearly I've
never directly emailed to join that notification list.

Here is what I think happened (best scenario): someone subscribed to
this Yahoo! group with the notify@ as their email address and
harvested addresses from people who emailed to the listserve. Whether
that was done deliberately or as an accident, I don't know. You've
been very up-front about Veoh and I don't believe this is a deliberate
part of your business model. But if notify@ has an auto-adder to it,
it would certainly be one quick way to get a bunch of email addresses
without really thinking about it.

Also, it's more than one message. I received one that's still in my
inbox (the initial press release from Maddie) and then another one
this morning, not from this Y! group, which went directly into my spam
box and which I deleted permanently about an hour ago.

Glad you're attending to these issues.

have to opt-out of your mailing adventures - you shouldn't even have added  
me in the first place.

I have CC'ed you directly as well. The complete e-mail from Maddie  
Gasskill is included below. I actually replied to this email because I  
wanted to see what Veoh is (mostly, because I don't believe in your  
business model). I wasn't going to comment on the email in this thread,  
but when you claimed that you've only been mailing people who have  
contacted you beforehand I got mad. Lying is not acceptable.

Subject: What is Veoh?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 20:12:38 -0400

We are a combination broadcaster and distributer of high quality video via  
the Internet.  Veoh uses peer-to-peer file
sharing as an alternative to traditional video distribution.  As a result,  
Veoh can open opportunities that have never
before existed for all filmmakers and video producers.  With this  
technology, filmmakers can focus on the creative
process because Veoh has solved the distribution problem.  And, best of  
all, it's free for all publishers.
Our investors are high profile in the media space, so we have access to a  
lot of mainstream media, but our primary
focus is the long tail of video.  We want Independent films, how-to  
videos, documentaries, music videos, crazy stuff
(adult allowed), political commentary, or any other possibility out there.
The beta version of our software will be available on Monday, August 15th  
and makes it incredibly easy to upload your
video to the network.
We are giving the early adopters an invite code so that their work can be  
front and center in this new form of media.
Please contact me to receive yours!
