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 On Apr 1, 2006, at 3:03 PM, Joshua Kinberg wrote: > 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? > > :-) > > -Josh > > http://FireAnt.tv > > > On 4/1/06, Andy Carvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> 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.
