FWIW, I put some of my video on Veoh ages ago, and checked back recently when I started my comparison test page.
Seeing all the ruckus in here, I checked this evening and, sure enough, there were some videos of mine that I had not added myself, in an "unclaimed" feed. Still not clear to me which RSS feed they wanted me to put their widget in, since my only extant feed is at an address known only to FeedBurner. I dropped them a note asking them to remove the spurious feed (but not my original "series" that I created myself), and they did so within an hour. So, whatever mistakes they've made, they are on the ball in remedying upon request. On 4/8/06, David Howell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Coulds, shoulds, and woulds. > > The fact is that I didnt.
