Best Online Video Outlets of 08

I can not say that Youtube is the best, just the greatest used. When they get the whole “hd” version and time span thing worked out. In due time, we all know google has a big plan somewhere up their sleave. lol.

Ok on to my favorites:

3.VEOH Nothing major ground breaking but a great gathering of videos on other people’s sites.

2.Joost The first of the best High quality, Could be best but had a face lift  mid year that changed everything and started them back at point zero, to follow hulu. I would like to locate their media player again.

1. HULU very high quallity high resolution videos.  Bad thing is, fox focused, and all the really good shows, are on fox’s website not Hulu’s. I still after 5 tries can not get the fox media player to work at all. I tried  Xp,Xp64,Vista,Xandros Linux.  but other than that, what shows they do host, are very high quality with tiny short advertisements

GTAIV PC MultiPlayer Screen Shots

Thanks to Charming Charlie at GTAFORUMS.COM

Well as the hype mule (I would say train but it really doesn’t feel like a train) starts I came across this from 1up. They have apparently had a bit of a quickie on GTA 4 mp for the PC :-

Nothing earth shatteringly new, obviously mentioned that it has 32 players instead of 16. They also seem to be of the opinion that the mouse and keyboard improves MP (well what a shock eh boys and girls). All in all an interesting read if you are board and want some more information. There is also eight new screenshots there, well I haven’t seen them :-

Scary Truth About Myspace Mobsters

I really love the game, it’s great time killer. Sad part is, there is a dark side to it. The underlying reality.

The only way to get people added to your mobster list, is to invite them to be your friend on myspace. Why is this bad? Well, My generation has done everything we could to protect our kids when they chat on myspace. The scary part is, everyone is trying to get as big of a mob as they can. The kids are inviting anybody and everybody to join their mob. Again their naivety is taking front stage. The qualified sense of security because of the simple thought ” well they just want more mobsters, they can’t be stalkers” convinces them to just invite like crazy.

See you go to someone’s profile on myspace mobsters and type in their message box your link to your myspace profile and say “add me”. Well they add you and now your mob is bigger by one person. I myself have spammed for an entire three hours. The thing is I have been been a little more different about it. I say “.com/truxter add me if you are an adult” . Typically they respond with a laugh ” I’m 50 does that quallify?”. Which is cool to me. I always check their profiles for age and appearance of being the age they claim. There have been about 5 or so that looked like they changed their age just to get more mobsters. One changed their age and fooled me. Then they changed their age back the very next day to be a minor. I quickly deleted them and started writing this.

Myspace needs to change the format in wich people can have friends in Myspace AND Mobsters. This could get some children pretty well hurt and it needs to be addressed.

Now the rest of the truth. The game is very boring and everything is set on a time base. Ex: it takes like 3 minutes to get stamina 3 minutes to get energy and so on. With a refresh button. This of course keeps you being fed an ample supply of advertisements. Paying myspace and the game creators. Really if you are going to think so hard on how to make money on an addictive mindlessness, you have to think of the safety of the users.

Truth About Revver Video

Revver.com Claims to pay out money per view and per advertisement served.

Truth is, the ad at the end of the video is never seen. Or something.

I see like 400 total views of videos and like 10 ads served and 0 ads clicked. in the three years I have been with Revver.com I have made almost six dollars and fifty cents for my efforts. I have 26 videos there. Sure you can tell me that I need more videos, but come on, 26 videos and only 6 dollars.. that’s not even enough for the effort I spent into my first video, and upload and for all conversion.

Here is a depressing screen shot

That is the total after 3 years. look at the past few months of views.

The first month I made about 5 dollars, since then , it has been petty pennies from time to time. The only thing I have seen worse than revver is Helium.

I just uploaded my Videos from Ike. So far in  20 hours, one video of 10 has made it to “accepted”.

Affiliate program gets lawsuite

I was signed with an affiliate program for years, and never made more than $7. Two weeks ago I got a notice in my email saying they sold the company. They went on saying that all current bills will be paid by the end of what ever month, not sure I just started to ignore the junk I would get from them.

now this is what I suspected all along.

RE: Important Legal Notice Regarding Commission Junction’s Affiliate Network

If you joined or were a member of the affiliate marketing networks operated by ValueClick, Inc., Commission Junction, Inc. and/or Be Free (collectively, “Defendants”), between April 20, 2003 and the present, you may be a class member in Settlement Recovery Center et al. v. ValueClick, Inc. et al., No. 2:07-cv-02638-FMC-CTx, a lawsuit which is pending in the Central District of California. The Settlement Notice informs you of the Court’s certification of a class for settlement purposes; the nature of the claims alleged; your right to participate in, or exclude yourself from, the class; a proposed settlement; and how you can claim an award of advertising credits under the settlement or object to the settlement.

The proposed settlement will resolve claims that Defendants failed to adequately monitor Commission Junction’s Network for the use by third parties of software that does not comply with Commission Junction’s (“CJ”) Publisher Code of Conduct and that is intended to steal or divert commissions from publishers on CJ’s network (“Non-compliant Software”), failed to adequately monitor or prevent third parties from engaging in the theft or “hijacking” of commissions from Advertisers and Publishers on CJ’s Network, and failed to make sufficient disclosures regarding the existence of Non-compliant Software and commission theft, resulting in losses to both advertisers and publishers on the CJ Network.

The proposed settlement will provide a monetary recovery to eligible class members. For class members that currently maintain an account on the CJ Network will receive payment through payments or credits deposited or applied to their CJ accounts; eligible class members that no longer have accounts on the Commission Junction Network will receive a check for an equal amount.

If you are a member of the class, your legal rights are affected by whether you act or do not act. You should review the Settlement Notice as soon as possible as there are several important deadlines that you must meet to take certain actions in connection with this proposed settlement. In particular, the deadline for filing an objection or excluding yourself from the proposed settlement is September 30, 2008. For further information, please refer to the Settlement Notice.

They used to tell me that I just had a crappy second rate website.

The email notice ended with
