Well, gosh. I was trying to. I decided to leave well enough alone
after what appeared to be a somewhat sincere change of heart and
attempt to engage. I decided that it would be good to step back and
let the discussion go. I will admit that I probably shouldn't have
replied to Ron's message, or should have replied privately, because I
was actually upset over something completely unrelated at the time and
unable to just drop it.

But then this vitriol.

Anyway, I've had to cut out a lot of my initial reaction to this-- the
last paragraph will explain why.

It's a "for Dummies" book. If the folks reading it wanted to figure it
out by digging around the Internet, they would, and in many cases do
anyway. But they also would like to have someone else dig around for
it and print the information for them in a handy package. I don't hold
a lot of illusions about my book, here.  It's not Hemingway, for god's
sake.

Computer books don't have a long shelf life. That's not really news.

[Careful, Jason. Godwin is watching]

I believe in the post to which you are replying, I even said "I do not
personally have a problem with..." Actually, I think there's only one
point where I didn't preface my comment by stating that it was my
opinion, but since the previous remark had been stated as opinion, I
figured it was obvious.

By the way, I believe we both have supporters here. I'm sure you've
been emailed privately with as many "hang in there''s, as I've
received "go get 'em"'s, so perhaps neither of us can claim to speak
for more than ourselves?

Well, books aren't sacred. Actually, I secretly hope you hold a great
big book-burning party for it. I could use the press.

Yeah, you probably should have vlogged it. That would have been

Jason, I will make you a deal, if you've even read this far, and I'm
going to ask that everyone else who's engaged you adversarially in
this discussion to consider the same deal. I'm going to stick to
posting about vlogweek more or less until after the 9th. And I won't
reply to anything you say, and you won't reply to anything I say (erm,
though if you're in vlogweek, let's just keep it civil), for a 10 day
cooling off period (of course you could reply to this, cause I know
you want the last word and anyway, how can you accept a truce if you
don't reply?). I know I, for one, would rather cool off and come back
and meet on less hostile footing in a week and a half than have to
muddle through more flamewars.

Numbers 10 WAS the ONLY so-called test I did that was marketing related... I 
posted "DO NOT WATCH MY VIDEO TODAY" And you know what I figured out?This 
was the first time I got responses out of any of you. I don't even know if I 
would consider it a test. It was just.. "hey, I havent recieved any responses so 
what the hell? If I tell them not to watch will they?". Ref. 36916 
Number 11 was another introductary post, that I did simply because I had

It's quite simple:
Sending a message with a link to your new vlog: Not spam, encouraged.
Sending *10* messages in four days with a link to your new vlog: Spam,  
discouraged.

Give the people on the list some credit. We're not morons, repeating the  
same message over and over does not convince anyone (optionally: insert

VLOGGERS UNITE was message #12 - it was preceded by 10 messages containing  
one line and then a link to the blog. That's the big problem. The small  
problem is that the 10 messages apparently was a "market research

Why is exposure a problem? Is vlogging only fun for you if you have  
130,000 views a day? As it's been repeated many times on this list:  
Sending a message with a link to your new vlog *is* encouraged. Sending 10  
messages is discouraged.

Interesting thread. Something that drives me crazy about this group is that there is some serious confusion about what is and is not spam.
When
someone posts about a vlog they are proud of, some people tend to think
that it is spam. I actually apologized for spamming the group when I
posted a piece that I was proud of (thanks for the feedback for all of
you that viewed and reviewed it). I think that is a problem. 
I do not personally have a problem with:
* An introduction post the first time someone puts up their videoblog
* A "wow this was tough/fun/interesting" when there's something GENUINELY cool about a recent vlog they posted.
* A post introducing a videoblogging-related product or service. These
annoy me if they are the only thing the person posts, however; learn to
contribute.

I do have a problem with:
* A post every day or so with the same information posted yesterday.
Namely "check out my vlog."  Hey, if we didn't go see it
yesterday, what makes you think today is different?
* A post EVERY TIME someone posts a vlog entry. Sorry-- each individual
vlog is probably not that unique. Cool and important to you, sure. But
not enough to post every time you update. This isn't a notification list.
* People who use this group as an experiment in their marketing plans.
I can go on and on about experimentation in marketing, but the fact is,
Jason either lied about that, or is a very unethical marketer. I think
we know the latter is true, at least. There's a very limited set of
cases where it's ethical to experiment on a group without their
knowledge or permission. This isn't one of them.
* People who also privately email individual members of the group to
ask them why they haven't come to look at their vlogs. From email I
have received, Jason may have done this, as well, basically using the
videoblogging group as a source for email addresses to follow-up with
his marketing garbage.

I do agree that RSS is not a promotional tool per se, in the sense that
it doesn't get more people to see your vlog. However, RSS makes it
easier to get your vlog into certain search and index sites.
I
notice that most of the people who responded with angst in this thread
have pretty good name recognition within this community. I am not
attacking anyone, but I think that those of you who are established
Vloggers don't really see the problems for getting exposure for a new
Vlog.
This is very, very true. The "core" vloggers will, whether they like it
or not, be seen as "cliqueish" as more videobloggers enter the vlogging
world. That's not who they are, and not what they're about-- in fact,
it's hard to find a more enthusiastic, engaging, and inclusive group of
folks in the high tech world. But the nature of group dynamics is such
that this is a nearly-inevitable side effect of becoming "the experts."

Exposure for vlogs
is a problem, and it gets bigger everyday. Those problems are
compounded when, in a group about video blogging, asking for people to
check out your vlog is spam. 
It's not spam. It's spam when it's every 12 hours.
 
Oh yea, we just signed the paperwork for our new dog training studio, boutique and art gallery. 
I
will be posting video soon, and if it is good enough I will 'spam' the
group with the info, mainly in the hopes that local vlogging hero Josh
Leo will watch it and come out and vlog about it. Then maybe all of you
will get a chance to see our new place.  

See, I don't see this as spammy at all, because you contributed
valuable thoughts and perspective to the discussion. There *has* to be
a high signal-to-noise ratio on this list, or it will collapse.

The Yahoo group is cross-posted to a google group-- someone set that

*eyeroll* Of course they don't. This is the VIDEOBLOGGING DISCUSSION

You do not know what you're doing. You may work in Internet marketing
and have a lot of rich clients, but that does not mean that you know
anything about marketing videoblogs or about talking to technical
people. Every person in this group is an early adopter for technology.
They are NOT the people you typically market to. Your ignorance of
that simple premise has resulted in you shooting yourself in the foot.
