Well, I've joined, but I'm not toltally sure that group isn't just spam. I'm all for having more excuses to play with youtube, but honestly, I think sull is write. Youtube groups, or any group without email based discussion for that matter is just freaking pointless. Flickr groups are about as sucessful as a group can get with out email... and quite frankly they suck. Particularly a a forum for discussion... which are always almost nonexistent.
But... if you post videos there, and chat there, I'll be sure to friend you... and subscribe... and check your posts... when I remember to actually go back and visit it that is... once every couple new moons. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog mefeedia.com On 7/31/07, Ed Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Count me in, [EMAIL PROTECTED], I have 11 short vids on youtube and they > do a great job of giving me exposure and even selling a book now and then. > I only have about 1,600 views, which doesn't put me in the class of vids of > 17 yr old girls, or pet tricks, but it is not bad.
