hahah "what techniques folks with blogs and web series have used to help overcome apathy of our viewers" What a great quote. as far as the Webbies go, it's not easy to get people excited about voting. What's in it for them? The best way is to create a relationship with people who watch and enjoy your work. Creators get twitter accounts and twitter their personal world. They go to events and get to know people. It's really a small world online. The other thing is to get involved in other communities. By investing time in other people, they will invest time in you. Unfortunately, Ive never seen any shortcuts. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://jaydedman.com http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790
