in Phillip Jeffrey - I don’t know that it’s a format that’s really... on Fade to Play
Webisodes are web-episodes of a TV show, so sure... in 10 years, once TV has either sunk or learned how to swim they may not need it anymore. They came about as a way to bring web dwellers to watch TV again, and I think it definitely helps to create buzz.

As for web series (or video podcasts or video blogs), those are here to stay... instead of being a marketing ploy from old media, they are indie creations made primarily for the web. Sure, maybe a bunch of people will use it to get jobs in TV, but there will always be indie creators trying to get their work seen.

My two cents... but there's definitely a big difference between webisodes and web series that most people aren't bothering to highlight.

tyfn I've discovered web series over the last year and enjoy the indie feel and how creative the cast/participants are. I definitely am looking forward to see whether more Canadians/Canadian web series are created this year.

Good luck with your own web series Casey - http://www.acomicbookorange.com/

in The Streamys deserve a chance to succeed on OMGRICK
I agree with you 100%... I want it to succeed too, but I also hope they can handle doing it annually.

And, yeah, it's pretty frustrating to say this is the "first ever award show for web television series"... does that mean our 5 Vloggies don't mean anything anymore? Lame... but it's a perfect metaphor for Hollywood moving in and not knowing the history behind all this.

WOW! Lucky Melanie Mitchell! Can't wait to see the photos/video!

I agree about charity... I usually try to give every year, but due to economic concerns I've been frugal recently and have been trying to save in all aspects. I splurged the other day, though, when a couple of cops were raising money for the family of a fallen colleague. He was killed when someone went the wrong way on the freeway.

Charity FTW! *High five*

As soon as I heard that you were trying to get the drug from Biogen, I told Rudy. Rudy's father used to work there, so Rudy then passed the message onto his father. I don't know if it helped at all, but just want you to know we care. I hope your father is in full remission. <3 Casey

in 50 Ways Marketers Can use Social Media to Improve Their Marketing on Chris Brogan
I get tons of friend requests on Facebook from wannabe Chris Brogans. They are mass adding your friends. At first, I add them back thinking they might be fans, but once I check out their profile and see they have thousands of friends (even though they aren't famous), their mini-feed is filled with friend adds, and they work in marketing... they are instantly removed. I'm SO sick of it, this is not a decent use of social networking.

I can't remember if I met your dad or not... I don't think he was home when I was at their place visiting you a couple of years ago. Still, I always love his voiceovers in your videos! Seems cool as a cucumber :)

Btw, I really want to be in tv shoes too! What are they, anyways? :P

in caffeine confessional on Sometimesdaily with Amanda Congdon
Mmm... Coke...

I used to drink 2-3 cans a day, but then I found out I had Fibrocystic Breast Disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrocystic_breast...) and that caffeine worsens the pain.

I tried to stop Coke cold-turkey and started drinking Root Beer (most are caffeine free) and ate non-chocolate cookies to get over my separate chocolate addiction. It was SO HARD.

Luckily, my mother found Caffeine Free Coke and I LOVED it! The only problem was that CFC was introduced around the same time as when they were introducing SO MANY other types of Coke (Coke Zero, Coke Lime, etc.) so CFC was not heavily promoted in comparison to the more exotic new flavors. As a result, no one really knew about it and it didn't sell well. Grocery stores eventually stopped carrying it and now it is no longer available in Canada.

My mother has been able to buy me American CFC when she visits the US, but American Cokes are made with High Fructose Corn Syrop (obesity, anyone?) instead of real sugar so I don't really want to drink it.

I'm REALLY upset that the Coke company didn't promote CFC... it tasted SO MUCH like real Coke that I believe many people would have bought it if they knew about it! Now, my breasts are starting to hurt more and more because I'm back to drinking regular Caffeinated Coke.

And, perhaps you're wondering... how badly CAN my breasts hurt with all this caffeine?

...So much so that if someone tries to hug me I will keel over in pain.

I am honestly hurt that the Coca-Cola company didn't work more to promote CFC. And I feel the pain every day.

Cactus Jack So all Coca Cola products are made with real sugar in Canada? Well, I've never said this to anyone...but I'm sorry your breasts hurt.
