Title: I can't believe I just did this!
Post by: cosine on November 01, 2006, 06:58:27 PM
I just registered a Youtube account.
I feel low.
Like every other Tom, Dick, and Harry who thinks they have something they absolutely need to show the world.
I thought I'd never do this. Tongue

What should I do now? Tongue

Isn't it obvious cosine?  Find the most embarrassing video you have of yourself and post it up on YouTube for all the world to laugh at.

Don't forget to post a link here, so that we can all heckle you mercilessly.

So I set up my Youtube account, hosted the two videos I needed hosting, and haven't used my account since. (although I still do visit Youtube occasionally.) Today I get an email, informing me that I have a new PM at Youtube. Spam. Someone pushing their website. How fun.  rolleyes

Isn't there anyplace that spammers' grubby little fingers don't infiltrate?  angry

You're not on http://www.facebook.com/? Think of it as Myspace without all the crap. It used to be students-only, but just expanded to the general populous.

No, I'm not. You guys forget, my Internet social life revolves around THR, APS, a golf forum, and an acoustic guitar forum. Wink

No Myspace account (no good reason to set one up yet), no Facebook; the only reason I have the Youtube account is because I needed a common video host for two videos. I do absolutely no socializing on Youtube.

Got any action figures? Perhaps a stop-motion animation of G.I. Joe going on leave with Princess Leah....

It's Princess Leiagrin

No, no stop-action videos from me. There are enough crappy stop-action videos on Youtube as it is. No need to add to the clutter. Wink

I have an account, but I have never posted a video.

I use it to bookmark videos for later reference, and to leave comments on occasion.

I've considered bookmarking videos, but have only found a couple that are good enough to be remembered.

I won't leave comments. Too many flame-fests all over the place.

Would you mind sharing some of the videos you liked well enough to bookmark?
