Recognised off YouTube
October 7, 2008
Strange thing happened to me last week - I did start this post that very night but then forgot about it - I was in town and somebody comes up to me and says ‘I’ve seen your video on YouTube’.
Talk about brain screw.
It was such a weird experience being recognised for something I published myself instead of something I published for the BBC.
The guy comes up to me, he was in Jersey on holiday for the Branchage film festival, looks at my bag and says ‘I’ve seen your bag on YouTube’.
It was a video I made FOUR MONTHS ago called ‘My backpack goes on two shoulders’. He said it was the first thing he saw when he searched for Jersey.
He also suggested I should do a few more videos like that with my backpack in places around the island - showing off Jersey from the perspective of a backpack.
I think he might have been a little bit drunk.

A while ago a petition was launched on the number 10 petitions website that saw nearly 50,000 people call on the Prime Minister to make Jeremy Clarkson the … well Prime Minister.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I’m addicted to any social network, I’m also addicted to domain names and to registering for sites and services.

Should I tube it up?
February 13, 2008
I’m thinking about launching a video blog - I’ve already launched a photo stream - as this new template makes that pretty easy - but should I go video too?
The template lets me easily put a YouTube video on the right hand side of the hompage and I could simply set up a category called Video that would mean I could create an rss feed.
