It just is too difficult. My cheeks cannot go any higher. Someday, I will learn.

A young startup learned a lesson the hardway today:

Never colo with only one ISP.

Over an hour two hours, at 4pm PST today, Viddler was entirely down, all embeds, everything, due to power and network failing at entire Limelight Phoenix location. We are taking measure to replicate viddler architecture with other ISPs. So sorry Viddler people this is something that will be work to fix.

Viddler may not be known for it’s gangsterness but as of Friday, May 29th , 2008, we shall… okay, maybe not. Make sure to check out: http://makejohnnylaugh.com/

Thank you, Timeless Productions for Crunk Love

Austin McGrath and Chelsea Fish ( Dana’s Sister ) are having there engagement party in Ocean City, NJ at families vacation house.

My goal was to get rolling footage that made the night into a story (yes, like Cloverfield).

This was all brought with big thanks to the FlipVideo and iMovie 6.

Total Footage shot: 2 hours
Final Edit: 12 minutes
Total Time Editing: 2 hours

I am going to doing this more often as I finally have a workflow that works without ending up with all this extra video footage that takes too long to edit!

It’s been 60 something days since my birthday and I was playing catchup on one of my favorite people on Viddler (viddla in australian), DJSteen. He did a full on happy birthday video for me that I didn’t watch until just now! My birthday is March 13th. How did I miss this one?

Thank you so much DJSteen! You are amazing.

Today we launched a new version of Viddler. It was a quick release and I am going to start getting in the habit of documenting each of the launches via Video. I think it will help out with us listening as well as documenting this story.

Next time, I think I will try to make the launch video a little less business like and a little more fun!

Moblogic rocks.
TubeMogul rocks.
The video space rocks.

Viddler has been growing some really distinct categories of content (with no categorization…yet). One of them is Music. Kaysha has certainly been a huge part of that advent on Viddler. Well the first online music video agency has signed Radar Music Videos and they have some awesome content. Check out this music video, if you like the content make sure you give them a favorite!
