This has to be the best web video I have seen in a long long time.  Right up my alley!

If you know of anymore of equal or better quality, let me now. Always looking for videos to share on the Web Hosting Show’s video showcase.

 

How To Get Attention

Comments off · August 17, 2006 at 10:31 am · Hot Web Topics, Personal

Now it is no secret that I write a lot of articles and posts on a lot of different topics. From web hosting to Firefox to even freeware files, I pretty much cover it all. One thing that gets on my nerves more than anything else is somebody ordering me to write something about them.

I recently got an E-mail that started something like this:

Hi, I saw that you reviewed *Insert Random Topic Here* the other day. I can’t belive you missed reviewing my product. I have been around five times as long, and I have gotten so many awards. Why are you ignoring me?

Remember what your mother said about catching more flies with honey than vinegar? It was true! You think I am going to bend over backwards to help out a person like that? I don’t think so. Now how should have that have gone?

Hi, I saw that your review of *Insert Random Topic Here* and I loved it. Since you gave it a try, I would love it if you try my product as well. I have won a few awards for it, so I do think you might like checking it out. Thanks for your time!

If you want people to give you attention, try not to come off as an egotisical jerk.

 

Rose vs Calacanis - Ladder Match!

Comments off · July 26, 2006 at 9:48 am · Hot Web Topics

I have the solution for all the Netscape versus Digg arguing going back and forth on the Web these days. We take both Kevin Rose and Jason Calacanis and put them in a ring! Let’s toss in a ladder for good measure, and high above the ring we could put a big sack of publicity.

Watching them both battle it out in headlocks and suplexes would be a lot more entertaining than seeing the battle of the egos that we have now. This isn’t about Netscape wanting Digg’s users. This is about Jason Calacanis wanting free publicity by picking on the biggest dog in the yard. Even if he eventually looses this battle, he has already won the war. More people have checked him out and have checked out the new Netscape.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love watching a good fight. I just wish they would pick up the pace and take it to a back alley somewhere in Silicon Valley. Now that would be a pay-per-view event I could really get into.
