One Must-Read Link, Two Mood Lifters, and the Greatest Photo Ever Taken
"He suggests that negotiating with something called the "Writers Guild of America" is not sufficiently terrifying, and a more fear-inspiring name would make the AMPTP fold. ""If the Dragon Claw Fire Horde comes and asks me for four more cents, I think I'm going to give it to them.""
"featured a live performance by singer Naomi Streimer (who recently released a single on YouTube) as well as a panel of Canadian YouTube “stars” such as Mememolly, an 18-year-old from Ottawa who said she was inspired to upload videos by watching Lonelygirl15."
Writers, quite reasonably, want to be paid more as their work moves online–to the Web, cellphones and anywhere else that gadgets send content in the future.
“Median earnings of all members of the Writers Guild is only $5,000,” he wrote. “How can that be? About 48% of members do not earn any money from writing in a given year. Of those writers who do make some money, one quarter earn less than $37,700 a year.”
The top 12 rated videos in the MySpace Storyteller Challenge as of Nov 16th NOON PST will be Semifinalists in a contest that could allow Maddison Atkins' creator Jeromy Barber via his character Clara to pitch his story to industry experts, and possibly win a significant cash prize as well as a development contract with Fox Broadcasting Corp.
In the last few hours, the rating on Clara's video has dropped from the high 80's down to 79%. Clearly, the competition is negatively rating the better videos.
We didn't set these conditions. MySpace did. Let's do what we can to help this worthy independent producer get his chance to move forward in this contest. Let's mobilize the "Red Army" now.
Please click the red link "Operation Storyteller" at the top of this blog to go to a separate blog with full details about what you can do to help.
If you can, help.
EDIT: Please review the modified "Operation Storyteller" blog page before adding additional comments. I hope we can all get behind this plan enthusiastically, and if there are any more issues that need to be addressed to acheive that, let me know on that blog or in chat! Thanks, ~ QtheC

In order to delete a comment on YouTube, you click on a delete link next to the comment, and an alert box pops up informing you that it has been deleted. This works for single comments, but when you have tons of them that you need to remove, it takes forever.
I created this tool on June 20th, 2006. It was intended as a temporary solution for the mass-deletion of comments. I used it for my own video, and released it to the public to share with the community.
Prior to the creation of this tool, I read YouTube terms of service, and made sure it was totally legit.
On June 24th I awoke to tons of messages. It turns out that YouTube forgot to check whether or not the user ID that is used to delete comments is the same as the owner of the video where the comments are. This means that you can delete other peoples comments.
Youtube fixed this bug at the time, however, I wonder if the problem is back now. Youtube did upgrade their comments recently, and it is possible that youtube upgraded the old code that had the bugs in it. This video looks very familiar to our problem, especially since the comments vanished in a flash, instead of one at a time.
I have e-mailed youtube with this info.
I tried to search for his tool, but it appears it has been wiped from the internet. Not really, I am sure it is somewhere. If someone were to find it, please let me know. I would like to test it (on my own videos) and see if it works with today's software. I would appreciate anyone's help with finding this tool from June, 2006.
I have also PM'd "fatherham" to do the same, but it does not appear he logs in to youtube that much.

Are the corporate suits ruining TV? "Zwick and I have joined that migration to the Internet. We've created a project called "quarterlife" -- a series and a social network -- that we own and control, and we had to give up our TV deal in order to do it."
"Because if it does, it will prove that there's a way to independently produce, finance and distribute ambitious content on the Internet. And if we can do it, others can do it."
