Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Can you all see faster than 30FPS (or is this why you suck at shooters I LOLLED)? Why has no one pointed out this 1/2 frame flash?

[Ironwood]

Because the first comment on the link already did.

And it's still SFW.  Unless your work is no fun at all.

[schild]

What? Tale didn't mention it. I mean, it has no place being there. It's a half frame flash.

[Ironwood]

Sorry, the comments on You Tube.

Arg, I'm just realising that others may have been using the 'ole Trippy code....

[Tale]

What? Tale didn't mention it. I mean, it has no place being there. It's a half frame flash.

I didn't mention it because I know why it's there. YouTube automatically grabs the middle frame of your clip as the icon, so it's normal to insert a frame like that in the exact middle of a YouTube video. It seemed unremarkable to me.

[Ironwood]

I wouldn't say unremarkable.  It's actually quite a fine body, as these things go.

I think I am supposed to be learning but when I'm done watching her videos, I don't feel the least bit educated.

[MrHat]

I like the attempt @ "The Word" they have going w/ the bottom titles.

Bottom titles.

Bottom titles.

Tittles.

Titties.

TITS.

Awesome.

I think I am supposed to be learning but when I'm done watching her videos, I don't feel the least bit educated.

Maybe if you learn (NSFW) her favourite word?

That's already been flagged by the YouTube community, but it still doesn't breach their TOS. After all, they're just random pictures of her and her dog, riiight?

NSFSW*

This Hotforwords thing is going to create at least a YouTube star. She just did a collaboration with sxephil, one of the actual YouTube stars: NSFSW* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7fMXw3tM-o

On recent form I'd now define (NSFSW*) her videos as erotica. Whoever her genius management is, they're now getting her to define "buxom", "metrosexual" (gets her to say "sexual") and "female" which is apparently derived from the Latin prefix "fe", meaning "to suck".

Still all entirely within YouTube's terms of service. It makes the actual porn video spammers look ridiculous.

I am still unsure as to the point.

[Tale]

I am still unsure as to the point.

Think dotcom boom. The current mentality is that if you get in on the ground floor as a star, you will have a licence to print money when the mythical web 2.0 bigtime arrives. This is the money of investors.

[WindupAtheist]

Wait, why am I supposed to care about this hot chick talking about words on YouTube?  Sure she's hot, but this is the internet.  I can get real porn at the drop of a hat.

Web 2.0

Nigga Please.

[Sky]

My girlfriend has heard my web 2.0 gripe enough that I don't even have to say my trademark line: shutthefuckup 1.9.

There is a contingent of tech-loving librarians who get off on buzz words and say shit like library 2.0 and make me want to stab. They are messing themselves consider the possibilities of web 2.0....but nobody can actually name a useful and wanted application. These are the people who invent reasons to use technology, luckily i'm the tech guy and my approach is to apply technology only where there is a pre-existing need and existing tech product to fill it.

Otherwise, shutthefuckup 1.9.

The ability to prioritize traffic.  I'm not saying it's wanted by the likes of you and I, or that it's usefulness isn't debatable but it is wanted by certain groups.

edit: Ignore my last, over.  I was thinking of the internet2 backbone.  Got my buzzwords crossed.  I have no idea if web 2.0 actually encompasses a concrete idea.

[Yegolev]

Hmm, is AJAX Web 2.0?  I, too, am not sure what the term actually means.

[Sky]

The wiki explains what it's supposed to mean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

I like TBL's quote:

Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web.

Basically I take it to mean a web where it's easier for non-tech dipshits to do what tech people have been doing since before the internet existed in its current form. I was running a 'social networking site' (via BBS) in the mid 80s, for crissakes.

[HaemishM]

Web 2.0 is a term only retarded business majors trying to sell the new internet boom use.

[naum]

Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.

I think the term is blanketed over the whole new internet tulip mania craze, 2nd edition…

…myself, I'm holding out for Web 3.14159…

PiWeb!

[cmlancas]

I think I missed PhiWeb already, since we're at 2.0 :(

[Yegolev]

Pretty sure Haem is right.

You're not their target audience and they're not my target audience.

Vast numbers of people cannot tie their Internet shoelaces. When they visit a site that says "CLICK HERE FOR THE INFO" they can't find the info and use the complaint form to request it. They reach google by typing www.google.com into the MSN search box. They can't find porn, just signup sites that open infinite pop-ups and give them trojans when they google for "sex".

YouTube is very accessible and popular. It is a platform you can use to engage an audience. With an audience, you can generate income - not only on YouTube, but by bringing them to your own sites. Advertisers pay per 1000 clicks. The Internet is a money-making machine for those who can generate hits on web content. In addition to showing them ads, you can sell them stuff (like actual porn).

As someone from The Sun said, "tits means hits". I haven't been saying "some hot chick is talking about words", I've been saying "look at this bizarre way somebody is using YouTube". She's a porn maker's marketing experiment.

It frustrates my compatriot Hugh: Hot Lesbian Porn on Youtube

[schild]

Actually, web 2.0 kind of has a use. I mean, it really does a decent job of describing the whole blogosphere social networking user-created content boom that's happened in the last 3-5 years.

The real problem arises when people use it to be hip and trendy. Like "new games journalism." I do believe that sort of talk should get you shot.

Basically I take it to mean a web where it's easier for non-tech dipshits to do what tech people have been doing since before the internet existed in its current form.

So... basically, GPS just makes it easier for dipshits to do what we've been doing with the sextant for three hundred years.

I agree that "Web 2.0" is either a) an omnibus banner or b) trendy-speak, depending on who's saying it. Both are bad. Making things easier for grandma or the guy across from me in class intrinsically isn't.

That said, I find Morgan Webb (and Jennifer Garner for that matter) attractive. All my friends disagree with me, but I'm comfortable with my brokenness.

[Ironwood]

I still use a sextant.  Fuck that GPS shit.

[Tale]

sextant

Now there's a word she could use.

[Murgos]

I think I missed PhiWeb already, since we're at 2.0 :(

We could stiill do 'Web e' though...
