In this episode of TallcanTV (subscribe) the guys review Sparks, a premium malt beverage. They recommend you don’t attempt gay hot tub situations if you’ve never tried Sparks before; they’ve done that for you.

If you’ve spent some time in a hot tub lately, send me your videos!

One of their recent series is the Surrogate Sharers. Fans and viewers can send embarrassing experiences to Rhett and Link, and they will create a video you can send to a friend/acquaintance that you’d be too embarrassed to speak to directly.

I know I’ve certainly forgot peoples’ names even after I’ve met them a bunch of times. Alas, this is to all those people whom I call ‘buddy’, ‘pal’, and ‘dude’.

Oh boy. Those guys are a bunch of fun! Be sure to check out the rest of their videos.

Be sure to look out for an interview with Rhett and Link on The Viddler Blog soon. Yeehaa!

Do you have a fun series you’d like to get some recognition on Viddler? Send me a message or leave a comment on this post to let me know.

With over 200 people in attendance and thousands of subscribers to this event – the NY Video 2.0 Meetup is quickly becoming one of the most valuable monthly meetups on the east coast. If you’re interested in attending, or speaking, at one of the NY Video 2.0 Meetups please see the official Meetup page for this event.

Thanks to Rob Sandie (sandieman), Viddler’s own President, for going to New York City as often as he can to shoot this event and share the video for all to see. I’m looking forward to going to a future NY Video 2.0 Meetup again. (See Aprils NY Video 2.0 Meetup video that I had the privilege to shoot).

We spoke on the phone while we both recorded ourselves with our cameras and then we put the two videos together. Turns out to be a pretty neat way to conduct video interviews when I live in Northeast Pennsylvania and he lives in Arizona.

Thanks for doing the interview Brian. It was a lot of fun.

I should have called this first episode “Contact me, and we’ll figure it out, together!” but I’m not that creative it seems. This first run of ViddlerTV is a test and an introduction on how we’ll structure the show and how all of you can interact with it. We’re hoping to do at least one episode per week covering your questions from the forum, highlighting the best videos and hardest working Viddlers that we find. Don’t hesitate to send me a message and suggest topics, etc. So, enjoy our first episode (beta).

Questions answered

1. Using Blogger by vtjones
2. Video to desktop? by Dirty-Dan
3. Change login name? by bkmc
4. Can I use an iSight? by ballistik

Other topics covered:

Thanks for shooting the footage Rob. Looks like some really great presentations and an interesting meetup. I hope I never get stood up at the avatar prom.
