iHaTePiNk.com! - Video Voting Clarification

Sunday, April 01, 2007

First off, thanks for all the encouraging feedback re: my YouTube contest video entry. Glad lots of you have been getting a chuckle out of it. :)

I've been sending out clarification e-mails today about the voting, saying that basically:

HOW TO VOTE (3/31/07 - 4/08/07): YOU MUST CREATE A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT TO VOTE. ONLY after you see the confirmation message "Thank You for Voting! (Please note we only count your first vote for each video)" does that mean you successfully voted!

After logging in with your username and password, make sure you go to http://www.youtube.com/contest/TheTaxRap?goto=287 to vote or search for entry #287.

I didn't realize how confusing it was until I met up with friends I consider Internet savvy this weekend. Then I went back and took a look and indeed, it was confusing even for me!

If you were not too embarrassed to tell your friends about the video / post to your blog / forums, could you pass this along to them / link back here? Thanks! :)

If you have any troubles with this, comment here, and I (or some other helpful iHaTePiNkian) can walk you through it.

Thanks again for taking the time to vote and telling your friends to vote!

i tried to vote. i clicked the link to your video and watched it. then i signed in from that same page and clicked 'i like it', only to see after the fact that another person's video had randomly replaced yours after i signed in. so then i found your video again and voted for it as well. confusing... =(

hey did we ever figure what "bowl" is being referred to? that's the starving students scene and i'm chomping on an apple. maybe he thought the paper airplane was a bowl? Maybe he's high on ex. hahaha

hey timothy,

yeah, it's *totally* confusing. after logging in, you have to navigate your way back to my entry again yourself. boo on the non-intuitiveness of the site! and boo on that misleading banner ad on the right that looks like you can click on it! :(
