Blog Post: Get rich & famous in under 30-seconds!

This is really cool, now I gotta figure out why I'm addicted to Gaia ninja

Well guys and gals..... I called again, but did not leave a message because everyone is saying that the inbox is full. No, it's not. So, maybe they purge every so often. Try again, I say. It's worth it!!!!

Intersting. But only for US residents. Can you imagine me calling you from Poland? I would have a chance to get wealthy online but a begger irl D; Anyway, good idea. But think of your international users as well.

a touch dooms an empire.

I would rather do a video and post it to Youtube instead of calling in..... neutral

In a semi-response to these two posts, I feel as if the Youtube idea is a GREAT idea.

When I called the line the first time, I got the dreaded "busy" tone, and went onto this thread to see if it was just me or if others were. There were statements that said "Tried a few times, couldn't get through at first but eventually I did, etc." so I called a second time. I got through, but was given a "Inbox is full" and "There has been an error" message, along with just a long pause that I wasn't sure what to do about. I hung up, and found that other Gaians were posting the same stories on here.

You've done Youtube video contests before, but this one is simple enough that if it were in Youtube form, SEVERAL more Gaians could react and you wouldn't have to worry about the line being busy, or the inbox being full [Especially if it's just a Youtube response, though I think that would be too simple for entry, and there would be a lot of spam "entries"]. The Youtube response would also service those that are international users, because if they have the internet, and if they have gaia, they're likely to have Youtube and a camera at hand to video tape themselves. Just as well, Gaians could edit their videos using something as simple as Windows Video Editor to make it 30 seconds, instead of worrying if they're 5 seconds over because they're reciting their User Name. Plus, people wouldn't have to worry about long distance calling charges, for people like me who live on the East Coast.

I like the creativity of this contest, but it's probably a MESS at Gaia HQ right now because there are thousands of Gaians who want gold. I just feel that a Youtube video response instead of a Phone Call would be much more effective. :]
