If it’s embedding it then I feel like I have wasted the past month banging around and doing all the sh** for nothing I won’t be in the theater as planned on Thursday and Saturday. This has turned into a big smelling pile.

They obviously don’t stay at the top once you get them there.

I am tempted to take mine off of my Facebook page. I felt weird putting it on there in the first place.

But yes I totally agree with you, aliotsy.

I’m beginning to wonder if they are tracking user_id references in the links to the unique IP addresses that “click” on them. That is, 5 hits from 5 different IP addresses for a single user_id’s video might be worth more than 5 hits from *one* IP address.

That theory, unfortunately, is consistent with getting the links out to as many diverse places as possible, getting as many unique clicks as possible, for the purposes of spamming an Ovaltine message..

That would be supremely disappointing.

@183 Matt – Also want to point out that I’m not particularly thrilled with the idea that all of this effort may culminate in us simply spamming a commercial for Paramount on our Facebook accounts. That would be a pitiful payoff that’s incredibly disproportional to the the incredible teamwork, enthusiasm, and dedication people have put in to this.

It’s a disappointment akin to a 21st-century “Drink More Ovaltine.”

Or just pick one, which is what we’ve been doing (for the most part) already.

Credit goes to Aliotsy, and then Raphael in the chat room for this, but perhaps the key really is embedding it on social network sites (facebook etc…). Then when the movie opens Thursday, the video will change and it’ll say “Watch Star Trek,” or some odd thing

Problem with that is that many of us have done that already. Can’t do it more than we already have!

Perhaps we should get as many people as possible to play this one (like we’ve discussed before)…

So instead of everyone spamming a handful of videos, everyone should create multiple individual videos with different user_id’s and play them???

Or create three videos – one with the sine, one with the square, and one with the sawtooth??

Huh???
