the video's a little goofy and my short "it's about the future" bit made more sense in context, but... I'm on the internets! (this little clip isn't done by my production company, but a local guy is filming the making of our film and how the new site's going...)

Its an interesting idea but I think film makers and writers biggest fears is their idea being stolen.

The other problem which is slightly bigger is the name of the project, if you search on google for icrew it comes up with http://www.icrew.info/public/index.php

this is going to confuse the hell out of people and its going to cause you very large problems because their site has nothing to do with yours and is already well established.

I hate to say this but you'd be alot better off changing the name.

well stubby, you look at the critiques here, and while they're a far from flawless system, you almost never see anyone accused of stealing an idea from someone else's WIP. I don't see it as much of an issue. Within a few days of launching, a lot of people have listed their projects... If people are petrified of an idea being stolen then they're not going to put it out there, but it's for people who want to put their stuff out there.

Regarding the name, I honestly don't see it as an issue. There are all kinds of companies with the same name. If icrew.info were remotely similar to our icrew.com, it would definitely be a problem, but I don't see how it's possible to be confused because of how different they are. If people are looking for our site, they would surely know that it has nothing to do with the European Union's water. Besides, most people would type in the "dot com" before they'd think "dot info," and as we just launched and are getting more and more publicity, it shouldn't take long for the google thing to adjust.

Fair enough, dont get me wrong I think its a great idea but its a web 2.0 company and all of them have their fair share of problems.

Will you be hosting video?

teehee, you can tell I'm smart cause I say "like" a lot

yeah, definitely, stubby. it's a different world starting out now, of course we would have been better off if it got off the ground a couple years ago. I'm not sure where we are on hosting video (I'm more involved on the Castparty side than the icrew stuff)... We've talked about it but I don't know if the capability is up yet. Most stuff tends to be youtube, as that's just the way it goes, but I'm trying to get them to use vimeo more.

Sweet, well I hope things work out, it is an awesome idea.

Thanks, man. It's interesting to see how these things work and how much traffic a mention from one place will bring in, and how the flow works when you start out.

We had a startup years ago that was really doing well, but unfortunately had to sell because the dot com crash was about to come. Makes you wonder where the internet would be now if the crash could have been avoided. Kinda seemed inevitable, though.

The orriginal crash happened because of bad buisness plans and the fact what most companies were attempting was way to early. People just didnt understand the internet.

Right now theres a possibility that we'll be heading to a second crash but its still early days and its very difficult to tell if it will or wont happen.

I like how you can't even look the camera in the eye, Ms. Shyness. And how you're constantly hiding behind other people's big heads.

ahaha. it's awkward to stare at the camera when there's a guy asking you questions, cause his face isn't a camera, which was pretty disappointing.

Now I wish I could talk to Becca, like, in audio. I'd tease you like how me and my friend Erin tease her friend Brooke, who has a higher pitched New York/Wisconsin crossbreed voice.

"I'm Brooke. I like fashion."

shakethesheets on Jul 13 '08 at 10:24pm
hahah but I'm not Brooke and I don't like fashion. and I probably talk differently when I'm not being wideoaudeorecorded maybe?

Wow, total love in happened while I was gone.

Cool stuff, looks like a really interesting thing to be part of.

Also you certainly sound a little different on the phone, and it's weird seeing you moving.

That is all.
