Got Wave Invites? Right Here, Right Now!
Okay. You know you want to get in on the Google Wave thing. Right? Well, if you’re finding it hard to get an invite (though I find that hard to imagine!) you can get them here. I’ve just noticed that I have 25 sitting around waiting to be doled out.
What do you have to do? Not a lot. Really. Okay. There’s no real requirement other than leaving a comment (and obviously filling in your email address which only I’ll be able to see.) I’ll send out the first 25 respondents the invite through Google’s Wave invite system (which looks like this since you probably don’t know 
):
Now, if you were so inclined and wanted to also get in on the new video service beta invites from Vidli.com, click here and fill out their three box form.
Easy Peasey!
They are hiring a new Social Media person to help with their launch of what seems like an amazing video licensing and monetization service that will allow anyone to easily monetize uploaded online videos. If nothing else, you’ll want an early invitation to check them out. And you can get that now!
Thanks for your support. RSS subscriptions are always a welcome gift from all of you as well
How Could Vidli.com Monetize a Video of Blue Footed Boobies?
Just a quickie post today before I get to brave the elements (and worse, holiday shoppers!) During my morning reading routine I came across this way too cute video of an actual mating dance between two Blue Footed Boobies. It is possibly the most bizarre and cutest thing I’ve seen in quite some time. Betting it will be for you as well. If you aren’t able to see the video, here’s the link to the Blue Footed Booby Mating Dance on YouTube.
Blue Footed Boobies from the Galapagos Islands doing their famous mating dance.
Now, if plumdiggity, instead of just posting that video up on Youtube, had used Vidli.com, The Official Video Licensor, they might have been able to make some money.
I’m not sure how many views it will take, but if nearly 40,000 people are interested in the video content you create, you can bet some of them are going to be willing to pay to see it.
And this is where Vidli comes in. The company is nearing its launch and has opened up beta invitation sign ups. They are also looking for a Social Media Person to bring on board. As such they’ve concocted a unique contest for folks like me to garner support from great folks like you. If you can take 37 seconds or less and click through to sign up for a FREE Vidli.com beta invitation, you’d be doing me the HUGEST favor.
You won’t regret it. Honest. And think of all those adorable little blue footed boobies just waiting for your love and affection!

Who’s Your True Blue Booby, Vidli.com?
Tonight after some holiday shopping to pick up materials for making some AWESOME gifts for Mom, Sister, and Niece (pics to post before too long. And don’t worry, my family doesn’t read my blogs 
), I decided to whip up a Twitter Archive.
I’d been following @Andrea_r’s conversation about the Twitter Digest plugin and got interested in the concept of archiving my tweets so I could access them past the 7 days or so that Twitter allows you access.
A couple of days ago, Ron (@WPMUguru) posted up a fix to the Twitter Digest plugin allowing it to operate correctly on WPMU:
Andrea was looking for a Twitter digest plugin so that she could start making a permanent backup of her tweets because the twitter API only provides access to the last 3200 tweets. The plugin she asked me to look at was Twitter Digest by Tim Beck. The reason she asked me to look at it was that it the option page did not save the settings in WordPress MU.
Rock and roll! So, I decided to add a new subdmain to the BoldlyGoing.com WPMU install and hook things up. Now you if you hit MyTweets.BoldlyGoing.com you can marvel at the wonder.
Basically, there’s the WPMU subdomain with the P2 Theme running the look and feel. I’ve got Twitter Digest (v. 1.8.3b the MU enhanced version) grabbing the tweets every morning early and posting to the site.
Finally I also installed Photo Dropper so I can go back to the site every few days and add some nice visual stuff.
And that’s what drove this post, especially its title. As I continue to earn your trust and eventually your support in my pursuit of the Social Media Gig with Vidli.com I was messing over at my twitter repository site and decided to post up a test from the front page (as per P2 theme). I did a search on Flickr for blue footed boobies and found that lovely little rascal you see above.
Have to say, they are really strange, yes? But adorable nonetheless!
Hey, thanks for taking the time to check out this post. And if you are feeling rather altruistic today, why not take about 37 seconds or so and sign up for the FREE beta invite for the new video monetization service that Vidli.com will be launching early next year. I’m buying drinks for everyone that’s helped me get the gig (if, of course I get the gig!)
Seriously though, thank you for your time. You have my sincere gratitude! Have a wonderful weekend.

Seth Helps Me Describe Vidli.com’s Video Licensing
Just read Seth Godin’s post trying to tell someone what something is like. He uses the analogy of trying to describe a spicy pepper to someone that had never experienced the joy (and sometimes pain!) of eating yummy “hot” peppers.
Ultimately, he’s comparing the trust you have to build with those that you are trying to get to experience something new (and hopefully different, interesting, worthwhile, etc.)
Hopefully you know that I’ve been working at developing enough online contacts and social media presence to get folks to “trust me” when I ask that you “just try it” as it comes to Vidli.com’s services. Actually, all you can do right now is to sign up for a beta account when they are ready to start opening up the doors to their business.
As a part of their business expansion, they want to hire someone that has proven experience in the world of Social Media Marketing. I’m hoping you’ll help me to be that person. It’s really easy on your part, in fact. All you have to do to help Hire James D Kirk at Vidli.com is click through and sign up.
It should only take you about 37 seconds, and it could mean the difference of me getting an interview with the amazing folks at Vidli who help people buy, sell and rent videos online.
How Can You Help Get Someone Hired?
Well, the answer to that question, in my case, is actually very easy! If you are into online video in any sense, then eventually you are going to hear about Vidli.com and their rather unique approach to making money with online video. They’ve created an interesting approach to monetizing video you own the copyright to. I’ve become enamored with what they’re doing, and am hoping to land a permanent gig with all the groovy folks working and developing there.
So, how can you help? Simple. Sean Murphy, co-founder of Vidli has created an competition that will land the top five referrers an opportunity to interview for the Social Media position they are hoping to fill soon. All you have to do is click to Hire James D Kirk.
You will be redirected to the Vidli sign up page where, if you do sign up for a FREE beta invite, they will credit me with a point for the sign up. Top 5 referrers by Dec. 21 will be invited to interview for the full time gig.
If you know me at all, then you’re aware I spend a lot of time online and share a decent amount of attention in the social media world. Having the chance to jump into a full time position in social media marketing would be a logical step in my career.
Your help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks in advance for sharing this with others that might help a fellow out.
