Thanks for your response. I want people to send me links to
their review videos as hosted on youtube.com, jumpcut, hulu.com,
etc. QBike provides - or will when I reach enough video volume -
a targeted way for bicyclists to view bike-specific videos. So in
the same way that people write reviews for Amazon products
or review hotels on tripadvisor, I'd like to create a collection of
product review videos for bike parts.
I hope I've spaced this posting a bit better!
As for the previous reply to my post about spamming, I am doing
nothing of the sort. QBike has been around for 9 years - it's not a
new
site, and it has plenty of traffic already. So I'm not concerned
about
new users; rather, I want people who are passionate about biking to
know that they can express their opinions on helmets, gloves, tires,
etc.
on QBike and that their reviews will be viewed hundreds of times. I
think
everyone gets some gratification knowing that their opinion has been
weighed, or, gets the same degree of satisfaction knowing their video
has been viewed on youtube. So without journeying down the path of
"this must be spam" just understand the basic premise that I want
people
to know that I'd like them to submit their bike product review videos
- or
make one from scratch! It might be an idea someone hadn't thought
about
before.
