I honestly don't know about being bored and not knowing what to do...plus it is sort of a paradox...not knowing what to do and every line scripted...if every line is scripted then you do know what to do...except when you forget the lines and teleprompter is broken...

**RadioMaster** · 11 Jun 2009, 23:02

that's exactly what I said lol

One opinion is that he's bought and doesnt know what to do
Another opinio is that this is a publicity strike and every single line is scripted
I think it's somewhere between....get it?

What happened to your vocabulary????

Yeah, I get it...dunno about scripted lines but this is definitely publicity...

Pudding · 11 Jun 2009, 23:23

Why does it have to be classed as 'publicity' if a celebrity posts?

There's quite a few people on here who have blogs of one form or another (twitter, myspace etc) who post a lot of shit daily, there's no reason why Meat can't do the same without it having to be classed as publicity surely.

**RadioMaster** · 11 Jun 2009, 23:35

because incidently this video blog started with the first day of recording the new album.

(that said, I dont think it's a bad thing, I just think it's good to be aware that this is done mostly for publicity reasons)

Yeah, I am of the same opinion...

snowy · 12 Jun 2009, 00:01

In the last vid- is it my imagination or does that 'creation' infront of the pot with his sauce in look like the 'tuna surprise' Meat made with Gordon Ramsey last year?

I think it is the crushed crisps on top that caught my eye.

(Watches while everyone goes back to have a look at the vid again!!

)

MeatGrl1 · 12 Jun 2009, 00:07

It is !!

If you have read Joe's update then it is confirmed

He announced "surprises", didn't he?

If it was purely for publicity reasons then there'd be more substance in the video's and information posted on the twitter site. The majority of Meat fans are going to buy the album regardless, any new fans aren't going to get turned on from the video's, therefor the whole notion that it's purely for publicity doesn't work with me.

Vickip · 12 Jun 2009, 04:09

Exactly. I don't see it any more than Meat just having fun, like when Kasim used to post his "backstage" videos when they were on tour.

MeatGrl1 · 12 Jun 2009, 04:46

Well OK seems to be a technical fault but you get sound at the end of it

!!!

Meat's hurt

And in the studio NOT the kitchen

!!

In the studio

Pudding · 12 Jun 2009, 05:03

Sorry Meatgril, just got my update from Mr.RSSRobot, I guess you're sacked for being too slow.

I like the intro Meat played, hope to God it isn't part of Los Angeloser as I might have to eat my own words

not neccessarily. (I spelt that wrong, didnt I?)
If they really were to put a lot of substancial info in these videos, they could hardly cover one week, without giving away everything. At the moment he's posting about two vids a day, and at that rate you cant really put more info in. Besides this is a video blog, not a documentary, so it's purpose is not to inform, it's to give an impression of the recording process.
And besides, I said this is done for publicity reasons, not for marketing reasons. That's a difference. If it was for marketing, they'd try to enlarge the group of possible album buyers, while these videos only help his image.
He might win a lot of twitter freaks over as fans by this, or at least people who were casual fans/interested in his music so far. So theyd stay faithful, look for updates and might consider to buy the album.
Let's face it: 99% of people who know there's a new album coming out are either on this site, or on twitter.

And another pro for publicity is that this is definitely NOT him twittering...it even said on one entry that it's his assistant. In any event, whoever is doing it doesn't know the first thing about internet...the format in which this all is coming out would have been so much better served on facebook fanpage in my opinion

Wtf?

I completely disagree as I believe facebook fanpages are not viewable for people who don't have a facebook account. Why in God's name would you restrict yourself to a specific logged in audience. Twitter is the best tool for this job currently if you can't use a website imo.

mszee · 12 Jun 2009, 15:44

That was my opinion...primary purpose of Twitter ain't posting videos as twits...

What I think she means, and I agree, is that the general idea of twitter is to post short text messages to keep twiterees informed as to what the twittererererer is doing. If I twitted it'd be things like "Had a crap. Wonder why sweetcorn doesn't get digested" and similarly exciting posts, so it's fortunate I don't bother. It's even more fortunate that I don't post videos of such exciting happenings ...

AndrewG · 12 Jun 2009, 15:55

That roxanne has set up a youtube account though with all the videos. It is just not as easy to stay up to date with that as it is with Twitter imo. But yeah Twitter doesn't allow embedded videos. It may do at some stage I guess.

daveake · 12 Jun 2009, 16:03

Dunno how easy it is to keep up with new tweets (is that what they're called?), but you can easily follow a youtube account by using an RSS feed. Then any new videos will soon result in a new item in your RSS client. Once set up it looks after itself.

You got it now...where you can do a lot more on Facebook fan page...and reach a whole lot more people...celebrities on Twitter either themselves or through others post updates/news in their lives for fans...videos and promotional stuff is usually posted on facebook or ILike...

Twitter is the aloe vera of the internet: you can apply it any way you want too, and if it doesn't help, at least it sounds kinda interesting.

The primary purpose of Twitter is whatever the user wants it to be, provided it can be executed in 140 characters or less. If someone wants to tweet links to videos, that is just as valid a purpose as tweeting about what you are doing.

mszee · 12 Jun 2009, 16:35

I don't disagree with what you're saying...I just think that Twitter should compliment facebook or/and ILike rather than being primary source of video links posting...it just there is something that tells me that whoever is in charge isn't very internet savvy...that's all...
