12 Seconds

[devotions4U]

I remember way back when I 1st saw your fridge video... I then copied U and made my own... I guess I will have 2 dig that clip up... those were the good OLD days...

[n00bm3ist3r]

I love the site. :-)

new and innovative. hahahaa

[OhCurt]

They've definitely locked in on something that works, so it'll be interesting to see what that develops into.

[n00bm3ist3r]

yeah, man. hopefully, you gain interest again.

[sultrywirelegs]

You lost interest! hah

And you started my addiction!

[OhCurt]

Sad, huh! Well hopefully you're enjoying it over there. Occasionally I click on links people put in Twitter, and there's really clever stuff popping up. But I knew it would have a short shelf life with me.

Wound up finding a completely different forum that's a little more private and has a whole different objective.

Different cyber strokes for different cyber folks, right?

;-)

[NBMonkey]

with time to spare

[Elaina43]

Me? Do I have a point? Hmmm...

Thinking...

[OhCurt]

You have many, my dear!

:-D

[Elaina43]

You're too sweet.  Damn it.

I hate the dentist.

[MicheleMidnight]

me? 12 seconds...lol..with my big mouth i doubt it!

[OhCurt]

Hey there, I hope the recovery process is going well. Just caught Loadbrecht's update on your channel.

[MicheleMidnight]

ty...going slow and one handed typing sucks donkey balls...lol

[Valthecatlover]

Haha cool idea. Finally, a vlog that doesn't take 2 hours to film and edit. In fact, I don't have to edit at all :P

[OhCurt]

Easy really IS better sometimes. HA!

[CinderFNRella]

good lawd I can barely do it in 4-5 minutes...unless I say 1 simple thing... insert F-BOMB then "you" here ... that always works lol

[OhCurt]

HA! No doubt. I'd send those out as holiday e-cards.

8-)

[TimberGeek]

My current shortest is 18sec.

[OhCurt]

That's good! Aside from this, my shortest is maybe 20 seconds.

[realnutty01]

Maybe if it was something rude and i could use hand gestures lol.

[OhCurt]

I did one of those over there actually.  Tee-hee!

[RoyalHairdresser]

nope

[OhCurt]

:-)

[BluesBrian]

The frig door is a nice touch!

[OhCurt]

Thanks. I've been randomly throwing it into the mix for a while now. Started out as a total brain fart.

[ydnarOrandy]

I am waiting for my invite. I have some good ideas for 12 second video's.

[OhCurt]

I've posted fewer than 20 over there and have already run out of ideas. You'll have a longer shelf life, I know it!

[ydnarOrandy]

I think the key is not to be stuck with the time limit. Find an idea, and break it down to 12 seconds. creatively holding the concept together. Just waiting for my big shot to stardom. LOL

[PragueVlogg]

I watched a few videos. Now you have to invite me.

[OhCurt]

At this point they're only allowing 10 invites per user and mine are used up.

*I coulda held off and maybe sold them off - DAMN!*

[childofares]

I've got 3-4 left if you know a couple of people that need one

[PragueVlogg]

Are you trying to get me addicted to ANOTHER website?

[sultrywirelegs]

I think it's a great idea :D

I requested an invite the other day and haven't gotten an email though :(

[OhCurt]

They're in the "alpha" stage which means lots of testing and bugs to work out. But hopefully you'll get it soon.

[childofares]

If you want to message me an email I can send you an invite. I still have a few left

[OhCurt]

This one showed.

But now my printer is out of ink.

Coincidence?

I THINK NOT!

[battim]

is this vlog about my sex life again?

[OhCurt]

I must be getting old because 12 seconds sounds very efficient to me.

And, yes, it's fun. But addictive.

I blame Kenrg for the 12second monkey on my back!

[battim]

hmmm this one looks fun

[MGB1000]

Whos got 12 secs.....LOL

[OhCurt]

It usually takes me 12 seconds to realize that my camera is on.

[Blinkazoid]

I'd probably wear out the speed up feature on Windows Movie Maker if I posted vids there, LOL. I'll have to go check out a few though. I've not been there yet. I certainly don't need too many more addictions. I'm working on replacing my sweets addiction with a cashew nut addiction right now. It won't save me any calories but I figure the nuts are better for me than the sugar. Or at least not as bad, LOL. And I actually have low blood pressure so the extra salt isn't an issue.

[OhCurt]

Sweets are bad for us?

AH, NUTS!!

The activity over there can make your head spin. Diana even did the first 12seconds naked vlog, that show off!

:-P

[christopherinsc1981]

lol I don't got enough time in the day too keep up with all the new sites people are going on. I shall just stick with this one

[OhCurt]

Even renetto signed up over there, made a video saying he thought it was stupid, and then followed it with 4 more videos.

Oy.

[TheWaterScorpion]

LOL, I saw that! "This is the dumbest idea I've ever seen, the logo sucks... I think I'll do some more." Typical Renetto...

[mysteryglo]

ummm, so what was your point? LOL

[OhCurt]

Judy, I'm never quite sure.

[missdivinestalls]

Do I get to play? WEEEE!!! Some of these people are 12 second addicts I done tell ya.

[OhCurt]

They are junkies looking for the next fix and ready to jab you with a shiv and take your lunch money to get it, man!

[missdivinestalls]

Stick em with a shiv in the showers!

[2of6Solutions]

Is that CPT?

[OhCurt]

Cardio Pulminary Tribulation?

[Staydol]

Um, Curt....what's up with your thumbnail on 12seconds? You look positively----possessed!

(hides, shivering, under the bed with a Crucifix)

[OhCurt]

It's that whole Satan showing up and inhabiting my body thing.

Thought it was just gas at first...

[IAGuy06]

Not usually but let me give it a try...

... four score and 7 years ago there was a man named Curt (no relation)... and he died.

Okay, maybe I can.

[OhCurt]

Excellent job!

I was even able to read it TWICE in under 12 seconds.

[thebigfatlamp]

12 seconds.. easy. just waiting for an invite now. :D

[OhCurt]

Andrew (1938superman) hasn't used up his yet, so if you have a way of getting in touch with him.

Me, I whored mine out right away. Oy.

[bjhorton2005]

Tried to check it out, but it's not working on my computer. :( Oh well. Not going to spend a 120seconds or even more to watch people's 12 second videos. I do think it is a cool website though, I might just check back later. :)

[OhCurt]

They're still in the alpha testing stage over there so who knows what the shape of if will be in another month or so.

[winger1212]

I can't do anything in 12 seconds.

[OhCurt]

That's what ...erm... she... said??

Wow, this comment crashed and burned.

[IAGuy06]

YES, but can your husband?... ba dum bum

[OhCurt]

LOL!

*stands clear*

[JeepGirl2]

No probably not. :0)

But I can be really goofy for 12 seconds! hee hee :0)

[OhCurt]

There is a LOT of that going on over there, trust me.

[cooksterz]

OO thats quick and delicious! :D

[OhCurt]

And totally non-fattening!

8-D

[bedoboy]

I am going to try and post my response again, its taken too long to process for a 10 second video, yes owe you 2

[OhCurt]

You and Andy both are on a roll then. HA!

[bedoboy]

Yes indeed Blizzy Jen did 14 secs so I am taking them. LOL

Andy still owes you 2.

[andymooseman]

Finally, the video loads!!

Well i've had a go Curt. But, i don't intend making a habit of it :)

[OhCurt]

I saw your video before I saw this comment. You got it in UNDER 12 and that's pretty impressive, Andy.

:-)

[YTsHaDoWkNiGhT]

I will have to go check this out!

[OhCurt]

Be warned - it's eeeeviillll!

;-)

[Ranblv]

I think you just did, btw: this video did not show on my sub list *sigh*

[OhCurt]

No surprise, Ran. My YT subs page hasn't been reliable for over a month.

[Lethesunshine]

What did you say??? I was distracted...

[OhCurt]

(((Mimi)))

I forget.

*runs toward something shiny*

[UndoubtedLee]

I don't see hugh2br comments here anymore. I wonder why...hmmmmm

[OhCurt]

Perhaps he abandoned the site for a 12 second headrush?

8-)

[infinitusverum]

12 seconds...easy.

But now they have Viagra for that you know!

[OhCurt]

Yep, for easier uploads.

;-)

[infinitusverum]

And a faster delivery....

[OhCurt]

LOL!!

[berzerkeley]

are the sponsoring you? How much did you get?

[OhCurt]

Not a dime. I'm a whore for free, baby!

8-)

[Zipster08]

Hell NO...I do try to do it in under 3 minutes though!!

[OhCurt]

Diana and Tony just enlisted.

And they've featured ChristopherMast twice already.

[EmCSpiteri]

Nope........How's that? :D

[OhCurt]

Rich with irony and biting commentary.

YUMMY!

:-D

[freeepeace]

I've been trying. I requested an invite, twice, with two different email addresses. Each time they say "an email has been sent" but it hasn't. So, no invite, no sign-up and no 12Seconds for me. So sad.

[OhCurt]

I responded to this earlier and it didn't post? Yeesh!

Anyway, I think what I wrote was... People have sent requests via something called Friendfeed, so if you haven't tried that route yet, it might be worth a shot.

[MattHawes]

I have trouble making my point is ten minutes or less! LOL!

-- Matt

[OhCurt]

Happy IS kinda longwinded, I've noticed.

BTW, It occurred to me the other night while watching the latest Happy Show episode that I don't usually comment over there.

Heading there now to say what popped into my head yesterday...

[TonyDi]

I couldn't get anything done in 12 seconds. Takes me 12 mintues to do just about anything....or more. VERY interesting question though. Yeah, from what I understand you lose your audience pretty quickly if you don't get your point across in short order. Ah, well, nobody listens to me anyway. :o\

[OhCurt]

Technically that's not true. I've been listening since 2007 (this will sound more impressive by 2009, trust me).

;-)

[TonyDi]

THANKS Curt and you know if no-one else did listen, knowing YOU were the only one would be more than enough for me. Thanks for being a friend. Wait!! THAT's a great song title!! HAHA!! I'm impressed that you've listened this long. But you know I appreciate you loads.

[Hippiefied1]

I've decided I'm staying away from it and staying where I belong which is here :)

xoxo

[OhCurt]

Oh wow!

Did you do a swan song video?

(((fuckashot)))

[PrincessDiana161]

It won't play for me :(

[OhCurt]

Probably because it's too long.

[popebenadict16]

i may be being premature here.....

[GramsandPapi]

I don't think I can do much of anything in 12 seconds!! Thanks, Grams

[OhCurt]

I can barely muster a thought and then forget it in that much time... as proven by what I've uploaded over there.

Oy.

[blubutterfly07]

12 seconds... nah

my videos never seem to have a point

i just like talking to myself lol

[OhCurt]

I think that is the point to the 12seconds site. LOL

Well, that and whatever else you can fit into that running time.

[MelodyOfVision]

Good! I love both of your OhCurt and AskRufus channels!

[OhCurt]

Thank you!

:-)

[MelodyOfVision]

The site's okay - they may be fine for people with ADHD. Just kidding.

Anyway, how come your videos are so grainy? I like your videos here a WHOLE lot better in terms of quality, content and production.

I hope you're not leaving YouTube!

[OhCurt]

LOL - actually, you may be kidding but there's a heck of a lot of truth in that. I can feel my attention span suffering as a result already!

And, no, I'm not leaving the Tube. There are things I can do here that I could NEVER do over there.

Oh, and I have a crappy web cam so I never get a decent picture out of a quick-capture type upload. It's a miracle they can tell it's me when I go into Stickam!

[kenrg]

Great promo for "the new, new place" - And, yes, i accept all the blame.

[anakin1814]

Thanks for giving me that first hit of the new coke Ken. Now I'm a full-fledged addict and need a 12 step program to get off of 12 seconds. 10 minute vlogs are so June 2008.

[OhCurt]

I just wish that we could invite 10 more people after the first "victims" either accept or deny. But it must have to do with server space..???

[kenrg]

Probably more like "responsible roll-out and addressing technical issues carefully" than server space... What a concept!

[anakin1814]

So THAT'S what a Beta is supposed to do?

[LilCav68]

yes, I can... :P

[OhCurt]

You're an addict. You need a 12 second step program.

8-P

[sukatra]

The uploads are incredibly choppy over there in comparison to youtube. I don't understand your sudden addiction to that sight, but I am enjoying your little videos, if only for the chance to see your bright eyes and sunny smile. Yeah. That's right. Make a vidoe like that and maybe i'll sign up.

[xjasongarciax]

(Places back of hand to sukatra's forehead) You alright? Was that a semi compliment or sarcasm?

[sukatra]

Hey jason. Bite me.

Does that help?

[OhCurt]

Wow!

Where's the sexual innuendo that brigtens my mornings?

Where's the "I'll cut you!" that gives me warm fuzzies?

Is this really Sukatra??!!

;-)

[sukatra]

I didn't want to waste time thinking up a good comment. Sleep was calling me to come back to bed. That whore.

[LukaIsntLuka]

I could, myabe, but I haven't been invited yet, so that's a negative. ;-)

[OhCurt]

Imajeanyes had either gotten an invite or requested one, and once she's in, she could probably hook you up.

[LukaIsntLuka]

i will hunt her down if she doesn't ;-)

[phekwig]

That would depend entirely on what's the point.

[OhCurt]

Good point (and made in LESS than 12 seconds). If you search musosf or ChristopherMast over there, you'll see some good examples. I uploaded a handful too, but I'm still kinda clueless as to what to do with it.

[fehquig]

LOL I'm too busy with YouTube and perpetually behind, you know :)

[OhCurt]

Oh I know. AND I can relate.

:-)

[Chivalryaintdead]

Well, seeing as how they never accepted my application for an account... no.

[OhCurt]

NO WAY! The odd thing is they only allow people in on "invitations" and once a user has invited 10 people, that's it. No more. Not sure if that's to limit a hater situation or if it has to do with server space.

I've used up mine already, but have you checked with Blizzeekitty?

[boobtubious]

Was your point here to show you are out of grape juice again, cause I don't see any there... MIKMA!!!

[OhCurt]

LOL - yeah, I've given up. He's too quick for me. And now that he has that the Mikma DOLL to help him, I'm sunk.

Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

[boobtubious]

THANKS!

[EnchantinFlower]

I micromanage everything, so I doubt it, lol!

I have watched a few of your and ChristopherMast videos on there, though!

o(^-^)o

[OhCurt]

Mast has been "Mast-producing" clips over there at a feverish pace, and coming up with really clever bits, too.

Me, I'm still feeling it out.

[FroGhandi]

12 seconds? easy. i might even get it in 11 :P

[OhCurt]

HA! The weird thing is that you can't just wrap it up in 6 or 7 seconds - you have to use up the full 12.

[anakin1814]

The death of YouTube.

[OhCurt]

Hey there, junkie!

[anakin1814]

I'm getting the DTs!!!

[OhCurt]

*motions to Kenrg for extra straps to pin Gary down to his bed while the rest of the detox ward goes crazy... but not like the Prince tune because that's a DMCA waiting to happen, yo!*

[anakin1814]

Detox or Botox?? I'm ready for my close-up yo!

*Hums Purple Rain because he just doesn't care.*

[OhCurt]

Sorry, no Botox left. Prince used up the last of it.

[BattlefieldDoktor]

To be honest ... No ;o) ... but I know someone who's worth about that: renetto ... hahaha, he needs 17 minutes to make a point

[OhCurt]

LOL - yeah, he needs at least that much just to tell us that our community is dying.

[Pippilly]

lol! My kind of video hahahaha

[OhCurt]

I sent you an invite, Pipp. Did you get it?

[wpgpeanut]

I know I can!

[OhCurt]

(((12secondsshot)))

[mtamorphis]

12 seconds?! Maybe! LOL!!

[OhCurt]

I know YOU can do it, Lisa. You can pack 10 minutes worth of ideas inside of just 3.

[txnrobin]

after poking around over there, 12 secs is just enough to get the appetite going, leaves me wanting more.

[OhCurt]

It leaves you wanting more from that site or it leaves you wanting longer running times? LOL

[dl737]

Given the traffic on that site, and the videos posted lately on this site - are we experiencing the beginning of the end for YT - or are the dynamics going to change?

[OhCurt]

Good question, Danny. It will be interesting to see what kind of influence that site has on this over the long term. There are some things that just CANNOT be accomplished in 12 seconds, so who knows.

[dl737]

I'm wondering if we will get to the point of turning off a 3 min vid for being "too long" I hope not.

[OhCurt]

(on a serious note) ME TOO.

[ralfonzo83]

i dont like this site

[OhCurt]

They're still in "alpha" (which I guess means the test phase) so I can see why.

[souixana]

you are SERIOUSLY gorgeous and smart and I wish you weren't gay or I wish I were a gay man. There. under 12 seconds :)

[OhCurt]

Very well done. LOL

[onemon22]

no.... The comment you have entered is too short. Please reenter a longer comment.

[OhCurt]

LOL!

[Suezee311]

Ummm nope. :D

[OhCurt]

It's a challenge, that's for sure!

[1938superman]

you totally stole my exact line RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD!!! [finger]

[OhCurt]

Hey, Andrew!

(_o_)

>:-D

[Blizzeekitty]

Finally somewhere to post my thousands of mini vids... and spam the Twits. ;)

[OhCurt]

There are a few certain Twits who've been extra spammy lately, huh.

I'm not naming names, though (rhymes with "mannequin!")

[Blizzeekitty]

Some people find it really hard to go from 10 minutes down to 12 seconds so they have to make 50 vids to get their point across. ;)

[anakin1814]

*coughs*

[Blizzeekitty]

*smooch*

[anakin1814]

How you doin'? I loved that movie Mannequin1814 starring Kim Catrell! :P

[Mannequin1814]

That's not what Siskel & Ebert said.

LULZ!

For the love! LOLOL

Do I need to send o
