Help Us Celebrate Jeff Pulver's Birthday - YOU'RE INVITED!

HERE'S HOW TO PARTICIPATE WITH A SIMPLE BIRTHDAY VIDEO CARD.

STEP 1 - Record a short "happy birthday video" using your own video camera or webcam.

STEP 2 - Upload the video to YOUR OWN YouTube channel.

Bonus tip: Create a link annotation in your video once it's in YouTube. Have it link back to our original video. (i.e., the video you're watching now.) The annotation is optional, but it would be really helpful if you can do it. (Please.)

Here's a tutorial Mel Aclaro made to show you how to add an annotation in your video:

Here's the link to use for the link in your YouTube annotation. (Right-click and select "Copy Link Address") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-BMmQzXubs

STEP 3 - Post your video as a "video response" to our original video. (i.e., The video you are watching right now). To do this simply click inside the box below with the grayed-out text "Respond to this video". (It's just above the Comments box.)

That's it!

Remember, Jeff Pulver's birthday bash will be at Kimera Restaurant. The address is: 19530 Jamboree Road, Irvine, CA on September 15, 2010.

... AND, the reason we're having everybody submit your video as a video response to Bob's above is so we can aggregate all the birthday greeting videos in one place from which we can play them all during the Birthday Bash.

Hope that helps! We're looking forward to seeing your video!

Hey y'all. Just a quick word about the point of the annotation. We placed a link in the description to Bob's video above for a video tutorial we made about how to embed a YouTube annotation in your vid. (YouTube evidently doesn't allow hyperlinks in the Comments area, so that's why the link is in the Description.) Please check it out. Happy video-ing! :)

@SnazLStaceySoleil Great idea, Stacey. Will-do.

Bob & Mel, can you explain to everyone WHAT the annotation IS and what it is used for? In fact, let's add this as a talking point for this Saturday's #SMMOC! ;)
