You'll get an email confirmation when they get it reviewed and accepted...Ive always had issues with it not always showing "done" but the smiley still changes, and I always get the credit.

Making a video would be harsh. Not everyone even has the ability to do so, be it a camera to film, another person to film it for you, or whatever.

Also, yeah, shouldn't matter, I mean, I myself... I don't have Facebook or Twitter, so those ones are out for me. I do the other ones I can though.

 

[KeepOnSingin]

Making a video is super easy...most people have webcams since that is a standard feature on laptops these days. That's how I make mine. It takes all of  about 10 minutes to do the video, load it and submit it.

 

[Yukiko]

The thing is though, most isn't everyone. I have a camera on my laptop, but outside of that, the rest of my family doesn't really have anything outside of their smart phones. Sure, those can be used too, but it still seems like a hassle IMO. If you have a means,  finding people to record for you, editing the video if you need to, and setting the whole thing up if you are using more advanced filming devices could just be stressful for people.

Not to sound insulting, because it MIGHT come off as such, but the kind of things offered at BZZ don't seem to be for the tech savvy people. Some of us are, but I am sure there are a good chunk who aren't too. I know my parents for example, are as impaired as a lit candle in the middle of a hurricane when it comes to computers, camera, and all of that. *Shrug*

I don't do the videos. Even watching other peoples' videos gives me second-hand embarrassment, so doing one will never happen. 

 

[KeepOnSingin]

True, most isn't everyone...but my point is just that videos are quick, easy and painless to do. I got an excellent on my first one, and all it was was a simple webcam recording. I don't post pics or videos of myself with my face showing anywhere but my personal Facebook account, and have the privacy settings super high too, so I just angle my webcam down so you can only see me from the chest down in my videos. BzzAgent doesn't care if it's a high quality video -- it's the content that matters to them, just like anything written you do.

I don't know...maybe it's because I'm young, and I grew up with computers so I'm comfortable doing stuff like that...and everyone I know in school owns a laptop that has a webcam, and most everyone I know makes use of it via Skype or Oovoo on a regular basis. I know even my little siblings make videos on their iPods all the time because it's so easy. I mean, even my little brother who is only 9 has a "spy watch" that he uses to make videos quite often too!

Exactly! Thank you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I would be sooo picky making a video, first I'd have to pick an outfit, we wear house clothes at home, so I'm usually in house clothes, I would have to have good lightning and plan everything I say, my make up would have to be flawless and so would my hair...too much work.

I'm young too and grew up with computers and skype all the time...however I wouldn't like to just upload a video, which is why I'm not a vlogger, but a blogger. If I can't upload something  in HD, perfect lightning and speech, I won't even bother. It's too much work in MY personal opinion, for something like bzzagent, I already posted my blog posts about this and that was enough work.

Meh. I think that writing a review takes just as much effort as recording a video does, if not more. Honestly, for me, a blog post is probably more work because I have to make sure my spelling and grammar are on and make sure that it flows together and reads nicely, plus, there's the formatting that goes into a blog post...a video is as simple as press record and go!

They are sending invites for Clear 7 day intensive treatment. Kinda hoping I get this!

Still, there are a lot of technology impaired people out there.

There are many people who can't afford to upgrade their computer or get webcams.

There are people who are simply video shy.

There is a reason the geek squad exists sadly, Those poor people paying 100 dollars just for them to plug a camera in and charge it or something of equal stupidity. Maybe in another 20 years, sure, but there are still people in this day that are just not set for a video campaign like that, especially with this economy and such.

Dude, I was talking about my experience, not everyone's. I said that everyone I know at school has a laptop with a webcam and most people utilize them on a regular basis. You really don't need to argue with me.

Also, videos aren't required. They're just another option for Bzz.

I don;t argue. I simply state facts. You are the one coming off as snappy to me you know. :/

I know they are optional. I am stating "why" they are optional. Because videos simply don't work for everyone. That's the gist of what I am getting at. :/

Fine. "Simply state facts" ...call it whatever you want. It looks like you're trying to pick a fight by negating just about everything I said, which also, by the way, is fact.

Why in Gods name are you so defensive? I am not attacking you. Dear God, put the guns down. NOTHING I said in any of my previous posts were directed at you.

 

[Bernadette]

I don't know whether making a video blog (vlog) or a typed blog is easier. I have tried both, and I think it is totally up to the person who is making the vlog/blog. That is why it is an option, to do either one.

On another note I just noticed that when I added my updated review on the Garnier Dark Spot peel, it didn't show what activities I had completed prior to hitting the submit button. After I submitted and the page refreshed, it showed all of the activities I had completed. It has been doing this for all of my campaigns (I am in 6 right now) over the past 3 weeks, but like someone already said, the smiley always updates, and you do get an email to confirm your submissions have been accepted.

Maybe, because as I said in my last post, you negated pretty much everything I said, and it sure as heck seemed a lot like a personal attack. So "Dear God" -- stop. Okay? Okay.

I would never be able to do a video, I'm way too shy.
