Could you please view this video and have as many people as you can view it? If I have the highest view count, I win a $3,000 scholarship for school this year!

CinnamonGirl

I know you want lots of views, but I figured I'd ask first: do you mind if I post this on facebook?

So far, looks like the highest number of views from this year is 9k. I think I can get to 10k, so I'm going to try posting this everywhere!

Thanks so much for your help! We may have broke the youtubes, the viewcount has been stuck at 319 since 5p, but I know it's well over that. I expect it to update with the actual viewcount soon.

In the meantime, please keep clicking/sharing!

I posted it on my Facebook feed.

I think that that works within reason.

Update: Over 500 views now! Please keep sharing/watching. The third place person only has around 1400 views and I feel that I can easily overtake her!

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Almost to 600 views! Thanks everyone for continuing to view and share this video! Looks like I'll be planning something special for the 1k views sooner than I thought!

LordEden

I'm going to make sure to watch this at the client sites i'm at in the next few days, get you some extra views. If it actually give you a view per PC, I can make a crap ton of pcs view this over the weekend. Don't know if it will work or not.

Thanks, LE! The contest ends at noon on Friday, otherwise your plan for the weekend would be great!

LordEden

I'll watch it on as many pcs as I can tommorow, the client site i'm at has 70 pcs I have access to at various times. Might get you 15-20 or so few views extra.

Thanks, LE!

Update: We are up to 832 views! The person currently in 3rd place only has 2100, I'm going to continue promoting the hell out of this thing, and if any of you would like to also view/share/promote to forums, facebook, youtube, etc, that'd be awesome!

Jove

Have you thought of using zoom and the focus features on your camera? Perhaps instead of rambling about why you haven't made a video in a month, you could skip right to "Hey I made this video to get a scholarship".

purplelirpa

I can't make a new video.

purplelirpa

Update: 1,072, and that's over 1k, so expect a new, lengthy post tomorrow!

I'm almost halfway to winning third place! If anyone wants to share/feature/view this a few more times before 12p EST tomorrow, that would be much appreciated!! I only need about another 1,000 views, and it's just taken off on reddit!

for anyone wanting to up vote the reddit post:
Help, Reddit! You're my only hope! : videos

purplelirpa

That reddit post is really helping! It's up to 1,655 views!!! Gained 200 just in the last hour. I really hope that it keeps gaining overnight, I may just win!

dlish

im trying to watch it on different mediums as many times as possible.. i hope its working. fingers crossed!

Thanks, Dlish! I think it's definitely helping. The viewcount is rising fast! I'm at 2,055, with only 5 more hours until the contest is done, and only 400 views from overtaking third place! It's been a hectic night for me, going to be sooo close!

The_Jazz

So far so good! Even if /b/ did discover you. It looks like they aren't being too badly behaved, though. And they do bump your view count.

I watched it - will share in social websites - Good Luck To You

purplelirpa

Thanks everyone for all of your help! The contest just closed and they are going to announce a winner soon. Unfortunately, my viewcount froze just hours before 12p (probably due to all the influx from reddit). youtube sent me a message that there was a known error in my viewcount. I forwarded the info on to ivytech, but they basically said, "Sorry about your luck, we tally the views based on what is there at 12p."

I sent another message to them pleading them to at least verify with youtube first, since my accurate viewcount wasn't represented, but they didn't respond.

I am sad face.

Craven Morehead

Crap, hoping for the best, purple.

Baraka_Guru

I'm currently seeing 2,471.
