    Wow, you ended that at exactly 10 minutes!! I uploaded a video once that was something like 10 minutes and 20 seconds, so YouTube allows a little overage.

    I would make a terrible food critic. As long as it's food I generally like, I'll enjoy it. Like I'll eat any hamburger as long as it doesn't have quarts of blood running out of it. So I'd give virtually every restaurant a top rating.

    I really like these videos. I wish that Red Eye would incorporate some of these things you do into the show.

    OK…. here is some constructive criticism. I’ve noticed the last few vlogs have ended kinda abruptly because you are probably a little disorganized. I think a small amount of organization should be considered for these 10 minute vlogs. For example, your tweezer intro was great! but after that, there was a big of a lull. You should have started your interview immediately. Also, I believe you already are letting your interviewees know that there is only a short amount of time to get the interview completed. Perhaps you can tell your guest to keep time for you (because you obviously are trying to be witty, and you don’t have time to watch the clock), and your guests can assist you in keeping things on track. Perhaps, tell the guest that the conversation must be completed in 7 minutes. Then when you hang up, you have a short amount of time to wind down the vlog, and end it properly. The other option would be to just make the more interesting guests have two vids. I don’t think that is such a bad idea either. Well, those are my opinions. If you don’t take them, I won’t be offended. I’ll just be all mopey for not having good enough ideas for you to accept enthusiastically. 😀

    I agree that The Daily Alison may be “hard pressed” (get it, mmmm I love my cheese taste good) to change the construct of this vlog. This does not mean that you have to do more, all though who wouldn't like to see more Alison. I just think that splitting the phone calls form the rest would give you more time for both and it wouldn't be as rushed(This could work unless of course there is a limit on the total number videos). Plus you would surly silence anyone who thinks you cant do one a day if you do two. Either way I dig what your doin and look forward to catching up on your future posts, however they are set up.
