Your opinion counts and so far I would have to agree with you. Like I said, I'm just testing this to see if people actually use it. I'm going to try out another one of their 'products' too. It will just be a daily video post about their highlighted video of the day. @Jhon You weren’t harsh at all. Your opinion counts and so far I would have to agree with you.

It leaves me feeling that the presentation of the links is amateurish at best. Examples: Two KIND of related links for the "Master Lock Set-Your-Own Combination Locks" review. Both "how tos" on picking locks. Lovely. And the kindle cover review displayed nothing remotely close. The sansa MP3 player shows a 10+ minute review of a creative labs sound card. The other is a "how to" on converting MP3/WMA/WAV -- on the LOW end of truely related... This is my favorite: The "fitted sheets" do-hicky has a "how to fold your macbook air" video. About as related as a cat is to a dog. What would be USEFUL and not a space/bandwidth waster would be if something like an IPOD review included links to "how to" change your IPod battery or some such. Hope I didn't come off too harsh... Just thought you wanted an honest eye. I think it’s pointless — or at least in the realm of “not ready for prime time”. It leaves me feeling that the presentation of the links is amateurish at best.
