Hey thanks Jen. How was your trip to Mexico? So are you checking out top 50? Any predictions or candidates you're hoping for?
You're hillarious, sweet, clever, and you deserve your own show...of some sort. You're like the Sedaris of vlogging.
Hello fellow Ningers. Though I didn't come close to best job in the world, I'm still...cause I have the time and don't really have a real job....trying to make my fortune by going after loopy longshot contests involving making videos. Hope you'll ...
Chin to Win! I remember seeing your video and having a good laugh. I'm glad to see you made top 50! It must be nerve-wracking. Great to see some ningers on there. If a ninger wins, we should have one hell of a party in Australia together. Best wis...

Doritos, in Canada, has a new flavour, and they currently have a contest to come up with a name and create a 30 second concept commercial they'll polish up and use in an advertising campaign. So, with my brother and his… Continue

THIS MIGHT BE WORTH CHECKING OUT FELLOW TRAVELLningers
Hi everyone. I can't vouch for this in any way, but I go this email via Youtube for a site where supposedly you can get paid for posting vlogs of your travels.
I'll paste the message I got in here, and let you all decide whether to check it out. If any one knows anything about the rep of this website, please let the rest of us know....so this is the note I got.

- Hey Tony! Haha...yes that is jerk chicken and yes it's hard to beat the jerk chicken you get in Jamaica, although I did find that some of the Toronto restaurants were quiiiiite good! Where did you visit in JA? Yes, I've worked in Toronto and in London, but I've never had the pleasure of seeing Calgary. I worked primarily in radio while in Canada, although I did some work with Roger's television up there as well. Believe it or not in Jamaica I work primarily in print :-) :-P and you're quite right, working in Jamaica is a far cry away from working in Canada. I’m hoping to break into Television (as much as it is the goal of many hundreds of thousands of pretty-faced journalists). Right now I'm in the infant stages of filming a documentary down here (in Jamaica), because without a demo reel showing your on-camera experience it's not so easy to convince people you'd be a great host for their show :-). What newspaper do you work for? (Your video says you freelance, do you do anything else on the side or is writing your main passion?) Do you cover news, sports, or maybe entertainment? What’s your forte? See…you can always spot the journalists—so many questions! Lol.

Sara said… - No, I don't know any of the Top 50 candidates, except of course from ning and their blogs.
I'll stick around at least until the winner has been announced :-)
After that....Susie seems determined to keep the site going so I will wait and see :-)
How about you?

- Hi Tony,
I'm a bit embarrassed about it but I only just got the message you left me on my wall in early feb. I never even realized I had wall until today -oops!
It's a bit late to reply but I just wanted to say thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave me your kind comments :-)
Best wishes, Sara

Zellie said… - haha, have no expectations that the draft will be good ;) It's a draft, it's purpose in life is to be crappy. Last time, I edited as I wrote but that got really paralyzing as I second guessed myself constantly. This time I wrote more stream of consciousness with an outline as a guide. So it's very skeletal but I want to get the skeleton in the right shape before I really start fleshing it out and chiselling away (:

- lol, I will keep hoping you win the lottery then, but you ought to come with us :D
I came up with a phrase the other day which goes along with the sparkle idea.... and I love it and want to say it everywhere...
I think I must be farting fairy dust!

Dorota said… - Hey Tony,
Sure I remember you, I think you were actually the first person I talked to here on ning. I think it's much too early for congrats - I was just invited to do the test, I'm not even in the top 50. So please keep your fingers crossed and maybe...

My video has been doing okay on the site - not getting too many views, though, as far as I can tell. There are just so many videos up now!
